oil level sensor
Every once in a while I get an 'oil level sensor' error. Not such a big deal, but the gong is annoying. So the other day I went and had a look....
There is only one wire running to the sensor! In the schematics it is supposed to have 3 wires, one of them a ground, but there is only one wire running to the sensor.
I traced this wire (looked green and yellow to me but maybe it is the blue and yellow one in the schematic) and it goes around the front of the engine block (with the cps) and it looks a little damaged up around there but I cannot find any trace of the other 2 wires... cannot find X1525 anywhere (it's supposed to be around the alternator) and the wire that is there runs directly into the conduit that sits to the left (driver) side of the motor.
How much current is going through these wires? A new sensor costs $200 at PP - even if I buy one (doubtful) I have to find those wires - so I could bypass it (I check the oil anyway) but now I'm not entirely sure what to do, maybe somebody 'bypassed' it already. I want to investigate further... but what can I test or look for?
Thanks for any advice!
