FIX (P0520 oil pressure sensor) dodge caravan, chrysler town and country (3.2, 3.6 engine) location

Everything‘s got a trick, getting that sensor out is no exception. There’s some specialty tools that’ll make the job easier but it’s possible to get it out with a normal 27 mm deep socket. What do you know where it’s at it’s pretty tight but it’s possible to get out without removing the intake manifold. In the video we go through The process of removing it and putting it back in

I just did mine and it only took me about 20 minutes with the right tools, no need to take anything apart. Thanks for the video

Great. Never would've had the confidence without this video.

Thanks for this vid. Just had to do it on my truck so I happened to have the socket. I also spent the extra $10 for the OEM rounded version. Getting it out took 30 secs. Getting it back in however...UGH.

[@murraymetcalf-CA]

I was able to change mine out with a regular/thin 1 1/16" deep socket + a 6" extension. Not much room to work, but it was possible.

nice to know this can be done on tranverse engines without pulling the intake. not possible on RWD cars/trucks

Could someone please answer me, if this will work on a 2013 dodge grand caravan? Auto places are quoting me 800 dollars since it's got the deluxe engine? Is this correct?

Telling me isn't because they have to replace the entire housing and not just the sensor

I changed mines three times nothing change. No code on vehicle but when I use my Innova 3100 RS code pops up P06DE. Still seem to fix this... help help lol

[@michaelsolis4207]

When taking out the oil pressure sensor would it be necessary to take off the upper and lower manifold to get to the oil pressure sensor or do you just need to takeoff one of the manifold I am going to replace the gaskets to that

[@kklove4336]

Could it be my oil sensor or my oil pressure pump that makes my oil light ding

[@patriciajohnson9148]

How long do it take to replace it

[@Mr2000toky]

[@4SquirrelsInATrenchcoat]

Question. Would an oil engine pressure switch stuck on "off" cause my van to not accelerate properly? I just bought a 2016 Dodge Grand caravan and the damn thing won't GO, it insists on accelerating at snail's and that's so dangerous. I thought it was a throttle position sensor but the code that was thrown was for the oil engine pressure switch.

[@donnyjones24]

Any update? I'm having the same issue on a 2017

[@hoppskippity]

Same issue, 2016 GC. only getting oil temp codes. I changed out the oil cooler with a metal one. It had cheap sensors and started doing this after that change. Won't accelerate when going hwy speeds only. Stops at 4k rpm every time.

[@kaptincrazy]

excellent VID!!

[@LubaLuba1]

Hey got all the tools do I need to take the battery out or any hoses?? I will do this tomorrow morning.

[@lance55854]

I do have a code that says I need to replace this sensor. I'm curious about the symptoms of a bad sensor. My car has a very hard time starting. HOWEVER, ONCE IT HAS WARMED UP IT STARTS WITHOUT AN ISSUE. Could the sensor give me starting problems?

[@livefree6878]

I definitely do not like throwing parts at a problem. We got the 520 error code, by the time I got there my buddy had the sensor already purchased. At that point we just put it in because it was the easiest thing to do. In our case it absolutely solved the problem. I can’t remember it was hard to start when it was cold or not. I’d have to look up the diagnostic test for the sensor.

[@lance55854]

​@@livefree6878 Thank you

Great FAAAKING video!! Good idea backing camera away to find! Now just need dig through my tools & find that socket 🤬🤬

[@ThadmanKane]

Replacing the cooler and sensor twice did not get rid of this code. Oil pump?

[@scientist100]

check wiring to make sure it is not creating resistance. Also to keep in mind that, has it failed completely or random?

[@Hectorglz18]

I took battery off for extra space also not sure it's related but van wouldn't start turned over fine but no start not even attempt thought it could be fuel related but since it was throwing code for this switch I went ahead and changed it thinking maybe and it fired up after hope it helps if someone is having similar issue ill update/edit if it's unrelated

Did not show how to get to it very well nor show it being taken out step by step.this video was not helpful at all

[@kevinoverbeck4250]

Thanks for the video!!! How can you tell if you have the 'updated' sensor? They all look the same and Im pretty sure the parts sellers wont volunteer they are selling the old one.

[@Theadamsfamily2000]

We are replacing ours now. You only have the updated version if it has been replaced before. Now it's so tight in there, the clamp and hose are in the way, and you can't get the bigger socket to fit over the sensor. A 20 minute job has turned into an all day, what-do-we-do job.

[@mynameismerrill]

This is perfect! I think I have a slight leak in the manifold. A pool of about a quarter inch deep of either motor oil or coolant, maybe both. Is there a trick to removing it without significantly more work?

[@DapimpBDSD]

The manifold is held down by 4 10mm nuts (2 in front by coolant tube, 2 in rear) And 8 or so 8mm screws. After that, disconnect intake tube and and hoses and electrical connectors and it should wiggle off.

[@jeffallen1342]

This project can take 5 minutes or 5 hours. You know what needs to be done. With all the wires and hoses in the way and such a tiny space to try to work in, you are probably better off letting a mechanic deal with this headache. Another solution is use a 1 inch peice of electric tape to cover the check engine light is a better fix.

[@nawnaw1749]

Yep, mine has a rubber hose with the metal on it touching the sensor, so no way to get the socket in to get it out.
