Best Answer: The oil pressure sensor is actually an electronic transducer which allows more electricity to flow in direct proportion to the pressure applied to a pressure sensitive medium. That electrical signal is translated to a pressure reading on the gauge on the dash of your car. It is mounted on the outside of the engine block and connected by a drilled passage to the pressurize oil gallery ( a fancy name for the main oil passage ) so that the sensor reads the pressure in the gallery directly. If a sensor leaks it will cause oil to drip on the ground but this is a very rare thing.
The oil pressure sending unit controls the oil pressure light or gauge depending on which you car is equipped with. When oil pressure is applied, the switch contacts either shut off the oil light or make the oil pressure gauge active. Basically, the oil pressure sending unit is what sends the oil pressure information to the carâs computer, which then controls the related lights and gauges.
