ford explorer oil pressure gauge problem

2023-04-24

If Ford explorer oil pressure gauge shows that the oil pressure is insufficient. Most of the reasons are due to the lack of engine oil. It may also be because the parts on the car are aging, and the engine oil has leaked, causing the oil pressure to be too low. Prolonged use of engine oil will cause the oil to be too dirty or viscous, which will cause the oil pump to not absorb the oil smoothly. In this case, it is recommended to clean the oil pump directly or replace the oil pump, and then add new oil. The parts on the car will wear out after long-term use, such as the gap between the crankshaft and the large and small tiles, etc. After these parts age, the engine oil will not be able to be sucked normally. In this state, the engine oil will also be damaged. Pressure is too low. The parts used in the car are all precision parts. If there is a problem, you need to go to the 4S shop for inspection. It is impossible to judge whether there is a fault from the appearance. Oil sensor plug, pressure gauge or circuit failure will also lead to low oil pressure. After the car is used for a long time, the electronic components will age. When the electronic components fail, it is recommended to replace them directly. In the process of using the car, we should pay attention to the normal maintenance of the car, so that we can find some potential safety hazards in the car in time.

1. The engine oil storage is too small, resulting in no oil or less oil in the lubrication system, resulting in low oil pressure.

Solution: add oil.

2. The oil is dirty or viscous, so that the oil pump cannot effectively suck in and pump out the oil, resulting in low or no pressure of the oil.

Solution: change the oil.

3. If the oil is thin or the oil becomes thin due to high engine temperature, it will leak from the gaps of the friction pairs of the engine, resulting in low oil pressure.

Solution: change the oil or overhaul the cooling system.

4. Oil leakage from the oil pipe, damage to the oil pump or excessive wear of its parts will lead to reduced or no amount of oil suction and pump out, resulting in low or no oil pressure.

Solution: overhaul.

5. Exceeding the standard gap between the crankshaft and the large and small tiles leads to oil leakage, resulting in low oil pressure.

Solution: overhaul.

6. The spring of the pressure limiting valve or pressure relief valve is too soft, and the hairpin or steel ball damage causes the function of the valve to disappear or weaken, resulting in a decrease in oil pressure.

Solution: replace and overhaul.

7. Low oil pressure caused by oil sensing plug, pressure gauge or circuit failure.

Solution: replace the check.
