What does Engine code P0523 mean?
oil pressure sender
What the P0523 code means. This code means that the Powertrain Control Module, or PCM, finds that the engine oil pressure sender/sensor is too high. The cause could be mechanical or electrical. Most of the time, the issues fall into the electrical category.
How does the p0523 engine code work in a car?
In some vehicles, that oil pressure value is then relayed to a gauge in the instrument cluster to show the driver the oil pressure, other times that gauge is not there but there will be a warning light if there is a problem. This specific P0523 engine code is triggered when the PCM sees too high of a value in the engine oil pressure sender/sensor.
How much does it cost to repair a p0523 Chevrolet?
The cost of diagnosing the P0523 CHEVROLET code is 1.0 hour of labor. The auto repair labor rates vary widely across the country, and even within the same city. Most auto repairs shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour. When is the P0523 CHEVROLET code detected? Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
What are the symptoms of a p0523 DTC?
This code is related to these other oil pressure DTCs: P0520, P0521, P0522, and P0524. Symptoms of a P0523 DTC may include: Potential causes of a P0523 code include: High oil pressure (mechanical oil pump fault) High pressure due to obstruction/restriction in oil passage (s) Faulty wiring or connection/connector in the oil pressure sender circuit
What does the p0521 code on the oil pressure sensor mean?
The oil pressure sensor calculates the oil pressure of the vehicle’s engine. This is then communicated to the ECM in the form of a voltage value. The P0521 code is set when the ECM detects the voltage value is either higher or lower than the specified acceptable range of oil pressure.

When is a p0523 signal sent to the PCM?
The P0523 is detected when the signal sent from oil pressure sensor to PCM goes above specifications. The Engine Control Module ( ECM) continuously monitors the engine oil pressure. The Engine Oil Pressure (EOP) Sensor/Switch sends a voltage signal to the ECM when the engine is running.
