Oil pressure sensor

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 oil pressure sensor is bolted directly onto the oil filter. The oil pressure sensor measures the pressure generated by the oil pump. The oil pressure is measured relative to the ambient pressure.

The signal is sent to the DME control module.
