Bear Auto Repair and Transmission Repair

Your vehicle's motor relies on the engine oil to function efficiently. That means that there must be a controlled level of oil pressure. Vehicles feature oil pressure sensors that monitor oil levels and pressure in the engine. Therefore, it is critical to understand what the oil sensor is, how it works, and its signs of failure. Having that knowledge is crucial because you can detect issues early enough for timely repairs. How an Oil Pressure Sensor Works As mentioned earlier, the primary function of the oil pressure sensor is to track the pressure of oil in the engine and transmit the resulting data to the oil pressure gauge. The oil pressure system has an electronic control unit that collects data from the sensor and sends it to the gauge. If there is a significantly low oil pressure level, the system will trigger the oil pressure warning light. Signs and Symptoms of a Bad Oil Pressure Sensor Like the engine speed sensor or the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor, the oil ... read more
