Oil pressure sensor?

Onboard is showing Oil pressure sensor. Manual says this is a priority 2 refer to dealer. I've checked my ETK and Wiring diagram nothing shows a sensor, just a pressure switch. Is there something someplace I am missing or is it the switch. I'll pick up the switch it's cheap enough but need to remove plenum to install PIA.
Thanks,
John

Re: Oil pressure sensor?

Mine has the same thing, oil pressure is infact ok, its just some wiring/electrical problem.

just make sure oil pressure is ok before driving.

fitted exhaust?

Re: Oil pressure sensor?

John, I changed mine (oil pissing out of the terminal) recently. You dont have to remove the plenum though, a decent 22mm ring spanner should do the trick iirc.

Yes exhaust is up and is very nice. It seems louder when putting around than when at speed. Now I have this new problem along with a new vibration I suspect is drive shaft.

I cant seem to get my meat hooks in there to remove the connector. Maybe I'll get my son to try.

Makes impressive noise when foot flat to floor over 4000rpm. Get someonee to drive the car down the road and take a listen.

Yes indeed it did, 24mm. The problem was that the ETK drawing shows the temp sensor as the pressure switch although part number was right. All is better now.
Thanks,
John
