Left lower on engine block.
The oil sensor is on the forward side of the block ,just above the oil filter
Mine is on the back of the engine block.. right above the drive axle , there is one there called crankshaft sensor and then right above it is the oil pressure sensor mine has one wire coming out of it...
Oil pressure is low, oil pressure sensor has failedOil pressure is low, oil pressure sensor has failed
The oil pressure sensor is located on the backside of the engine, under the air filter casi ng and the exhaust manifold. Easiest to change it from under the vehicle. Green in color, easy to see.
This vehicle comes with 3 different engines. You have neglected to tell us which.
if your gauge is showing zero oil pressure (or is intermittant) although you have sufficient oil level, it could be your oil sender/switch which also contains the oil pressure sensor. It is located against the housing your oil filter feeds to.
No, a defective oil pressure sensor will not harm the engine as long as the oil pressure is what it should be. However, how do you know what the pressure is if the sensor is bad. Replace the sensor so that you can receive a warning if the oil pressure drops below what is optimum.
The 1995 Nissan Pathfinder oil pressure sensor can be found next to the oil filter. The oil pressure sensor measures the oil pressure in the engine.

The oil pressure sensor sends a reading to the gauge so you can moniter the engine's oil pressure. No oil pressure means the engine is in big trouble.
The oil pressure sensor is on the front of the engine, near the oil filter.
