Description
001 153 05 32 – Mercedes-Benz Engine Oil Level Sensor
This electrical sensor is a critical component of the engine’s lubrication monitoring system, responsible for measuring the volume of engine oil remaining in the oil pan (sump). It operates by sending an electronic signal to the Engine Control Unit (ECU) or directly to the instrument cluster. If the oil level drops below a safe operating threshold or exceeds the maximum capacity, the sensor triggers a dashboard warning light or message. This functionality is essential for preventing catastrophic engine failure caused by oil starvation or aeration.
