2013 Dart SRT - Oil Pressure Issue

175 Views 5 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  DoreenF
I've read various oil pressure issues on here. My son's dart has had a variety of issues. We replaced the catalytic convertor, something to fix the oil getting into the spark plugs, the oil pressure sensor, temp sensor, camshaft sensor, heads, and some other gaskets (used OEM parts). After all that has been done, the oil pressure sensor is till coming on. We had the oil pressure tested and that was fine. The mechanic was going to research this to see if it's a wiring issue or another sensor. Has anyone else ran into this issue where everything looks fine, pressure test is fine, but the light keeps coming on?

Just to clarify, the light comes on when the car gets hot.

On the 2.0, the oil pressure sensor is on the back of the head not the block where you would expect it to be. The sensor on the block is the oil temp sensor. Make sure you are replacing the correct sensor. You almost have to find it by feel. If you are sure you are replacing the correct sensor on the head, then check continuity of the wires.

We replaced the one that was on the passenger side, when looking at the vehicle, on the left side towards the back. Is that the one you are referring to?

Yes, passenger side rear head, just below the valve cover.

That's the one we replaced first with a part from AutoZone, then a OEM from Dodge.
