Hi everyone,
Is there a way to bypass the oil pressure sensor at the block? Everything that I search for results in vtec oil pressure bypass. Anything for the engine block?

Thanks! Is there any way to bypass it without just taking out the cluster bulb?
will not having the pressure switch plugged into the sensor trigger anything for obd2?

Not sure about OBD2 but I believe the sensor grounds when the pressure is low, so just disconnecting the sensor should stop the light from being on. If its the opposite just ground the wire.
Idk why you would want to get rid of it though. Its can be pretty useful. I replaced my sensor with a higher pressure one so I know if the pressure is below 15 psi, which is a lot more useful than the ~5 psi on the stock sensor.

NO !!! It is not connected to the ECU in any way... it is simply a warning light on the dash to "tell" you when your oil pressure is lower than 7psi. If you don't care about that, you can certainly unplug it and the light will never come on.
