Oil pressure gauge

1. locate the oil pressure switch: The oil pressure switch is usually located near the oil filter or on the engine block, close to the oil pressure gauge sender.
2. Check for oil leaks: Look for any visible oil leaks around the oil pressure switch and its connecting hose. If you see any oil leaks, it could indicate a faulty oil pressure switch.
3. Check the oil level: Check the oil level in the engine and look for any signs of a decrease in oil level, which could be a sign of an oil leak.
4. Listen for any unusual noises: If you hear any unusual noises coming from the engine, such as a hissing or whistling sound, it could indicate a leak in the oil pressure switch.
5. Monitor the oil pressure gauge: If the oil pressure gauge is reading low or fluctuating, it could also indicate a problem with the oil pressure switch.

If you suspect that the oil pressure switch is leaking oil, it is best to have the vehicle inspected by a certified mechanic or a Hyundai dealership

Its located behind the distrubutor its pretty easy to get a

the dodge web site shows it. there,
as does the shop manual shows it.

I can think of several things to check. low on oil, oil thinned out ,change oil, oil filter blocked , oil filter relief valve stuck open, oil pressure switch faulty. Best to remove oil pressure switch and fit a oil pressure gauge to get a true reading. If OK just replace the switch.

Check oil if ok then observe, engine noisy? Clanking? If so you need to pull oil pressure switch and take manual reading with oil pressure gauge. If engine is running fine with no irregular noises Probly changing oil pressure switch wouldn't be a bad idea.

The oil pump supplies oil to lubricate your engine. If the oil pump is worn or is not turning, the engine will suffer a loss of oil pressure, which may result in engine damage or engine failure.
The first sign of trouble may be a low oil pressure warning light, a drop in the normal reading on you oil pressure gauge (if your car has one), or the appearance of ticking or clattering sounds from your engine.
As a rule, most engines only need about 10 PSI of oil pressure for every 1,000 RPM of engine speed. Oil pressure will read higher than normal when a cold engine is first started because the oil is thick. Oil pressure will gradually drop as the engine warms up and the oil thins out. So normal oil pressure on a warm engine cruising down the highway is typically 30 PSI up to 45 PSI.
SYMPTOMS OF OIL PUMP TROUBLE
The first thing you should do if any of these symptoms occur is to stop your car, turn off the engine, let it sit for a few minutes, then check the oil level on the dipstick. If the oil level is at or below the ADD line, add a quart of oil to bring the level back up to the full mark. Add as much oil as is needed to raise the level to the full mark. Then restart the engine. If the warning light remains on, or the oil pressure reading does not climb back up to its normal range, or the engine noise does not go away, you may have a bad oil pump.
The other possibilities include a bad oil pressure sending unit, or a problem with the oil pressure warning light circuit or oil pressure gauge.
OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT
If the engine is NOT making any unusual noises and seems to be running normally, and the oil level on the dipstick is FULL, but you are still getting a low oil pressure warning light or low gauge reading, the fault could be a bad oil pressure sending unit.
The oil pressure sending unit is mounted on the engine block. On some applications, there is a spring-loaded pressure-sensitive diaphragm with a switch inside the sending unit. This switch completes the circuit to the low oil pressure warning light if oil pressure drops below a certain threshold. The unit may stop working if the diaphragm inside fails, if the switch is stuck, if the small hole that allows oil to enter the sending unit becomes plugged, if there is a loose, corroded or broken wiring connector at the sending unit, or there is a fault in the wiring circuit between the sending unit and warming light.
On vehicles that have an oil pressure gauge (electronic, not mechanical), the oil pressure sending unit has a small rheostat inside that sends a variable voltage signal to the oil pressure gauge when the diaphragm moves. A worn spot on the rheostat or any of the other problems just described for the simple pressure-type oil pressure switches can cause a problem.
FORD'S FAKE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
On many Ford vehicles that were built from 1980 through the 1990s, the oil pressure sending unit has two switches, a low pressure and a high pressure. These vehicles also have an oil pressure gauge, but the reading on the gauge is not a true indication of real oil pressure. As long as the pressure to the sending unit is between high and low, the gauge will read normal. If oil pressure drops and trips the low pressure switch, the dash gauge will now read low. Or, if oil pressure goes up and trips the high switch inside the sending unit, the dash gauge will read high. Consequently, don't rely on the oil pressure gauge for an accurate reading in these vehicles. It is only a gross indication if the oil pressure is low, normal or high.
OIL GAUGE PROBLEMS
If the engine is NOT making any unusual noises and seems to be running normally, the oil level on the dipstick is FULL, and you have replaced the oil pressure sending unit but are still getting a low oil pressure reading on the dash gauge, the fault could be in the wiring circuit between the sending unit and gauge, or the gauge itself might be bad.
Check the wiring connections on both ends as well as wiring continuity between the sending unit and gauge. If no wiring faults are found, hook up a pressure gauge directly to the oil pressure port on the engine and check oil pressure with the engine running. If the engine-mounted gauge shows normal oil pressure but the dash gauge is reading low, the problem is a bad dash gauge.
On the other hand, if the engine-mounted pressure gauge reads low and you have done all of the above, chances are the oil pump is worn, or it is not picking up enough oil because of a restriction or blockage in the pickup screen in the bottom of the crankcase.
OIL PUMP PICKUP PROBLEMS
The pickup tube has a screen on the end to prevent large chunks of anything bad that ends up in the crankcase from being sucked into the pump. But we are talking BIG chunks of debris, not normal wear particles or carbon or dust or other microscopic-sized abrasive particles that can cause pump wear over time.

perform a master oil pressure test. this is done by removing the oil pressure sending unit and installing a oil pressure gauge. if the reading on the test gauge is ok, the sending unit needs to be replaced. if the pressure reads low on the test gauge, there may be excessive bearing wear or you may have worn valve guides. good luck!

It means the sensor that detects your oil pressure has seen a situation where the oil pressure is too low and engine damage will result. Could be just a bad sensor, but better have it checked with a mechanical gauge to see exactly what the pressure is.

try replacing the oil preasure switch, if that doesnt solve your problem then have your oil preasure tested, if it really doesnt have oil preasure it will cause internal engine damage so start with the switch and then go from there, hope this is helpful.

First thing I'd check is the oil level, coolant level. The check gauges light is illuminating because on of the gauges is below a certain pre-programmed threshold. The light is very similar to the old idiot lights that came on when it was too late. Cars used to have gauges and in the earlly 90's the manufacturers figured out that the majority of owners did'nt even read the owners manuals, let alone know how to read a gauge. So they started putting in idiot lights that would come on when there was a problem, they figured even an idiot could see a red light on and know there was a problem. The only problem was that the pressure switches that turned the lights on were set very low. Take for example an oil pressure switch (OPS). The switch is designed to close and complete a path to ground for a light, the problem is it closes aroung 3psi. Normal oil pressure is around 30, at 3 psi the cam and crank bearings are starving for oil, by the time you see the light on it's too late, the damage has already been done to the engine. So the manufacturers started installing gauges and lights to cover all the bases. So if I had to take a guess, I'd say you have and oil pressure problem. Check the oil, if it's low figure out where it's going, if it's not then you may have a faulty sending unit, confirm this by installing a manual oil pressure gauge in it's place. If the manual gauge shows low oil pressure then there may be some debris/sludge floating around in the oil pan stopping up the pickup screen or it could be a faulty pump.

Until u have a mechanical test gauge hooked up to verify the oil pressure is ok assume it is not a good idea to drive, low oil press will destroy a $4000.00 engine very quickly.
