Diagnostic boundary

A diagnostic trouble code reports that a monitored test failed. It does not prove one specific part is bad, and manufacturer logic can add vehicle-specific conditions.

Do not rely only on the dash gauge; verify the sensor circuit and actual oil pressure when readings are implausible.
