Oil Pressure Sensors for Rotax 912 ULS

[James_Rekieta]

I have a D180 and have the oil pressure sensor set for the Rotax 956413 sensor which is described in the install manual as (mid-2008 and later). My Rotax sensor installed on a 2013 model engine is a 456180. I'm presently getting a "0" reading for the oil pressure during engine run. I installed a local manual gauge which confirmed normal oil pressure readings during initial engine run. The manual does not mention the 456180 sensor that came with the engine. Should the wiring be the same as for the 956413 sensor?
Thanks,
Jrans

See this link for Rotax's background doc, but basically, know that it's the same sensor. Basically, in late 2012, Rotax further switched to a new oil pressure sensor (Rotax P/N 456180). It is functionally identical to the previous Honeywell (Rotax P/N 956413) sensor, and connects in the same fashion as it. However, the connector and wiring for the sensor that Rotax includes with the engine may require some assembly
