Default Low Oil Pressure Warning

Hello,

This is my first post. I had a low oil pressure warning on my 07 equinox. it started after going over a large bump. The engine doesn't seem low on oil and seems to run fine (no chugging or hard starts). I'm wondering if it's a faulty oil pressure sensor - but I can't find any videos or instructions on where to find the sensor or how to get it out. Is the oil pressure sensor in the same location as the rest of the 05-09 GM trucks/SUVs?

Regardless of if this fixes the problem, I am curious to find out where this oil pressure sensor is located on my 07 Equinox.
Thanks for the help

It's located in the middle of the engine block, between the starter and the left (front) exhaust manifold. Space is a bit tight there, but you should be able to remove the oil pressure switch without removing anything else.

Here's a video to show you. This is a 2005 Equinox w/3.4L V6, but all 2005-2009 models with the 3.4L V6 would be the same.

That YouTube video was the only thing I could find as well. Is this underneath the vehicle? I wish the vid was more stable and wide angle.

great! ​​​​​I found it and got the module replaced. Pretty easy fix when all said and done, but required a few special tools and knowing where to look

Default 2016 equinox oil pressure issues

2016 equinox awd issues 50,000 miles. The emission system has moisture in in and when it gets really cold outside, the moisture freezes and the engine cnt vent the crankcase pressure and it blows out the rear main seal. At the shop now hope it’s covered under warranty.
