Oil Pressure Gauge: Description and Operation
NOTE: The following information is intended to be used in conjunction with the electrical diagrams.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The case grounded oil pressure sensor is a variable resistor that connects to circuits 060 and 06. Circuit G60 connects to the oil pressure gauge.
Circuit G6 connects to the oil pressure warning lamp.
Circuit F14 connects to the instrument cluster at the left connector and supplies battery voltage to oil pressure gauge. The gauge uses two coils.
Current passing through the coils creates a magnetic field. Position of the gauge needle is controlled by the amount of current passing through the
coils to ground at the sensor.
