P0522

DTC P0522 (WITH RPO CODE L47)

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine oil pressure (EOP) sensor changes resistance based on engine oil pressure. The PCM monitors the signal circuit of the EOP sensor. When the oil pressure is high, the sensor resistance is high and the PCM senses a high signal voltage. When the oil pressure is low, the sensor resistance is low and the PCM senses a low signal voltage. The PCM sends the engine oil pressure information to the IPC via the class 2 serial data circuit.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
- The engine is running.
- P1635 is not set.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
- The PCM detects that the EOP sensor signal circuit is less than 0.3 volts.
- The above condition is present for greater than 9 seconds.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
- The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The PCM displays this information in the Failure Records on the scan tool.
- The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the engine oil pressure indicator, and the DIC displays LOW OIL PRESSURE.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
- The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.
- The history DTC clears after 40 malfunction free warm-up cycles.
- The PCM receives a clear code command from the scan tool.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Using the Failure Records data may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information included in the Failure Records data can aid in determining how many miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can also aid determining how many ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass and/or a fail.
