Interesting fact. A disconnected oil pressure sensor throws no code.

An interesting fact I just learned that I thought might be useful to others. It turns out the oil pressure sensor on my 2001 S Boxster had been disconnected at some previous point. The shop that discovered this of course reconnected it and the car immediately threw a code for a failed sensor.

The sensor was replaced solving that issue.

Two interesting things therefore, unlike almost every other sensor on the Boxster there is no open circuit detection code for the oil pressure sensor. That is a fact you may want to squirrel away for another day. Secondly I can find no pressure reading from this now working sensor in the Duratech software I have. That explains why I did not notice the reading was absent even without a code. Odd since this would be a very useful thing to know in some cases. Am I missing something?

Just FYI

Philip
