HOW TO TEST AN OIL PRESSURE SWITCH. Everything You Need To Know.

Hello everyone! I would like to share with you useful video: HOW TO TEST OIL PRESSURE SWITCH. Everything You Need To Know. I looked a few videos on YouTube, couldn't find the right one. Then dissuaded to make my own one.
I tried my best to cover briefly enough everything you need to know: how do oil pressure switch (sensor) works, types of the sensors and how to test the sensor with a multi-meter.
If it will help someone - my goal was accomplished.

Brilliant and very informative! good work! Thanks

Thanks so much for the lesson. however, I would like to know to configure the control panel of DSE so as to use either NO or NC Oil sensor/switches.

Thank you what should the ohms be for the other sensor unit

Thanks for taking the time to help us with this diagnostic... One question that I can't get past is durability of these sensors. I have had Toyotas, Hondas, ford f150 and many more vehicles with more than 150, 000 miles with no failure ever of the oil sensor. I have a jeep wrangler that failed after 19, 000 miles and this is a common problem for other low mileage FCA vehicles. These sensors seem to be pretty bullet proof except new FCA vehicles. What can possibly make FCA sensors so weak????

Perfect 👌😁 thanks for your knowledge 😊

I took advantage of this video a lot ... Wonderful ... Thank you very much

Thanks you sir to given a beautiful explanation.

Thank a lot for the info. What do people mean when they say ground you oil pressure switch ? Is that just to test the sensor it self ? I have a 1.9 TDI Jetta 03. My engine was rebuilt and now it's throwing the oil warning. It only does it like 10-15 minutes after fully warmed up and smokes a bit more at that time and not while warming up.

How about the orps ( pressure sensor on isuzu 4jx1 engine that was the common problem of trooper owner. The mechanic just said we have to replace the orps sensor he does not even check if that's the real problem . Please can you show in your vlog how to test it . Thank you !

[gustavette]

Nice video... Hi, how do you know if your car has one with the normally one or the normally closed, so as to check it?

[jwol]

I need to check the wires off the harness. Any info on this?

[articolo]

can you please share me all the testing parameters for oil pressure sw. for new development product...

[frankmontez]

Mine is 2016 Ford Focus SE 2.0 L flex fuel duratech engine. It has no oil pressure gauge so what do you think it does actually? I broke wire going into terminal that connects to it. Seems I need to buy new terminal and splice it into old broken wire?

[davib]

Great video, thx! Can you tell me if a pressure oil sensor like this can be used with a oil pressure gauge instead of just a red light in the dash?

[feellucky]

I have Merc Grand Marquis.
Does the unit normally read open or closed?
Thanks much

Hi, my Honda Civic had a small short while tapping a fuse to igps oil level sensor to my drl. I checked the fuse is ok but no power in the fuse slot. Good fuse means if the sensor is short? It give a check engine light now. I dont have a multimeter.

[meteorology]

How will I know if my sensor should be Normally closed or open?

[AnythingEverythingGh]

Is it the same way to test for cvt transmission fluid pressure sensor?
