Can the vehicle still operate normally if the oil pressure sensor is damaged?

If the oil pressure sensor is damaged, the vehicle cannot operate normally, and it is recommended to replace it promptly. Impact of a damaged oil pressure sensor on the vehicle: When the oil pressure sensor is damaged, the most obvious symptom is that the oil warning light remains constantly illuminated, making it impossible to monitor the real-time oil condition and thus failing to alert the owner in time. If the vehicle continues to operate when the sensor pressure is too high or there is insufficient oil, it can cause significant damage to the engine, potentially leading to complete failure. Methods to determine if the oil pressure sensor is functioning properly: If the system shows normal operation when short-circuited, it indicates that the sensor is a normally open switch output. If there is oil in the engine but the sensor does not provide an output, it means the sensor is damaged.
