The Oil Pressure Sensor measures the oil pressure in a vehicles engine. Oil pressure sensor can refer to the oil pressure switch or oil pressure Sender. The oil pressure switch is a mechanical switch that is activated via oil pressure. This switch is responsible for turn on and off the low oil indicator.

- Oil pressure light on
- Oil pressure gauge reading incorrect
- Blinking oil pressure light
- Check engine light
