Oil pressure

[Thorsten]

Hello!

I'm using a 1-10 bar oil pressure sensor. The resistances are 10 ohm at 0 bar, 107 ohm at 5 bar and 184 ohm at 10 bar.
Its not exacly linear, but thats not my problem.
I calculated the function: a = 13,56 ; b = -0,54
Now when the Sensor is connected the Volt Signal is always 0.
When there is a pressure of 5 bar (messured external) the resistance is round about at 100 but the voltage messured in the UTComp is still 0V.
What can be the Problem?
When I disconnect the sensor the messured voltage is going crazy 0-5V.
Im using Port ADC1 Pin A8 with oil pressure.

Thanks for helping!

Is this sensor already powered from stock ECU?
It should be powered with reference voltage +5V.

If it is not powered than you should connect it to AdcVccX

Hey that was exacly my problem!
Now its solved
So, the Adc Port is only an reader, like my voltmeter, right?
Now it make sense, thanks alot!
