Help! Can't find the oil sending unit (oil pressure switch) in my 01 Chevy Cavalier?

Help! Can't find the oil sending unit (oil pressure switch) in my 01 Chevy Cavalier?



I have a 2001 Chevy Cavalier (2.2L). Recently my oil light has been coming on when the car comes to a stop, then goes off when I press the gas and accelerate. I have been told the issue is most likely the oil sending unit....but....I can't find it for the life of me. I have a Haynes repair manual but the only mentioning of it is when the engine is out of the car,the engine is in an overhaul and therefor the OSU is not obstructed by anything.



1) Is there an easier way to access to oil sending unit so it can be replaced? 2) Also what is the best wrench for the job?



Any sincere help will be greatly appreciated!!!Help! Can't find the oil sending unit (oil pressure switch) in my 01 Chevy Cavalier?
look on the side of the oil filter for a small plug with two wires coming out of it that should be your OPSHelp! Can't find the oil sending unit (oil pressure switch) in my 01 Chevy Cavalier?
On that motor it is usually near the oil filter. There is a special socket however an oversized cresent wrench can usually get it off.
