Warning Lamp For Low Oil Pressure (Only Applies To Versions With Oil Pressure Sensor)

The oil pressure sensor is connected to the engine control module (ECM) (4/46). The engine control module (ECM) transmits the oil pressure signal onwards via the high speed section of the control area network (CAN). The central electronic module (CEM) (4/56) receives the signal and generates a corresponding signal on the low speed section of the control area network (CAN). The driver information module (DIM) (5/1) receives the signal. If the oil pressure is low, the driver information module (DIM) lights a red warning lamp to warn the driver. Explanatory information is also displayed as a text string.

HINT: In vehicles with an oil level sensor, the general warning lamp comes on and a text message appears when the oil level is too low.
