OBDII Oil Pressure Reading

RicksRod · August 24, 2020

Guys,

Should the OBDII produce an oil pressure reading on my 2017 L83 engine? I sure thought so but when I hook up to AutoMeter DashLink 2, I get no oil pressure reading. Does anyone have any ideas on how to confirm if it's the DashLink or if the 2017 E92 ECM does not pass this information to the OBDII. Would seem odd to me if it did not but I truly do not know. If you have any ideas or know of a decent code reader that does display oil pressure for this model of engine it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rick

I think my HP Tuners software reads it on my 2016 but I don't have that channel being logged most of the time.

Could be the dash link not being able to read it.

What does the Dashlink brochure say it will do, is it one of the functions listed?

Figured it out. I have a short somewhere in my primary OBD port. Once I connected to the second port I added both the bluetooth device and my reader displayed the oil pressure reading. I added a second port to run the Bluetooth gauges and must have a bad connection somewhere on OBD one. Just need to take it a part and correct wiring issue.

By the way - this 2017 L83 and 6l80 are setting on my 37 Roadster chassis. The truck was totaled and I purchase engine and tranny for transplant. Also has an LT4 Supercharger setting on top. It runs and is heading to Dyno in a couple of weeks.
