Oil Pressure Issue

[Hurricane87]

I got an OBDII message telling me the oil pressure sensor was out, so I replaced it. The code came back last week, and I cleared it.

Now, apparently, the sensor is working, because I got "Low Oil Pressure" on the DIC. I checked the level, and it was low. Immediately threw in a quart.

I have never gotten a "Low Oil Level" message, which is one of the reasons I assume the DoD isn't working. Does this masterpiece not HAVE an oil level sensor, just as it can't be bothered to tell me when the DoD is active, or do I have a dead sensor somewhere? If so, approximately where?

Revised situation--I now have TWO oil pressure sensor codes, 0521 and 0522. Has my non-OEM sensor already taken a ****, or is the problem that (despite buying picks for the specific purpose) I couldn't get the screen out to clean it or change it?

bet its the oil pick up tube o ring failure deal. fails where it bolts to the pump. then sucks air. id stop driving it till you figure it out.

Non OEM sensors are usually never that good.

Non OEM sensors are usually never that good.

ive learned that with quite a few different car makes, aftermarket sensors have a tendency to be this way.

I changed out two of them aftermarket until I finally said fu** it and bought an oem. Been fine since.

It was the O-ring. Thanks for the help!
