Oil Pressure Gauge: Description and Operation

ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The engine oil pressure gauge indicates whether the engine oil pressure is low or normal.
The oil pressure gauge is controlled by the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room). Low oil pressure causes oil pressure switch terminal 1 to provide ground to IPDM E/R terminal 42. The IPDM E/R then signals the combination meter (unified meter control unit) via CAN communication lines and a low oil pressure indication is displayed by the oil pressure gauge.
