A typical diagnosis is an Engine Oil Pressure Switch/Sensor open short to ground.
Section 27.4.1
Open Short to Ground Check
Check as follows:
- Disconnect the Engine Oil Pressure Switch/Sensor/Sensor. See Figure
"Engine Oil Pressure Switch/Sensor"
.

Figure 1. Engine Oil Pressure Switch/Sensor
- Disconnect the 120–pin MCM connector.
- Measure the resistance between pins 1 and 2 of the Engine Oil Pressure Switch/Sensor.
- If the resistance is greater than 5Ω, go to step 4 .
- If the resistance is less than 5Ω, repair the short between wires 54 and 55 of the 120–pin MCM connector. Refer to "27.4.1.1 Verify Repairs" .
- Measure the resistance between pins 1 of the Engine Oil Pressure Switch/Sensor harness connector and ground.
- If the resistance is greater than 5Ω, go to step 5 .
- If the resistance is less than 5Ω, repair the short circuit between pin 1 of the Engine Oil Pressure Switch/Sensor harness connector and chassis ground. Refer to "27.4.1.1 Verify Repairs" .
- Measure the resistance between pin 2 of the Engine Oil Pressure Switch/Sensor harness connector and ground.
- If the resistance is greater than 5 Ω, replace the switch. Refer to "27.4.1.1 Verify Repairs" .
- If the resistance is less than 5 Ω, repair the short between pin 2 of the Engine Oil Pressure Switch/Sensor harness connector and ground. Refer to "27.4.1.1 Verify Repairs" .
Section 27.4.1.1
Verify Repairs
Verify repairs as follows:
- Turn ignition OFF.
- Reconnect any electrical connections that were disconnected to perform the diagnosis.
- Clear codes with DDDL 7.0 or latest version.
- Start and bring engine up to operating temperature (over 140°F/60°C).
- Verify operation is satisfactory and no warning lamps illuminate. If warning lamps illuminate, troubleshoot the codes. If assistance is required, call the Detroit Diesel Customer Support Center at 313–592–5800.
