What does the oil pressure sensor on a Chevy 4.3L do?
The oil pressure sensor on a Chevrolet 4.3L V6 engine is part of a network of sensors that provides the powertrain control module (PCM) with information about the engine. This sensor measures the pressure of the engine oil and relays this data to the PCM. When the PCM detects low oil pressure it illuminates the oil …
Where is the oil pressure sending unit on a Chevy Blazer?
Changing the oil pressure sending unit on your Chevy Blazer can fix incorrect readings on the oil pressure gauge in the dash or shut off the annoying red light on the dash. The sending unit is located on the passengers side of the engine block right between the oil filter and the coil packs.
What to do if your oil pressure sensor is faulty?
Clean any residual oil off of the sensor and start the engine. Watch the sensor to see if any oil leaks out. If oil seeps out of the sensor at any point, then the sensor is faulty. Turn off the engine and disconnect the oil pressure sensor’s electrical connector and remove the sensor from the engine using a 1-inch box-end wrench.

Why does my S10 have a low oil pressure light?
If your S10’s sensor has gone bad, it’ll shoot a false low pressure reading to the ECM. One of the first things that people do when they have the low oil pressure light is to change out this sensor to see if that rectifies the problem. Here’s a good article on how to check the oil pressure sensor from itstillruns.
What does the oil pressure switch do on a 1999 S-10?
The oil pressure switch is an integral part in monitoring the oil system’s pressure. The 1999 S-10’s oil pressure switch measures the amount of oil pressure in the engine. The switch then relays the information to the S-10’s oil pressure gauge on the instrument panel.
Can a bad oil pressure sensor cause low oil levels?
Like any other sensor or switch in your engine, eventually the oil pressure sensor will have repair issues that need to be addressed. Failing to recognize the symptoms of a bad oil pressure sensor can lead to low oil levels, which can be very problematic for your engine.
