★ Top Answer
The 2014 Chevy Silverado's 4.3 liter engine has an oil pressure sensor situated above the timing cover. This sensor plays a critical role in keeping an eye on lubricant pressures within the engine and will alert the driver through warning lights in case the pressure drops too low. Sometimes, these sensors may fail even when the pressures are optimal. If you notice the "check engine" or "oil" warning lights flashing, it's essential to check the oil levels and monitor how the engine idles. Unusual ticking or grinding noises could indicate a failing oil pump. If the dipstick shows low oil levels, there might be a leak from a disconnected or damaged hose or a faulty gasket seal. The typical cost to replace the sensor in the Silverado ranges between $130 and $150, including parts and labor.
