THIS BULLETIN CANCELS AND REPLACES GMC TRUCK BULLETIN 91-6A-157, PUBLISHED IN NOVEMBER 1991. IT WAS REVISED TO
UPDATE PART NUMBER INFORMATION FOR P-TRUCKS AND DIESEL ENGINES. ALL COPIES OF 91-6A-157 SHOULD BE DISCARDED.
On S/T, M/L, C/K, R/V, G, and P vehicles with gages, the oil pressure gage may flutter or show unusually high oil pressure (full scale), because the
internal resistance wire in the sensor may not be properly supported, resulting in an intermittent open condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
Check for normal causes of high oil pressure gage readings (high resistance or open circuit), such as a poor ground path caused by loose sensor
mounting, oil cooler adapter loose, or poor electrical connections. If no cause can be found, replace the oil pressure sensor with the correct new part
number from the chart.
