TECHNICAL FEATURES
EOP SENSOR
A conventional EOP switch is an ON/OFF pressure switch, which includes a mechanical contact, that turns ON when the oil
pressure is below a specified value and turns OFF when the pressure is above a specified value.
The EOP sensor includes a piezoelectric device which converts the electronic signals into voltage, which ranges from 0 to 5 V, and
transmits to the ECM. The electronic resistance of the piezoelectric device changes in accordance with the oil pressure, sending a
smaller signal when the oil pressure is low and a larger signal when the oil pressure is high.
