Inspection Procedure 23: Engine Oil Pressure Switch System


OPERATION



  • Battery voltage is applied to the engine oil pressure switch connector terminal from the engine-ECU connector terminal OPSW.

FUNCTION



  • Detect the oil pressure conditions and enter the result into the engine-ECU. After starting the engine if the oil pressure rises to higher than the given pressure, the engine oil pressure switch turns OFF. Under this condition the engine-ECU sends the command of turning off the oil warning lamp to the combination meter via CAN.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Failed engine oil pressure switch
  • Open/short circuit or harness damage in engine oil pressure switch circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Perform voltage measurement at engine oil pressure switch connector

  • Disconnect connector, and measure at the harness side.
  • Ignition switch: "ON"
  • Voltage between terminal and body earth.
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 4.
Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check harness between engine oil pressure switch connector terminal and engine-ECU connector terminal OPSW.

  • Check output line for open/short circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 3.
Repair or replace the connector, or repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III data list

  • Data list reference table (Refer to ).

  1. Item 90: Engine oil pressure switch

Q. Is the check result normal?
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
Replace the engine-ECU.

STEP 4. Perform voltage measurement at engine-ECU connector.

  • Disconnect engine-ECU connector, and connect special tool power plant ECU check harness (MB992110) to measure at connector for inspection.
  • Engine: Idling
  • Voltage between terminal OPSW and body earth.
OK:
    1 V or less (ignition switch: "ON")
    System voltage (during idling)

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 3.
Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check harness between engine oil pressure switch connector terminal and engine-ECU connector terminal OPSW.

  • Check output line for damage.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Replace the engine oil pressure switch.
Repair or replace the connector, or repair the damaged harness wire.
