Monitors the oil level to ensure proper fill, includes sealing o-ring.
This oil level sensor mounted to the bottom of the oil pan reads the engine oil level. With age, this sensor can fail and throw a code indicating an engine oil level indication issue on your dash.
Engine Oil Level Sensor
An engine oil level sensor monitors the oil level in the engine's oil pan and sends real-time data to the vehicle's ECU (engine control unit). This information helps ensure the engine has enough oil for proper lubrication. The sensor is often used in modern vehicles as an additional safeguard against low oil levels, which could lead to engine damage.
Engine Oil Level Sensor Failure Symptoms
- Oil Level Warning Light: The most common symptom of a failing oil level sensor is the oil level warning light on the dashboard. This light may come on even if the oil level is correct, indicating a malfunction in the sensor itself
- Inaccurate Oil Level Readings: A faulty sensor may cause incorrect oil level readings, showing the level as full when it’s actually low, or vice versa. This can lead to unnecessary oil changes or leave the engine vulnerable to damage if the oil level is actually too low
