Ford Ecosport: Engine System - General Information / General Procedures - Oil Pressure Test

1. NOTE: It is necessary to disconnect the battery to avoid setting any DTCs that could cause the PCM to command the oil pressure to other than what should be observed from a correctly operating system during the oil pressure test.

   Disconnect the battery ground cable.
   For additional information, refer to: Battery Disconnect and Connect (414-01) .

1. Remove the EOP sensor. Refer to the appropriate 303-14 Electronic Engine Controls section.
