Looking for a spec. (it's not in the shop manual I have) for a fixed resistance ( resistor) that you can use to jump the oil pressure sensor harness terminals to check the in-dash gauge. If it works like most such checks it will be something like jumping it with xxx ohms should show yyy psi on the gauge.
I'm not looking to check the oil pressure in the engine; for that you use a mechanical gauge, I want to see if the dash gauge is in spec
Thanks
