Engine Oil Level Sensor
The engine oil level sensor is comprised of a magnetic reed
switch (1) contained within the sensor, a float (2) and a
magnetic pin (3). The magnetic reed switch is a normally
open switch, which closes when a magnet field is present.
W hen the engine oil level is within specifications, the pin on
the inside of the float is pushed up against the reed switch
(view A). W hen the oil level drops and the magnetic pin
moves away from the reed switch (view B), the switch
contacts opens.
The ECM provides a 5 V reference signal to the engine oil
temperature sensor and monitors the return signal. The
ECM only monitors the oil level signal prior to engine start-
up, and once the engine is cranking, the ECM disregards
the oil level sensor signal.
Figure 6C1-1 – 26
4.11 Engine Oil Pressure Sensor
The engine oil pressure (EOP) sensor measures engine oil
pressure. W hen the EOP sensor signal is below a certain
value, the ECM sends a serial data message to the
powertrain interface module (PIM) requesting the PIM to
turn on the engine oil pressure warning lamp.

6 Functional Checks
6.1 General Information
The items detailed in the following pages are to be used when there is a customer complaint and there are no diagnostic
trouble codes set, or one or more of the Tech 2 data values are not within the typical values. They are also to be used
when instructed from a DTC table. Before using these tables, you should refer to 5 Symptoms Diagnostics in this
Section, which may direct you to using the following functional checks.
The purpose of these tables is to diagnose engine control module (ECM) controlled components or sub-systems that do
not have diagnostic trouble codes assigned to them. Another purpose of these tables is for Technicians who feel
confident that a particular part of the sub-system is not operating properly and wants only to check that particular item
for proper operation without going through lengthy diagnostic procedures.
6.2 Fuel Injector Coil Test
The fuel injector coil test is divided into two parts. Begin by performing the fuel injector coil quick test. Then only perform
the Injector Coil Test – W ith Special Tool J39021 procedure if the quick test determines that there is a faulty fuel injector.

1 This step checks if the engine coolant temperature is within the correct range.
2 This step tests each fuel injector resistance within a specific temperature range.
3 This step determines if all of the fuel injectors are within 3 ohms of each other.
Step Action Value(s) Yes No
