  Q: How to service and repair the Oil Pressure Switch on Chevrolet Suburban 1500?

  A:

  Service and repair operations on the oil pressure sensor begin by removing the engine sight shield. The cleaning of the sensor's surrounding area before sensor removal helps stop foreign objects from entering the engine compartment. First disconnect the sensor's electrical connection then use the Oil Pressure Sensor Socket (J41712) or equivalent tool to remove the pressure sensor from its location. Apply GM P/N 12346004 sealant or equivalent to the sensor threads before using the Oil Pressure Sensor Socket (J41712) or equivalent tool to tighten the sensor to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.). Reinstall the engine sight shield then put back the oil pressure sensor electrical connector. Inspection of the engine oil level and any subsequent adjustment is necessary.
