Where is the oil pressure sensor located on an Alto?
1 Answers
The oil pressure sensor on an Alto is located above the oil filter housing. Function of oil pressure sensor: Generally, vehicles have one sensor, while some models may have two - one on the engine block and another on the cylinder head. Symptoms of a faulty sensor include oil pressure warning alerts, constant illumination or failure of the oil indicator light, or false warnings. Consequences of a damaged oil pressure sensor: The most obvious sign is the continuous illumination of the oil warning light. While this doesn't directly affect driving, it prevents real-time monitoring of oil conditions, potentially delaying critical alerts to the driver. Continued operation with excessive pressure or insufficient oil could severely damage the engine, possibly leading to complete failure.
