P0520
DTC P0520
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
With low oil pressure, the engine oil pressure (EOP) switch closes, and the signal circuit is low. With oil pressure above 4.5 psi, the EOP switch opens, and the signal circuit is high. The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the oil pressure switch signal circuit, and sends a class 2 message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC), indicating the switch status.
