2.2.4. SPN 100, FMI 3, Oil pressure sensor: Electrical signal above normal, possible reason is open circuitΒΆ

Description

The measured oil pressure signal is above the normal operating range (> 4,9 V).

Possible causes are:

  • The oil pressure sensor wiring is defective. (Shorted to high source or open circuit.)
  • The oil pressure sensor power supply is not correct.
  • The oil pressure sensor is defective.

Reaction in EEM

The FC is stored and the oil pressure warning lamp is activated. Engine power is reduced (Degradation Level 1). The CAN message indicates an active fault. The engine protection functions that depend on oil pressure are not active.

NOTE: The engine oil pressure protection is not active. The engine may be damaged, if the oil pressure is too low.

Solution

First save the error log and then check the following solutions:

  • Check the oil pressure sensor wiring, the connectors and the contact surfaces of the connector pins (possible oxidation).
  • Check the 5 V power supply to the sensor.
  • Check the operation with another oil pressure sensor to see if the oil pressure sensor is defective.

See Oil pressure sensor for reference.
