P0520 means the ECU sees an out-of-range or implausible signal on the oil pressure sensor circuit. Usually a failed sensor or wiring fault, but it can also flag genuinely low oil pressure, which is why you can't just clear it and drive.

P0520 est un code defaut lie a electrique, classe en gravite high. Lorsque le calculateur de ton vehicule detecte cette condition, il enregistre P0520 et allume le voyant moteur.
Si ton vehicule a declenche P0520, tu peux remarquer un ou plusieurs de ces symptomes :
Voici les causes les plus courantes de P0520 :
Non, regle ca immediatement. The ECU can't tell if you have real oil pressure or not. If the pressure actually is low and the sensor is dead, you can wipe bearings in minutes. Check the dipstick and confirm pressure with a mechanical gauge before driving.

5.3L V8 (LC9/LMG) sensor sits under the intake manifold at the rear of the valley. Covered by GM TSB PIP4653 and a well-known AFM-related failure pattern. Intake removal is required.

5.4L 3V Triton uses a simple pressure switch, not a variable sensor, so the dash gauge is a dummy that parks mid-scale once the switch closes. P0520 almost always means the switch failed open or its pigtail is cooked.

2.0 TSI (EA888 Gen2/Gen3) uses a two-stage oil pressure system with a low-pressure switch (F22) and a high-pressure sensor (F378) on the oil filter housing. Confirm which sensor VCDS/ODIS is pointing at before ordering parts.

N20 and B48 use an oil level/condition sensor (QLT) bolted to the pan that also reports pressure to the DME. No physical dipstick, so verify actual pressure at the head takeoff with a mechanical gauge before spending money.

Ces codes apparaissent souvent avec P0520 ou indiquent des problemes connexes :
Only after you've confirmed real oil pressure with a mechanical gauge. Clear it while pressure is actually low and you're rolling the dice on rod bearings.
Three usual suspects: wrong viscosity (5W-30 in a spec 0W-20 engine reads odd at cold start), a defective filter with a stuck bypass, or the sensor connector got bumped loose. Recheck the connector first, it's free.
Usually yes. The GM 5.3L LC9 sensor is famous for cracking and weeping oil into the connector, which then shorts the signal wire. If yours is wet, replace it whether it's throwing the code yet or not.
15 minutes on a Ford 5.4L switch. Two to three hours on a GM LS truck engine because the intake manifold has to come off. Budget accordingly.
Yes. Sub-11V cranking voltage and corroded engine-to-body grounds cause implausible sensor readings across the board. Load-test the battery and clean the grounds before chasing wires.
An oil leak is not one repair. A valve cover gasket is $200 to $600 and a rear main seal is $1,000 to $2,000, and only the source decides which one you have.
Your check engine light just came on. Can you keep driving? It depends on whether the light is steady or flashing, and how the car actually feels.
A flashing check engine light is not the same as a steady one. It almost always means an active misfire that can wreck your catalytic converter in minutes.
An unfamiliar light just appeared on your dashboard and you have no idea what it means. Here is how to read every symbol by colour and which ones mean stop now.
