OIL PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT
CUMMINS
FAULT CODE: 135

PID: P100
SPN: 100
FMI: 3
Oil Pressure Sensor Circuit
DESCRIPTION
The oil pressure sensor is used by the electronic control module
(ECM) to monitor the lubricating oil pressure. The ECM monitors
the voltage on the signal pin and converts this to a pressure value.
The oil pressure value is used by the ECM for the engine protection
system.
- If Fault Code 143 or 415 is not present, the problem is not
related to the engine lubrication system.
- Diagnostic tool can be used to monitor the oil pressure signal
voltage going into the ECM.
COMPONENT LOCATION
The oil pressure sensor is located on the engine block, below and
to the right of the ECM.

TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
Step 1A) Turn key switch ON and read the fault codes using the diagnostic tool.
Fault Codes 352 and 386 inactive?
Yes - Go to 2A No - Possible sensor failure, a short circuit to ground

in the sensor +5-VDC common supply, or a short
circuit from pin to pin
Go to Fault Code 352
Step 2A) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the oil pressure sensor. Inspect the
oil pressure sensor and the engine harness connector pins for the following:
• Bent or broken pins
• Pushed back or expanded pins
• Corroded pins
• Moisture in or on the connector
• Missing or damaged seals
No damaged pins?
Yes - Go to 2B No - Repair or replace the oil pressure sensor or the

engine harness, whichever has damaged pins
Go to 4A
Step 2B) Turn key switch ON and disconnect the engine harness from the oil pressure sensor. Install oil
pressure sensor breakout cable, Part Number 3824775. Check the oil pressure sensor supply voltage.
Measure the voltage from pin A to pin B on the harness side of the oil pressure sensor connector.
NOTE: Pressure sensor breakout cable kit, Part Number 3824775 of kit 3824773, is available to assist with
this step.
(+)4.75 to 5.25 VDC?
Yes - Go to 2C No - Go to 3A
Copywrite 2017
Step 2C) Turn key switch ON; engine not running. Install oil pressure sensor breakout cable, Part Number
3824775. Check the oil pressure sensor signal voltage. Measure the voltage from pin C to pin B of the
breakout cable.
(+)0.40 to 0.60 VDC?
Yes - Go to 3A No - Replace the oil pressure sensor

Go to 4A
Step 3A) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the ECM. Inspect the engine
harness and the ECM connector pins for the following:
• Bent or broken pins
• Pushed back or expanded pins
• Corroded pins
• Moisture in or on the connector,
• Missing or damaged seals.
No damaged pins?
Yes - Go to 3B No - Repair or replace the engine harness or ECM,

whichever has the damaged pins
Go to 4A
Step 3B) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the oil pressure sensor. Disconnect
the engine harness from the ECM. Check for an open circuit. Measure the resistance from pin 33 of the
engine harness connector to pin C on the harness side of the oil pressure sensor connector. Measure the
resistance from pin 10 to pin A on the side harness side of the harness side of the oil pressure sensor
connector. Measure the resistance from pin 19 of the engine harness connector to pin B on the harness
side of the oil pressure sensor connector.

Less than 10 ohms?
Yes - Go to 3C No - Replace the engine harness

Go to 4A
Step 3C) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the oil pressure sensor. Disconnect
the engine harness from the ECM. Check for a short circuit to ground. Measure the resistance from pin 33 of
the engine harness connector to engine block ground. Measure the resistance from pin 10 of the engine
harness connector to engine block ground. Measure the resistance from pin 19 of the engine harness
connector to engine block ground.
More than 100k ohms?
Yes - Go to 3D No - Replace the engine harness

Go to 4A
Step 3D) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the ECM. Disconnect the engine
harness from the oil pressure sensor. Check for a short circuit from pin to pin. Measure the resistance from
pin 33 of the engine harness connector to all other pins in the engine harness connector.

More than 100k ohms?
Yes - Replace the ECM No - Replace the engine harness

Go to 4A Go to 4A
Step 4A) Connect all components and turn key switch ON. Disable the fault code. Start the engine, and let
idle for 1 minute. Verify that Fault Code 135 is inactive and did not reoccur. Turn key switch to the ON
position.
Fault Code 135 inactive?
Yes - Go to 4B No - Return to the troubleshooting steps or contact

local Cummins Authorized Repair Location if all the
steps have been completed and checked again
Go to 1A
Step 4B) Connect all components and turn key switch ON. Clear the inactive fault codes using the
diagnostic tool.
All fault codes cleared?
Yes - Repair is complete No - Troubleshoot any remaining active fault codes

with appropriate troubleshooting steps.
