2007-2014 3.5L Ford Edge Low Engine Oil Pressure Warning Fix/Sensor Replacement 

My 2011 Ford Edge is working again after having flashed “LOW Engine Oil Pressure”, showing check engine light, lost power steering, then completely shut off. It looks like this video accurately identified the problem, though I was able to accomplish the task more easily by accessing the pressure sensor from beneath the car. This required an extension on the wrench in addition to the universal elbow. The powerful light I purchased was also helpful to see by. After starting the vehicle and having it die once more, I tightened the new sensor to ensure its proper sitting and reset the system by detaching the negative (black) terminal on the battery, waiting a while, and reconnecting it before hopping back in and starting it again (always start and end with black; do not touch both end at same time). At this point it has remained running for a promising amount of time and I thank God that I came across this resource and broke down a mile away from an AutoZone.

Good video I appreciate you doing it. Getting the electrical connector off the old sensor was tough doing it blind but I was surprised that it eventually came off no problem. Also getting the right combination of sockets and extensions to work took me a while. After getting the old sensor out a fair amount of oil dripped on the ground so I thought I should make sure to put the new sensor in good and tight. Definitely went beyond just snugging it so hope I didn’t crack the case. No oil leaking from the case so far. Thanks again.

The sensor requires 21mm deep socket. We measured the sensor with calipers and indeed it is 21mm. A 6 point 22mm would probably catch it but a 12 point 22mm will not. DeVin probably used a 6 point 22mm. Good luck.

great video very helpful Job done in about 15 minutes Thanks for the information

Thx man super helpful

thanks a lot very informational

Thanks for sharing 😊

Thanks! This helped, hopefully that pesky message stays away! It has so far. 🤞🏻

Awesome

I had to use a 21 mm for my 2013. Not a 22mm.

Did you say hand tightened the oil pressure sensor shouldn't you tighten it backup with the socket wrench?

What symptoms did your car have at the time of 'low engine oil pressure"?

Is it the oil pressure sensor? That you replaced.

Do you the PN of the sensor?

Anyone try replacing it from underneath?

Just a thought, because your method looks much better than others on YT..... Saying what you did AFTER you did it is really a huge letdown for those of us who might follow your guidance.... How you snake the ratchet & deep socket over the sensor, for example, is pretty important to the repair process.... Same with disconnecting the upper O2 sensor that you mentioned.... Side note, the other vixeos on this topic refer to a 21mm deep socket, you said you used a 22mm socket.... Thank you for your sharing this.... I have a new sensor on order tho usps has it delayed up north.....

I get this error most times when driving

I've replaced this and mine is coming on only at idle. any suggestions? how can i check the oil pressure? I replaced the radiator fans too and it helped for a month or so. then started again and it's worse now. every red light it comes on.

Liar!! You can’t remove the shield without unplugging the cord? 😢
