Volvo All Engines (2010 Emissions) Fault Code: SPN 100 FMI 17 PID: 100 Engine Oil Pressure – Least Severe Level

The Engine Oil Pressure Sensor is used to detect engine lubrication system failures. The sensor consists of a pressure sensitive diaphragm and amplifier. Engine oil pressure causes the sensor’s diaphragm to deflect and produce an electrical signal proportional to the pressure. The diaphragm deflection signal is amplified in the sensor. The sensor’s signal is monitored by the Engine Control Module (ECM). The engine control module (ECM) will set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and derate the engine to avoid engine damage if the sensor signal is not within predetermined limits, or the signal is not rational.

Conditions for diagnostic trouble code (DTC):
1) The voltage at pin EB:11 is less than 0.3?V

Observable symptoms
1) The engine oil pressure (EOP) gauge shows 0 when the engine is running
2) Loss of power

Probable cause
1) Open circuit, Signal wire
2) Open circuit, Supply wire
3) Short circuit to ground, Signal wire
4) Engine oil pressure (EOP) sensor
