• OE replacement engine oil pressure switch for Toyota Land Cruiser
• Matches factory pressure threshold, thread size, terminal type, and electrical response
• Metal housing with oil-resistant, high-temperature construction
• 1 female connector and 1 male terminal with pressure contact design
• Direct installation at the factory switch location with no wiring changes

How It Works

This switch monitors engine oil pressure and closes or opens the circuit based on the calibrated pressure point. On 1985-1996 Toyota Land Cruiser applications, it helps trigger the oil warning light or provide the ECU with the signal needed to recognize low-pressure conditions. Walker 256-1175 is built to OE specifications so the electrical response and physical fit align with the original part.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Oil warning light flickering at idle or during driving
• False low-oil-pressure warnings
• No warning signal when oil pressure drops
• Intermittent gauge or ECU signal from a worn switch
• Oil pressure switch failure during engine service or rebuild work

Installation Notes

Install the switch in the factory location, typically on the engine block or oil filter housing, and connect it to the existing harness using the original connector style. Verify thread engagement, terminal orientation, and sealing before final startup. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

Walker manufactures this oil pressure switch to OE-style specifications using materials selected for heat and oil exposure. Part number 256-1175 is engineered for direct fit and consistent electrical operation in the intended Toyota Land Cruiser applications.
