DSB 07 - Oil Sensor Fault.

[Chris Wilson]

Hi all,

         I have a Bellagio that very frequently shows the above fault.

To date it has never amounted to any real fault and once cleared it randomly comes back perhaps twice a week to haunt me, and even if not cleared it can go away on a restart.

I have 5 different brand sensors that I have swapped out over the years and they all give the same readings.

I have also redone the wiring to the sensor and to my mind it is rock solid.

My conclusions to all of this is that the sensor, being a simple binary switch, gets fouled with contaminates in the oil and the appendix that it sits in exacerbates this.

A simple removal and flush with kerosene sees a longer period until the next "Oh my God, its the red Oil Can of Death" catches your eye.

In fact the warning system proves so false I see no real use for it other showing max pressure with DSB 08 Oil Pressure Fault.

 

Thoughts?

Sounds like it's time to install an oil pressure gauge.

There's some discussion here that might help you.

Thanks Marty, what I got out of that link was disconnect the battery and perhaps a cut out switch is in order.

The fault happens at zero pressure so I am not sure that a gauge that measures values above that may be of any use here.

But thanks for the suggestion.

Chris.
