Where is the Chevrolet Oil Pressure Sensor Located?

[VonTanner]

For the Chevrolet Sail, the oil pressure sensor is located under the hood, inside the engine compartment, at the upper left corner of the engine near the battery. For the Chevrolet Cruze, the oil pressure sensor is installed to the right of the water pump. Classification of oil pressure sensors: 1. Semiconductor piezoresistive: Semiconductor piezoresistive sensors utilize the piezoresistive effect of semiconductors. Their main characteristics include high sensitivity, a wide measurement range, and a strong output signal, making them easy to integrate. However, their resistance to oil contamination and particle influence is poor, requiring isolation from the medium to achieve accurate results. 2. Traditional elastic strain: Strain-type sensors feature a wide measurement range, high precision, good stability, and a long service life, capable of withstanding high temperatures, high speeds, high pressure, and vibrations, making them well-suited for automotive testing environments. The output signal amplitude of these sensors changes minimally, but they require temperature compensation in environments with drastic temperature changes, which is challenging. 3. Thick film pressure: Thick film pressure sensors are a new type of sensor. This form avoids the aging issues common in stress-type force-sensitive sensors due to adhesive processes. Thick film strain resistors offer stable performance, high-temperature resistance, and a temperature coefficient that is an order of magnitude smaller than that of diffused silicon.
