Detailed Description

Walker 256-1101 is engineered to replace the original engine oil pressure switch used in select Suzuki vehicles. It threads into the factory mounting location, typically on the engine block or oil filter housing, and connects to the existing harness without modification. The switch monitors oil pressure and provides the signal needed to activate the warning lamp or communicate with the ECU when pressure falls below the expected range. For drivers searching for a Suzuki Grand Vitara oil pressure switch, Suzuki Swift oil pressure switch, or Walker 256-1101 replacement, this part is built for direct OE-style service.

Walker uses high-temperature, oil-resistant materials to maintain consistent electrical response during prolonged engine exposure. The steel body and OE-matched terminal layout help preserve proper warning function in vehicles that rely on accurate oil pressure feedback for engine protection.

What It Helps Address

• Oil warning light flickering or intermittent operation
• False low-oil-pressure warnings
• No warning signal when actual oil pressure is low
• Faulty ECU or dash input from a worn pressure switch
• Loss of reliable lubrication-system monitoring

Installation Notes

Install the switch in the original threaded location and verify the connector style matches the factory harness before installation. Use the correct thread engagement and torque specification for the vehicle application. After installation, confirm warning light operation and inspect for leaks at the switch body and connection point. This part number 256-1101 is a direct replacement for service work, drivability repairs, and engine rebuilds on supported Suzuki models.

Quality Assurance

Walker Products manufactures this oil pressure switch to OE replacement standards with attention to pressure threshold, terminal configuration, and electrical response. The design uses oil-resistant, high-temperature materials to support dependable operation in engine environments.
