Engine Oil Light Diagnosis

When the engine oil light illuminates and/or the oil pressure gauge reads close to zero, it is best to pull over to the side of the road and shut off the engine to minimize the possibility of permanent engine damage.

An Engine Oil Light Diagnosis involves special computer system scan tools, specialized electrical test equipment, oil pressure test equipment, and specialized technician training.

The purpose of this article is to provide an outline for some of the essential steps involved in performing an Engine Oil Light Diagnosis. This guide can be used—by you and the shop—to track the progress as the mechanics perform the test.
