Check the cause
Verify actual engine oil pressure using a mechanical gauge or diagnostic software. If the mechanical pressure is actually low (below 0.9 bar at 800 rpm, 1.5 bar at 1300 rpm, or 2.0 bar at 1900 rpm), this indicates an internal engine lubrication issue rather than a sensor fault.
Inspect the wiring harness at separation point X1659 (the connector for the B090 sensor) for breaks, corrosion, or short circuits.
Test the sensor supply and signal voltages on the 4-pin connector (Pin 1: +5.0 VDC supply, Pin 2: Signal, Pin 4: Ground).
Repair steps
Locate the Sensor
The B090 oil pressure sensor is located on the right side of the engine, typically on the bottom left of the oil filter housing. You may need to open the bonnet and remove a metal side panel to access it.
Disconnect the Battery
Always disconnect the battery before servicing engine management sensors.
Remove the Sensor
Disconnect the wiring harness at separation point X1659. Unscrew the faulty B090 sensor from the oil filter housing. Have a rag ready, as a small amount of oil may weep from the port.
Install the New Sensor
Thread the new sensor into the housing. (Do not over-tighten; use moderate torque and an oil-compatible thread sealant if the new sensor does not come pre-coated).
Reconnect and Reassemble
Reconnect the X1659 wiring harness plug and reinstall any metal panels that were removed.
Clear Fault Codes
Connect the SERDIA or FENDIAS diagnostic tool and delete the stored error codes (associated sub-codes for this fault are FC: 00C4, 00C5, 00C6, 00C7).
Test
Start the tractor and verify that the oil pressure warning is gone and that the ECU is registering the correct pressure at idle and high RPM.
