Engine Oil Level Switch

PCM checks engine oil level during engine start-up. If oil level switch indicates oil level is low, PCM will send this information through the serial data to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) to illuminate the "Low Oil Level" warning light.

Oil level is checked once per ignition cycle and also after ignition is turned off to allow oil enough time to drain back into oil pan.
