DTC P0524 — LNP or LNQ

The engine oil pressure switch is a normally closed switch that opens with the correct oil pressure. With the ignition switch turned ON and the engine not running, the engine control module (ECM) should detect a low signal voltage input. With the engine running, the engine oil pressure switch opens and the ECM should detect a high signal voltage input. When the oil pressure is low, the ECM sends a message via High Speed CAN-Bus to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then sends a message via Low Speed CAN-Bus to the instrument cluster requesting the engine oil pressure indicator turned ON.

The engine is running.

Ignition ON, observe the scan tool ECM - Engine Oil Pressure Switch parameter with the ignition switch turned ON and the engine not running the reading should be Low, with the engine running the reading should be OK.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B37 Engine Oil Pressure Switch.
2. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Engine Oil Pressure Switch parameter is OK.

⇒	If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 1 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

3. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground. Engine running for more than 1 min. Verify the scan tool Engine Oil Pressure Switch parameter is Low.

⇒	If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B37 Engine Oil Pressure Switch.

Static Test

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B37 Engine Oil Pressure Switch.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal 1 and ground with the switch in the open position.

⇒	If not the specified value, replace the B37 Engine Oil Pressure Switch.

3. Test for less than 5 Ω between the signal terminal 1 and ground with the switch in the closed position.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, replace the B37 Engine Oil Pressure Switch.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
