The oil pressure sensor is a car component located in the engine's lubrication system that measures the oil pressure inside the car's engine. Oil pressure during engine operation is a very important indicator that the driver must monitor. If the engine's moving parts are not lubricated while the engine is running, the parts will fail, and engine repair is the most expensive repair. An oil pressure warning light is located on the dashboard; if it flickers or lights up, the driver must safely stop the car, turn off the engine, and first check the oil level in the engine. If the level is low, oil must be added. If you know where the oil pressure sensor is located on your car, try checking its connection contacts. If that doesn't help, operating the car with the oil pressure warning light on is not allowed. You should use a tow truck or another car to proceed with the engine turned off to an auto service center for diagnostics. We recommend conducting such diagnostics at Certified Auto Repair. A professional mechanic, using specialized equipment (scanners, additional mechanical pressure gauges, and other tools), will determine whether your problem is actually related to the oil pressure sensor or something else. If the problem is with the oil pressure sensor, it is simply replaced. The sensor is not repairable. The service master will quickly and efficiently perform repair work. Delays during repair may only occur due to the peculiarities of your car, for example, the sensor's inaccessibility, which requires additional removal of various covers and shields. It is also important to have the work done at Certified Auto Repair because after replacing the sensor, they perform diagnostics again and compare the readings of the new sensor with the parameters set by the manufacturer. After repair at the workshop, if you encounter any further problems, you can return to the service center and receive free servicing. It is very important to periodically check the operation of the oil pressure sensor, especially initially, and to see if there is any oil leakage from the sensor. The oil pressure sensor plays a critical role in maintaining the functionality of your car's engine.
