It appears that my oil pressure sending unit has gone out again on my 04 Titan. The gauge starting reading high a few days ago when I cranked it up. I turned truck off and turned key to ACC and gauge still reads HIGH with truck not even running. I have rechecked it a few times in my garage after truck has been sitting overnight and you turn key to ACC, it goes straight to HIGH. I had this same thing happen back in May 2006 and was replaced at deaslership.
I have a few questions for those that know a lilttle more about this issue.
FIRST-where is this sending located at, so I can take a look at it myself and verify that something hasn't come loose. I did an oil change about 4 days before it the gauge started reading H all the sudden.
SECOND- if the unit is bad, Is it normal for the unit to be failing this often. This current unit has only been on 2 1/2 years and the original was only on about 2 years. Do they fail every 2 years?
THIRD- is this a part that once I locate, I can replace on my own? Do I just remove the old one and replace with new one or is there something I would need to do with resetting the computer with CONSULT unit or anything?
THanks to anyone that can be of assistance.
