Low Oil Pressure Indicator Circuit Troubleshooting (Short)

  1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  1. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the engine control module (ECM). If it doesn't, troubleshoot the DLC circuit.
  1. Check for DTCs. If a DTC is present, diagnose, and repair the cause before continuing with this test.
  1. Start the engine, select DIESEL system, and check the OIL PRESSURE SWITCH in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
Is ‘‘OFF'' indicated?

  1. Disconnect ECM connector No. 2 (58P) and the oil pressure switch connector.
  1. Check for continuity between the oil pressure switch connector and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES -
Repair short in the wire between the oil pressure switch and the ECM.■
NO -
Update the ECM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM, replace the original ECM.
