Engine Oil Pressure Indicator Light

How the Circuit Works

The low engine oil pressure indicator light works in
two ways: it flashes continuously following a
momentary loss of pressure, or it comes on and
stays on with a complete loss of engine oil pressure.

When the engine first starts, before its engine oil
pressure rises above 4.3 psi, voltage is applied to
the closed and grounded engine oil pressure switch,
and the light comes on to test the bulb.

With the engine running, voltage is applied at the
WHT/BLU wire of the passenger’s multiplex control
unit. With normal engine oil pressure, the engine oil
pressure switch is open and the low engine oil
pressure indicator light does not come on. If the
engine oil pressure switch closes momentarily
(more than 0.5 second) but then opens again, the
YEL/RED wire at the passenger’s multiplex control
unit will sense ground through the switch. The
passenger’s multiplex control unit will then provide
and remove ground for the low engine oil pressure
indicator light through the YEL/RED wire. The light
will flash on and off until you turn the ignition switch
off. The flashing feature will not work until 30
seconds after initial voltage is applied to the
WHT/BLU wire of the engine oil pressure indicator
flasher circuit. This delay keeps the low engine oil
pressure indicator light from coming on during
engine warmup.

If engine oil pressure falls below 10 psi and does
not increase, the engine oil pressure switch will stay
closed. The low engine oil pressure indicator light
will then come on and stay on.

Refer to the Service Manual (Section 23, Electrical)
for specific tests or troubleshooting procedures.
