This means that any changes in gallery oil pressure will produce an increase or decrease in the resistance of the oil pressure transducer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PCM monitors these changes in resistance as an input representing oil pressure in real time. If the PCM detects that the signal coming from the engine oil pressure switch is less than the specified value for a certain amount of time, it sets the P0522 code. It will also illuminate the low oil warning light found on the instrument cluster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In earlier applications, the oil pressure sending unit (with a gauge) received voltage from the instrument cluster gauge assembly, and the sending unit would reduce its resistance to ground as the oil pressure increased so that the gauge could electrically reflect oil pressure. On those, you could short the oil sender wire to ground and the oil pressure would read high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then computers became part of the instrument cluster and the oil pressure sending unit became a two or three-wire transducer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>In earlier applications, the oil pressure sending unit (with a gauge) received voltage from the instrument cluster gauge assembly, and the sending unit would reduce its resistance to ground as the oil pressure increased so that the gauge could electrically reflect oil pressure.<\/p><cite><em>&ndash;&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/author\/richardmccuistian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Richard McCuistian, ASE Certified Master Automobile Technician\">Richard McCuistian, ASE Certified Master Automobile Technician<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In most modern systems, the ECM\/PCM and the instrument cluster work together on a network and one of the modules will monitor engine oil pressure and send it to the other module for various different purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read our note about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/p0521-code-engine-oil-pressure-sensorswitch-rangeperformance\/#A_Quick_Note_on_Oil_Pressure_for_Different_OEMs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"oil pressure for different OEMs\">oil pressure for different OEMs<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Possible Causes of the P0522 Code?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are just some of the possible causes of the error code P0522:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/the-top-3-signs-of-a-bad-oil-pressure-sensor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Engine oil pressure sensor failure\">Engine oil pressure sensor failure<\/a><\/li><li>Powertrain control module (PCM) failure (rare)<\/li><li>Faulty instrument cluster<\/li><li>Low oil level, dirty oil<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/car-wiring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Wiring\">Wiring<\/a> issue<\/li><li>Excessive mechanical wear in the engine<\/li><li>Mechanical failure in internal engine components (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/oil-pump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"oil pump\">oil pump<\/a>, oil pressure relief valve, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/symptoms-of-a-bad-timing-chain-tensioner-plus-faq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"timing chain tensioners\">timing chain tensioners<\/a>, etc.)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Common Symptoms of the P0522 Code?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of symptoms that point toward the engine code P0522.
