Affected components
- Engine oil pressure sensor
- Engine oil pump
- Vvt actuator
Common causes
- High likelihood: Engine oil level low
- Medium likelihood: Oil pump worn or pressure relief stuck open
Diagnostic notes
- The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
- Reduced-power or limp mode may occur
