How are oil pressure sensor issues diagnosed?
When diagnosing a possible loss of oil pressure, the technician will check the oil level first, then the engine will be inspected for oil leaks.
If the oil is full, and there are no leaks, the technician will connect a scanner to the vehicle to compare what its sensors are saying to the actual conditions. The technician will test the oil pressure sensor and associated electrical circuit, and determine if the sensor should be replaced.
