Causes Causes of the OBD-II code P0523
– Low oil level or motor mechanical fault – Open or short oil level sensor circuit condition – Poor oil level sensor electrical connection – Faulty oil pressure sensor The Error code is generally activated on detection of the following conditions: The P0523 is detected when the signal sent from oil pressure sensor to PCM goes above specifications.
– Low oil level or motor mechanical fault – Open or short oil level sensor circuit condition – Poor oil level sensor electrical connection – Faulty oil pressure sensor The Error code is generally activated on detection of the following conditions: The P0523 is detected when the signal sent from oil pressure sensor to PCM goes above specifications.
Solutions The most likely cause is a faulty oil pressure sensor/switch
