Disclaimer: the search function on this site is frustrating! I tried searching for c12 oil pressure and it omitted c12 and oil because the words are too short! How are we supposed to search for things with short names?!
Anyway, back to the question at hand. A customer has a Cat C12 in an International and it has no oil pressure according to the gauge in the dash, and the "warn engine" light comes on. (Disclaimer #2, I'm not a mechanic, just an excavator operator hoping to use this truck for moving stumps)
I'm suspicious (read: hopeful) that it's just a wiring issue with the pressure sensor. I have no familiarity with cat engines. Where would the sensor be located? Hopefully I can trace the wiring and find the problem. If it's not a bad connection or sensor, then I guess the "warn engine" light should read "worn engine"
