Walker 256-1195 Engine Oil Pressure Switch

Walker 256-1195 Engine Oil Pressure Switch

Walker 256-1195 is an OE replacement engine oil pressure switch built to monitor lubrication pressure and send the correct signal to the ECU or dash warning circuit when pressure drops below safe limits. It is a direct-fit replacement for select Hyundai Sonata and Dodge Colt applications, including 1995-1998 Hyundai Sonata and 1993-1994 Dodge Colt.

Key Features

• OE replacement oil pressure switch for engine warning and control circuits
• Matches factory pressure threshold, thread size, terminal type, and electrical response
• Blade terminal, male terminal design with 1 terminal connection
• Constructed from metal and plastic with oil- and heat-resistant materials
• Direct installation at the factory mounting location on the engine block or oil filter housing
• Walker part number 256-1195 for service and repair lookup

Detailed Description

This engine oil pressure switch is designed for vehicles that rely on a single-point pressure signal to trigger an oil warning lamp or provide input to engine management. Walker 256-1195 is manufactured to OE specifications so the switch threads into the original location and connects to the existing harness without modification. For drivers searching for a 1995-1998 Hyundai Sonata oil pressure switch or a 1993-1994 Dodge Colt oil pressure switch, this part provides the correct electrical and mechanical match for the application. It is also listed for 1990-1993 Hyundai Sonata, For Light.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Oil warning light flickering or staying on
• False low-oil-pressure warnings
• No signal to the dash light or ECU when pressure drops
• Intermittent pressure switch operation from heat or oil exposure
• Loss of early warning protection in the lubrication system

Installation Notes and Tips

Install Walker 256-1195 at the factory oil pressure switch location and verify the connector style before installation. Confirm thread engagement and terminal fit against the original part, especially on Hyundai Sonata and Dodge Colt applications. If the warning light remains on after replacement, inspect the wiring, connector condition, and actual engine oil pressure.

Quality Assurance

Walker manufactures this switch as an OE-style replacement using materials selected for high-temperature and oil exposure environments. The design follows factory specifications for fit and electrical response to support consistent pressure monitoring in the original system.
