Oil pressure switches and sensors are important components in your Aprilia's engine to monitor oil pressure and detect potential problems early. They are used to inform the rider when the oil pressure is too low and to prevent possible engine damage.
The oil pressure switch is activated when the oil pressure in the engine drops below a certain threshold. This activates a warning light on the motorbike's dashboard to alert the rider to the low oil pressure and prompt them to correct the problem.
Oil pressure monitoring sensors can provide additional information and allow more accurate detection of the oil pressure in the engine. They help the engine management systems optimise the Aprilia's performance and fuel economy by providing real-time data on oil pressure.
