The oil pressure switch relays the oil pressure in the engine to the
instrument cluster. The switch will illuminate the
OIL PRESSURE
light if the oil pressure drops below 2psi (13 pa). The switch
is usually located on the side of the engine, under the intake manifold
on the 2.2L engine and on the side of the intake camshaft housing on
the 2.3L/2.4L engine.
Fig. 1: The oil pressure switch is located on the engine block
under the intake manifold and is accessible from underneath the
vehicle-2.2L engine

OIL
light in the instrument cluster when the oil level in the pan
goes below a certain level. The switch is mounted on the oil pan.
