The oil pressure switch relays the oil pressure in the engine to the instrument cluster. The switch will illuminate the OIL PRESSURE light if the oil pressure drops below 2psi (13 pa). The switch is usually located on the side of the engine, under the intake manifold on the 2.2L engine and on the side of the intake camshaft housing on the 2.3L/2.4L engine.

Fig. 1: The oil pressure switch is located on the engine block under the intake manifold and is accessible from underneath the vehicle-2.2L engine

Fig. 2: Oil pressure switch location-2.3L/2.4L engine


Other, the low oil level switch activates the OIL light in the instrument cluster when the oil level in the pan goes below a certain level. The switch is mounted on the oil pan.


Hope this helped (remember rated this post).

Does a 1999 caviler have a shut down oil sensor

If you are refering to the oil pressure switch that was used in some of the older GM vehicles that shut the fuel pump off in the event of fuel pressure loss, the answer to your question is NO, a 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier is not equipped with one of these.

No, the sending unit is installed in one of the oil pressure galleys. You will get a small dribble, but nothing drastic.
Good luck.
