Tell me about my Oil Pressure Sensor Replacement
The oil pressure sensor monitors the oil pressure in your engine and sends this information to the ECU and dashboard gauge or warning light. If the sensor fails, it may trigger a false Oil Pressure Warning Light or prevent the system from alerting you to actual low pressure. Replacing a faulty sensor ensures accurate monitoring and helps protect your engine from damage.
What is an oil pressure sensor replacement?
This service involves removing the faulty oil pressure sensor and installing a new one. The mechanic will also check wiring connections and ensure the oil system is functioning correctly.
Why do you need an oil pressure sensor replacement?
A faulty oil pressure sensor can give false readings, causing unnecessary worry or, worse, masking a real oil pressure problem. A working sensor is essential for early detection of low oil pressure and preventing engine damage.
Common signs you need an oil pressure sensor replacement
- Oil Pressure Warning Light illuminated without cause
- Oil gauge showing incorrect readings
- Intermittent or flickering oil pressure warnings
- Oil pressure light remains on after topping up oil
- Check Engine Light related to oil pressure sensor fault codes
What happens during an oil pressure sensor replacement?
A mechanic will:
- Scan the ECU for fault codes
- Inspect the oil level and condition to rule out real oil pressure issues
- Locate and remove the faulty oil pressure sensor
- Install a new sensor with proper sealing
- Reconnect wiring and check for proper signal
- Clear fault codes and test the system
How much does an oil pressure sensor replacement cost?
Replacement typically costs $180–$350, depending on vehicle make and accessibility. Luxury or performance vehicles may cost more if specialised sensors are required.
Is it unsafe to drive with a faulty oil pressure sensor?
Yes. While the issue may simply be a false warning, ignoring it could also mean missing a real oil pressure problem. For peace of mind and engine protection, the sensor should be replaced promptly.
