Functional description
The engine oil pressure/temperature sensor measures the absolute pressure of the engine oil and its temperature. The measured values are output as a pulse-width-modulated signal.
The measuring procedure is based on a micromechanical piezoresistive pressure sensor (silicon) which supplies an output signal proportional to the pressure. Temperature measurement is performed by way of a diode.
The sensor measuring range is 0.5 bar to 10.5 bar at permissible temperatures between -40 °C and 160 °C. The sensor is operated with a voltage of 5 V.
