Oil Pressure Warning Lamp




Oil Pressure Warning Lamp












The oil pressure warning lamp is situated in the top right-hand corner of the instrument display. This lamp warns the driver when engine oil pressure is too low.

The lamp is supplied with current in the main instrument unit and grounded via terminal 2 (K20) of the oil pressure sensor.

If the oil pressure falls below 0.3-0.5 bar, the oil pressure sensor closes, the circuit is grounded and the lamp lights up. At the same time, the central warning lamp comes on and, at engine speeds exceeding 300 rpm, the MIU sends a request to the SID to activate an acoustic signal.
