P0521-ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR PERFORMANCE





For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W


  • When Monitored:

    With the engine running

  • Set Condition:

    The Engine Control Module (ECM) detects an implausible Engine Oil Pressure Switch signal.


Possible Causes
 
(G6) ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN
 
(G6) ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND
 
(G6) ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE
 
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
 
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE
 




Diagnostic Test

1.CHECK FOR ACTIVE DTC

NOTE: If the ECM detects and stores a DTC, the ECM also stores the engine/vehicle operating conditions under which the DTC was set. Some of these conditions are displayed on the scan tool at the same time the DTC is displayed.


NOTE: Before erasing stored DTCs, record these conditions. Attempting to duplicate these conditions may assist when checking for an active DTC.
