P0521-OIL PRESSURE SWITCH RATIONALITY
For complete wiring diagrams refer to Diagrams/Electrical.
- When Monitored:
While the key is on.
- Set Condition:
Oil pressure is detected with engine RPM = 0 for 30 seconds.
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding.
Diagnostic Test
1. OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Oil pressure switch harness connector.
Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.
Measure the resistance between the oil pressure switch terminal and ground.
Is the resistance less than 10 ohms?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Replace the oil pressure switch.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test
2. (G6) SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN
Disconnect the ECM harness connectors.
Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.
Measure the resistance of the oil pressure switch (G6) signal circuit between the oil pressure switch harness connector and the ECM harness connector.
Is the resistance less than 10 ohms?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Repair the open Oil pressure (G6) signal circuit.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test
3. ECM
Reconnect the ECM harness connectors.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage between the oil pressure (G6) signal circuit at the oil pressure switch harness connector and ground.
Is the voltage between 4.5 and 5.5 volts?
Yes
- Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure. Intermittent Condition
No
- Replace the ECM.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test
