P0522-ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW





For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical

- When Monitored:
At engine start-up.

- Set Condition:
The ECM detects that the (G6) Oil Pressure Sensor Signal circuit is below 0.2 volt for 0.5 seconds.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding.Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

Diagnostic Test

1. DTC IS ACTIVE
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, Clear DTCs in the Engine Control Module (ECM).
Monitor the scan tool for at least two minutes.
Cycle the ignition key off and on several times, leaving the ignition on for at least 10 seconds at a time.
Start the engine.
Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature.
With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
Is the status Active for this DTC?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Refer to the *CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC Diagnostic Procedure.Intermittent Condition

2. (F851) OIL PRESSURE SENSOR 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT VOLTAGE




Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Oil Pressure Sensor harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the (F851) Oil Pressure Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit in the Oil Pressure Sensor harness connector.
Is the voltage above 4.5 volts?

Yes

- Go to 6

No

- Go to 3

3. (F851) OIL PRESSURE SENSOR 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND




Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Engine Control Module (ECM) harness connector.
Measure the resistance between ground and the (F851) Oil Pressure Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit in the Oil Pressure Sensor harness connector.
Is the resistance above 1000 ohms?

Yes

- Go to 4

No

- Repair the (F851) Oil Pressure Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. Verification Tests

4. (F851) OIL PRESSURE SENSOR 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TO (K936) OIL PRESSURE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT




Measure the resistance between the (F851) Oil Pressure Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit and the (K936) Oil Pressure Sensor Ground circuit in the Oil Pressure Sensor harness connector.
Is the resistance above 1000 ohms?

Yes

- Go to 5

No

- Repair the (F851) Oil Pressure Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit for a short to the (K936) Oil Pressure Sensor Ground circuit.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. Verification Tests

5. (F851) OIL PRESSURE SENSOR 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE




Measure the resistance of the (F851) Oil Pressure Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit between the Oil Pressure Sensor harness connector and the Engine Control Module (ECM) harness connector.
Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?

Yes

- Go to 10

No

- Repair the (F851) Oil Pressure Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. Verification Tests

6. (G6) OIL PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND




Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Engine Control Module (ECM) harness connector.
Measure the resistance between ground and the (G6) Oil Pressure Sensor Signal circuit in the Oil Pressure Sensor harness connector.
Is the resistance above 1000 ohms?

Yes

- Go to 7

No

- Repair the (G6) Oil Pressure Sensor Signal circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. Verification Tests

7. (G6) OIL PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO (K936) OIL PRESSURE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT




Measure the resistance between the (G6) Oil Pressure Sensor Signal circuit and the (K936) Oil Pressure Sensor Ground circuit in the Oil Pressure Sensor harness connector.
Is the resistance above 1000 ohms?

Yes

- Go to 8

No

- Repair the (G6) Oil Pressure Sensor Signal circuit for a short to the (K936) Oil Pressure Sensor Ground circuit.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. Verification Tests

8. (G6) OIL PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE




Measure the resistance of the (G6) Oil Pressure Sensor Signal circuit between the Oil Pressure Sensor harness connector and the Engine Control Module (ECM) harness connector.
Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?

Yes

- Go to 9

No

- Repair the (G6) Oil Pressure Sensor Signal circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. Verification Tests

9. OIL PRESSURE SENSOR
Connect the Engine Control Module (ECM) connector.
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, Clear DTCs.
With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

NOTE: The scan tool should display a Oil Pressure Sensor high voltage or open DTC with the Oil Pressure Sensor connector disconnected.

Does the scan tool display the DTC(s) as described above?

Yes

- Replace the Oil Pressure Sensor.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. Verification Tests

No

- Go to 10

10. ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Oil Pressure Sensor and the Engine Control Module (ECM).
Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
Monitor the scan tool data relative to this circuit and wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
Search for any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
Were any problems found?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. Verification Tests

No

- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM).
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. Verification Tests
