DESCRIPTION
The oil pressure switch is used by the electronic control module
(ECM) to monitor the lubricating oil pressure.
- If Fault Code 143 or 415 is not present, the problem is not
related to the engine lubrication system.
- Diagnostic tool can be used to monitor the oil pressure signal
voltage going into the ECM.
- If an oil pressure switch is installed, diagnostic tool will read a
constant value of 379 kPa [55 psi] ±2 kPa [±0.3 psi] if the ECM is
reading a signal from the oil pressure switch.
- The switch is a single wire device which requires engine block
ground for operation.
- Engine Protection will activate, if enabled, if the lubricating oil
pressure drops below 41 kPa [6 psi] with the engine running.
COMPONENT LOCATION
The oil pressure switch is located on the engine block, below and
to the right of the ECM.

TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
Step 1A) Turn key switch ON and read the fault codes using the diagnostic tool.
NOTE: If multiple temperature or pressure fault codes exist, this procedure should not be followed.
Step 2A) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the oil pressure switch. Inspect the
oil pressure switch and the engine harness connector pins for the following:
• Bent or broken pins
• Pushed back or expanded pins
• Corroded pins
• Moisture in or on the connector
• Missing or damaged seals
No damaged pins?
Step 3A) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the ECM. Inspect the engine
harness and the ECM connector pins for the following:
• Bent or broken pins
• Pushed back or expanded pins
• Corroded pins
• Moisture in or on the connector
• Missing or damaged seals.
No damaged pins?
Step 3B) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the oil pressure switch. Disconnect
the engine harness from the ECM. Check for an open circuit. Measure the resistance from pin 47 of the
engine harness connector to the oil pressure switch connector.

Less than 10 ohms?
Step 3C) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the oil pressure switch. Disconnect
the engine harness from the ECM. Check for a short circuit to ground. Measure the resistance from pin 47 of
the engine harness connector to engine block ground.
Step 3D) . Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the ECM. Disconnect the engine
harness from the oil pressure switch. Check for a short circuit from pin to pin. Measure the resistance from
pin 47 of the engine harness connector to all other pins in the engine harness connector.

More than 100k ohms?
Yes - Replace the oil pressure switch No - Replace the engine harness

Step 4A) Connect all components and turn key switch ON. Disable the fault code. Start the engine, and let
idle for 1 minute. Verify that Fault Code 141 is inactive and did not reoccur. Turn key switch OFF.
Step 4B) Connect all components and turn key switch ON. Clear the inactive fault codes using the
diagnostic tool.
All fault codes cleared?
