Been having an issue and realized the wires going to my sensor were extended by someone at some point. Whoever did it used the same color wire for all 3.
How can I know which wire from the harness gets soldered to which wire on the connector? Connector wires seem to be Black, Green, Tan w/ White stripe.
I'm trying to understand if this end of the wires I'm holding is OK or not. My guess is Black would have continuity to GND, gray would have 5V, and tan/white would only have voltage at startup and/or running?
If you look at the schematic it makes sense. The pcm is putting out a 5v signal and it's reading the resistance of the sensor. So you have signal and two references, one 5v and one ground. You should be able to figure this out.
New plug for OPS. Plug grey to car black. Plug black to car grey. Plug blue to car tan/white.
Because of my wires and bad work before me, it took a little trial and error to make it right.
Got it figured out and soldered the wires this time. Unfortunately it didn't fix my issue (car reads low oil pressure for a few seconds at start up then goes to normal). Maybe I'll try changing the OPS again.
Maybe install the sender in the available port up front below #1 cylinder since you already have the harness extended instead of dealing with that rear mounted fiasco. Just leave the old sender in place as a plug.

My sender is actually already relocated which will make this easy to try. Is that what you mean?
Where have you seen other people do this? Have you done it? Any issues?
I just crawled under the car and it looks like this might be right above the fiberglass crossmember. I don't think I'll be trying this since I just changed the oil last weekend and would rather not have that huge mess to clean up without knowing if this will actually fix my issue lol.

I have not done this...just found out about the alternate port location recently. It appears one would need to rotate or remove the alternator to gain access...have not looked at it yet myself.
