TURBOCHARGER GP 1355392 - Caterpillar

The ECM automatically performs the following functions for low engine oil pressure:
Warning
ShutdownThe strategy is based on a map of the engine oil pressure versus the engine rpm. For engines that are rated up to 1300 rpm, see Illustration 1. For engines that are rated at 1301 rpm and above, see Illustration 2. The default settings that are programmed at the factory are listed in Table 1.

To deactivate the warning, the engine oil pressure must rise above the hysteresis that is set in the map.If the engine oil pressure is below the minimum pressure for nine seconds, a shutdown will occur.The map cannot be reprogrammed.Oil Pressure Input Circuit
Oil pressure is monitored in the oil gallery by the oil pressure sensor which is located on the front left corner of the engine. The 5.0 0.5 VDC operating voltage for this sensor is supplied by the ECM. The output of the oil pressure sensor is a 0.14 to 4.42 volts DC signal. The voltage is dependent upon the oil pressure. The voltage is interpreted by the ECM as oil pressure.
