What are the symptoms of a faulty oil pressure sensor?
1 Answers
The symptoms of a faulty oil pressure sensor are: the oil warning light will stay on constantly, and it becomes impossible to monitor the real-time oil condition. The oil pressure sensor is used to detect the engine's oil pressure, so when it fails, you cannot know the real-time oil status. If you continue driving when the oil pressure is too high or when there's insufficient oil, it can cause significant damage to the engine, potentially leading to complete engine failure. The functions of the high and low pressure settings in a car's oil pressure sensor are: low pressure prevents bearing seizure due to insufficient oil; high pressure prevents excessive oil from overloading the oil pump and reduces mechanical resistance, thereby improving the vehicle's power output.
