They are easy to change. Here is an article on how to test them. Oil Pressure Sensor Testing 1. Test and verify the engine oil pressure. If no or insufficient pressure exits, oil pressure problem exits and gauge and sensor are operational, repair oil pressure problem. 2. Check the appropriate fuse before attempting any other diagnostics. 3. Unplug the sensor electrical hardness. 4. Using an ohmmeter, check continuity between the sensor terminals. 5. With the engine stopped, continuity should not exist. Ø The switch inside the oil pressure sensor opens at (6) psi or less of pressure. 6. With the engine running, continuity should exist. 7. If continuity does not exist as stated, the sensor is faulty.
