Engine Oil Pressure Sensor and/or Switch Replacement
Removal Procedure
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector (2) from the engine oil pressure switch (1).
3. Remove the engine oil pressure switch (1) from the oil filter adapter (3).
Installation Procedure
Notice: Replacement components must be the correct part number for the application. Components requiring the use of the thread locking compound, lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, or sealants are identified in the service procedure. Some replacement components may come with these coatings already applied. Do not use these coatings on components unless specified. These coatings can affect the final torque, which may affect the operation of the component. Use the correct torque specification when installing components in order to avoid damage.
1. Install the engine oil pressure switch (1) to the oil filter adapter (3).
^ Tighten the engine oil pressure switch to 16 Nm (12 ft. lbs.).
2. Connect the electrical connector (2) to the engine oil pressure switch (1).
3. Lower the vehicle.
4. Adjust the engine oil level to the full mark.
5. Inspect for oil leaks after engine start up.

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
