The gauge cluster gets its information from the PCM (computer) It is a kind of fancy idiot light. It basically gives you readings based on signals that are in increments. None - low - medium - high etc. It cannot be considered an accurate gauge. It will tell you if you are without oil pressure and will tell you if it is higher or lower at any given point of driving.
What else can I help you with?
How do you check oil pressure on a 94 Honda accord?
Somewhere in the side of the motor is a sensor called the oil pressure sensor. Unscrew that sensor and screw in the line for reading the oil pressure. Start the motor up and get your reading. Compare it to specs.
Would a bad fuel pressure sensor give a negative pressure reading?
NO it will not.
Where is the coolant fan sensor on a 1995 Chrysler Concorde?
You don't have one. The fan is controlled by the PCM. It gets its information from the A/C pressure switch and a sensor right behind the thermostat. The temperature guage gets it's reading the same way, so if the guage is reading ok, the sensor is good.
What is the difference between pressure sensor and temp sensor?
One monitors pressure and the other monitors temperature.
Where is the oil temperature sensor located on the 91 Acura Legend?
The 1991 Acura Legend does not have an oil temperature sensor. It does have an oil pressure sensor. The oil pressure sensor will be located on the left-hand side of the engine.
What if the external temperature is not reading?
You need to get the temperature sensor repaired or, more likely, replaced.
What could cause an intermittent overheat reading on the dash temperature gauge if coolant temperature sensor and the thermostat are new and the water pump and radiator appear to be fine?
Head gasket. Do block test for gases in coolant
Why does the temperature reading have an OC inplace of the temperature?
The "OC" likely means that the temperature sensor is functioning but the reading is not detected or is out of range. This could be due to a faulty sensor, poor connection, or environmental factors affecting the sensor's ability to accurately measure temperature. It is advisable to troubleshoot the sensor or seek professional help to fix the issue.
How do you measure static temperature?
Static temperature can be measured using a temperature sensor such as a thermometer or thermocouple. The sensor is placed in the area where the temperature needs to be measured and it provides a reading of the static temperature.
Purpose of an oil pressure sensor?
The oil pressure sensor sends a reading to the gauge so you can moniter the engine's oil pressure. No oil pressure means the engine is in big trouble.
The steps for troubleshooting a faulty caterpillar 3176 oil pressure sensor?
You can troubleshoot a faulty Caterpillar 3176 oil pressure sensor by replacing it with a new sensor. The new sensor should give you an accurate oil pressure reading.
Is it water temp sensor and oil press sensor same?
No bro, water temp sensor is mostly use out of copper or aluminum where they get heated and sends the temperature to an electronic unit, oil press sensor is a sensor having a ball joint and a unit inside to monitor the amount of pressure. when more pressure produce the ball joint will move to a certain level depending on the pressure, and this readings will send to a electronic reading such as gauges
