WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Dodge Ram Wagon, 2002 Dodge Ram Van, 2001 Dodge Ram Wagon, and 2001 Dodge Ram Van. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Possible Causes:
- Instrument Cluster
- Instrument Cluster Oil Pressure Gauge Inoperative
Testing
- Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, attempt to communicate with Electro-Mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC). If scan tool communicates with EMIC, go to next step. If scan tool does not communicate with EMIC, perform NO RESPONSE FROM INSTRUMENT CLUSTER test under COMMUNICATIONS.
- Turn ignition off. Push and hold trip/odometer reset button while turning ignition switch to RUN position. Release trip/odometer reset button to start self-test. Observe oil pressure gauge. Oil pressure gauge should reach specified calibration points. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CALIBRATION POINTS table under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If oil pressure gauge reaches specified calibration points, perform appropriate test(s) in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. If oil pressure gauge does not reach specified calibration points, replace EMIC. See ELECTRO-MECHANICAL INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
