Check Engine Oil Pressure

When the ignition switch is in the ON or START position, battery voltage applies through the IG fuse to the oil pressure indicator in the instrument panel cluster. If the engine oil pressure falls below 32 kPa (4.5 psi), the oil pressure sensor that is in the engine block closes. The closing of the switch provides a ground path to the oil pressure indicator and the bulb lights.
