Inspect top of oil pressure "switch" to determine if it is a three (3) terminal switch or a four (4) terminal sensor. (If vehicle is equipped
with a four (4) terminal sensor, sensor replacement is not required.)
^
If three (3) terminals are present (oil pressure switch), proceed to step 4 below.

If four (4) terminals are present (oil pressure sensor), proceed to step 5 below.
4.
Remove switch, examine the three male terminals on switch for corrosion and install new oil pressure sensor, part number 1644131.
5.
Using a good light, closely examine the female terminal ends in the sensor connector for corrosion.
