Have a 2012 Honda Odyssey which began throwing a Check Engine Light and Check Oil Light. My scanner revealed code P0522 which I took to be an oil sensor.
Sooooo.it is my wife’s van. Took it to dealer and they came back with a bad oil Pressure SWITCH at $302.00 ( $71 part/rest labor) . Then the next morning they text her ohhhh…after running further diagnostics it looks like it is the oils sending unit and that is $505 ( labor $210.00/unit $293/O ring $1.75).
So I said no… grab the car and let’s regroup… which she did).
So it says on the diagnostic report I looked at ROCKER ARM OIL PRSSURE SENSOR A.
So basically the sending unit is the same as the oil “sensor” (which we thought all along).
Is this something I can do myself? I have fixed a fair amount of things over the years on cars and want to do it myself if possible.
Another possible and more ominous cause could be engine wear or a partially plugged oil passage all depending upon vehicle mileage and oil change regimen.
Granted, dealer parts over the counter are generally higher but 2 to 3 hundred sounds a bit steepish. Either one maybe 30 to 50 at the local parts house. Guessing at the cost is all. No reason this can’t be a DIY job IMO.
Hey thanks for the replies appreciate it!. I thought the Odyssey had 3 sensors from the little I have been able to find on it. Since it threw code P0522 this might indicate the one below the car near the oil filter ( Of course couldn’t be up top…)
