On almost all cars any sensor unplugged can turn on the check engine light.
P0520 Code Engine Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch Circuit Malfunction
yes
Check your gas cap. If the tank does not build pressure, it trips a sensor and the check engine light will come on. The gas smell is the fumes that should have created the pressure.
Replacing the water pump will not cause the check engine light to come on. Either it is a coincidence or you have accidentally disconnected a wire or damaged a sensor somehow.
Oil Pressure Sensor Testing 1. Test and verify the engine oil pressure. If no or insufficient pressure exits, oil pressure problem exits and gauge and sensor are operational, repair oil pressure problem. 2. Check the appropriate fuse before attempting any other diagnostics. 3. Unplug the sensor electrical hardness. 4. Using an ohmmeter, check continuity between the sensor terminals. 5. With the engine stopped, continuity should not exist. Ø The switch inside the oil pressure sensor opens at (6) psi or less of pressure. 6. With the engine running, continuity should exist. 7. If continuity does not exist as stated, the sensor is faulty.
No it will not; Need to check MAP sensor, coolant sensor, fuel pressure regurlator Mass air flow sensor if it has one. IS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON ??? If so scan engine with scanner. GOOD LUCK.
P0071=Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Range/Performance. There is a temp sensor in the fresh air intake that monitors the ambient air temp coming into the engine. Check to see if it is disconnected. On this van, the ambient temperature sensor is located in front of the bottom of the ac condenser.
P0470 is Exhaust back pressure sensor malfunction.
They are easy to change. Here is an article on how to test them. Oil Pressure Sensor Testing 1. Test and verify the engine oil pressure.

Possibilities:Ignition: check plugs, cap rotor etcFuel pressure, Failed fuel pump or regulator, Check pressure at port.Control system readings incorrect. Need to get car onto a scanner and see what readings are out of calibration. Throttle position sensor, MAP sensor (Manifold Absolute Pressure), O2 Sensor could cause this if it is disconnected or way out of rangePlugged exhaust system, Muffler or Catalyst or has some one stuffed something in the tail pipes?Plugged air cleaner.Internal engine problem like a bad camshaft
