How to tell if oil pressure sensor or oil pump is bad?
The best way to test if your sensor is bad is through the lights on the oil pressure gauge. If the low oil pressure warning light comes on when they engine’s oil levels are normal and your engine is running smoothly and quietly, then you likely have a bad oil pressure sensor.
What does the p0521 code on the oil pressure sensor mean?
The oil pressure sensor calculates the oil pressure of the vehicle’s engine. This is then communicated to the ECM in the form of a voltage value. The P0521 code is set when the ECM detects the voltage value is either higher or lower than the specified acceptable range of oil pressure.
What does the Diagnostic Code p0521 GMC mean?
P0521 GMC Meaning The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) continuously monitors the engine oil pressure. The Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch sends a signal to the PCM when the engine is running. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0521 is detected when the signal sent from the oil pressure sensor to PCM goes out of range.
Why is the oil pressure sensor on my Silverado not working?
While it is possible (and even likely) that the oil pressure sender/sensor is bad, there could also be a problem with the oil pressure. Your Silverado’s oil pressure sensor measures the oil pressure mechanically, and converts that reading into a voltage signal that the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) converts into an oil pressure reading.
When does the ECM set the p0521 code?
The P0521 code is set when the ECM detects the voltage value is either higher or lower than the specified acceptable range of oil pressure. This code can also be set when the engine detects constant fluctuation of the oil pressure value.

What is the oil pressure sensor on a Chevy Silverado?
Hello, I have a 2009 Chevy Silverado with the 6.0. I continually have my check engine light coming on and have taken the truck to two different GM dealers. Same code every time, 521 Oil Pressure. They have changed the oil pressure sensor and filter, checked the oil pressure in the truck telling me Hello everyone, I need help!
The P0521 code is set when the ECM detects the voltage value is either higher or lower than the specified acceptable range of oil pressure. This code can also be set when the engine detects constant fluctuation of the oil pressure value.
