Default Oil pressure

Does anyone know what sensors (if any) control oil pressure on a b18c engine. Or is the oil pressure control done in the pump ? I have a problem with my car . The oil light wont go off and its building no oil pressure at all. Thanks in advance

The oil pump is on the crank, so as the car revs, then the oil pressure should go up. If you are using a gauge, then it could be the gauge is either hooked up wrong or broken.

The pressure is controled by the pump and rpm but if ur light is on and u have no pressure on a gauge then ur pump went out or u have a major internal oil leak, if u have oil in the engine that is too. If u r just going by ur oil light then make sure the engine is full of oil and if it is then ur OP sending unit maybe faulty or unplugged.
