Characteristic curve and setpoint values

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The information on oil pressure is transmitted to the engine control unit via a signal line. The signal for evaluation of oil pressure fluctuates depending on the pressure. The measurement range extends from approximately 0.5 to 4.5 volts, corresponding to oil pressures of 0.5 bar (50 kPa) to 10.5 bar (1050 kPa).
