Circuit Description The OEM sensor signal is used by the electronic control module (ECM) to monitor the OEM pressure. The OEM pressure is used by the ECM in one of two ways:1. The ECM can shut down the engine based on an OEM pressure input value exceeding or falling below a customer-specified value.2. The ECM can control a device (dual-output driver A and driver B) based on the value of the OEM pressure.A sensor that has failed low can be caused by shorts to ground on the signal wire or an internally grounded (faulty) sensor.
Component Location The location varies with the OEM. Refer to the OEM manual.
Shop Talk The resistance of all pressure sensors varies with the pressure. Refer to the OEM troubleshooting and repair manual for specifications.
