Engine Oil Rifle Pressure 1 Sensor Circuit - Voltage Above Normal or Shorted to High
Source
Circuit Description:
The engine control module (ECM) provides a 5 volt supply to the engine oil pressure sensor on the sensor supply
circuit. The ECM also provides a ground on the sensor return circuit. The engine oil pressure sensor provides a signal
to the ECM on the engine oil pressure sensor signal circuit. This sensor signal voltage changes based on the pressure
in the oil rifle. The ECM will detect a low signal voltage at operating conditions when the oil pressure may be slightly
lower. The ECM will detect a high signal voltage during high engine speeds or operating conditions when the oil
temperature is low.
Component Location:
The engine oil pressure sensor is located in the oil rifle.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active:
• The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE lamp immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.
• A default value for the engine oil pressure reading is used.
Shop Talk:
If the oil pressure sensor shares supply and return wires in the engine harness with other sensors, opens and shorts in
the engine harness can cause multiple fault codes to be active. Before troubleshooting Fault Code 135, check for
multiple faults.
Possible causes of this fault code include:
• Open return circuit in the harness, connectors, or sensor
• A signal circuit shorted to sensor supply or battery voltage.
