I'm getting a P0523 and a P0521. When looking at live data, PSI reads about 100-120PSI. When you received the code, what was yours reading at?

Mine was reading zero. What does it read when the engine is off?

@@WillsBuilds I didn't think to check while it wasn't running silly me. Just did and reads at 70. I'll go ahead and replace the sending unit.

Yea unfortunately it sounds like that is your issue. Easy fix except for it being $70 haha

Same size special socket as most all the other LS sending units, correct? I'm happy to pay 70 VS parts plus diag fees. Especially around the tight month of December.

I didnt use any special socket, just large deep well. Probably 21mm but I don't remember exactly

Just a deep socket, short extension, and a ratchet

@@WillsBuilds What size socket? NewCapriceForum says 26mm, are they correct? I found it! The J41712 the service manual calls for is actually an expensive 1-1/16" deep-well. 27mm is pretty much the same size.

OIl psi is always supposed to be tested engine fully warmed up at idle in gear to see its lowest reading is. Readings cold mean nothing. dude buy a oil psi gauge using one that doesn't read 0 psi it a total guess you cant just say its 20psi off that a guess at best.

I wasn't worried about exactly how much oil pressure it was making at that moment, only that it did in fact make oil pressure to prove the sensor was bad

@@WillsBuilds if that code was set previously then you didnt prove it was bad all u did was see the psi cold and tested the wires which is fine and replaced the sensor tjat doesnt mean its fixed just means if it sets code again in a week you ruled out the sensor. If aftdr 1 hr drive you stop at a traffic light in gear for a min and oil psi drops below the threshold the pcm will set code again.

When I raced my Caprice and the oil got hot, it displayed the warning when it dropped to around 10-15psi, but didn't set a code. I have since changed to a heavier oil so even hot, it is still in the upper 20s at idle. My 73 Chevy truck idles around 20psi warm and doesn't knock, leak, or burn a drop of oil. It really just comes down to how tight your engine was built and how old it is
