Mother loving oil pressure sensor...

[seatown]

08 Yukon oil pressure sensor... I’m sure you guys know the frickin deal here...

I got the wire undone and special socket on there...but I have tried a universal joint, flexible ratchet, extension, etc.. I don’t see how to do this without the manifold coming off...

You shouldn’t need anything other than an extension, maybe a wobble one, and to lay across the top of the engine. Make sure to check for a screen at the bottom of the hole after you get the sensor out. They can get clogged if it has one.

Ditto on the wobble extension; that's what I used on mine.

Man... I used this set up attached each one at a time... got it out and the new one in...

Anddddddd oil gauge still at zero

Where you getting a code (engine light) also?

When mine went bad I also had the check engine light come on with a code stating oil pressure sensor voltage out of range. I had to clear the code and restart the engine before it started showing correct pressure

I'm pretty sure mine started reading correctly after replacing the failed sensor, but the code was still present until I cleared it with via the Torque app.

 

[seatown]

I didn’t try to reset and restart. From everything I saw the gauge should get going again.

But I took it back out to check the filter. Looks clean but I ripped it.

 

[Rocket Man]

Pretty sure the consensus is to leave the screen out anyway.

 

[Rocket Man]

You should try a manual pressure gauge to verify the actual pressure.

@Rocket Man Oh really? Just ran to O’Reilly’s and grab a new one

I think it depends on if you have AFM/DOD if it’s needed. Since you have a new one, there you go. Others should chime in. I’ve never had to replace the sensor on my 08 but if I did, I’d ditch that screen since I don’t have AFM/DOD.

ty for the support ladies... ttyl

So do you think it was the screen or did you need to delete the DTC’s? Either way, it’s awesome you fixed it.

Damn TPMS warning now huh

i replaced my sensor once and have AFM delete. Never had issue without screen well over 50k miles ago.

@Rocket Man haha I have ignored that tire sensor for a long time... don’t like paying shops, can’t ever get good help.

After the new filter, the gauge didn’t correct until deleted the code and restarted. So I think @gooffeyguy had it...

You can install new TPMS sensors yourself if you use the trick of laying the tire on it’s side under the receiver hitch and using your jack to break the bead and push down until you have access to the sensor (at the valve stem) on the inside of the tire. Then it’s just a matter of removing and installing the valve stem/ sensor, filling the tire and then do a relearn. There’s $10-15 TPMS relearn tools on Amazon or EBay that work good. I use ACDelco OEM sensors myself, I trust them to last.

I lay the tire down, lay a 2x6 board on the tire section and just drive onto the board until it breaks the bead.

Yeah no thanks lol. A bit sketch for me.

I just drop the wheel and new sensor off at the mechanic shop 3 blocks from me and they'll install the new sensor for $20. Pick it up later that day
