RICHWEI Oil Pressure Sensor Kit PS690 for 2009–2020 GM Trucks & SUVs — Socket Included, Direct-Fit

The RICHWEI PS690 oil pressure sensor and dedicated removal socket is a direct-fit replacement kit engineered to restore accurate oil pressure readings on many 2009–2020 GM vehicles.

This replacement assembly pairs a calibrated oil pressure sending unit (commonly referenced as PS690 and several OE cross numbers) with a purpose-built socket so you can remove and install the sensor without damaging the housing or wiring. It’s offered as a straightforward swap for a wide range of Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac, Hummer, Pontiac and Saab models with various V6 and V8 engines—check fitment below before purchase.

Which vehicles and engines does this sensor kit cover?

The RICHWEI PS690 kit supports a long list of GM platforms, primarily 2009–2019 model years and select 2019–2020 applications. Compatible models include Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, Express vans, Camaro, Corvette, Yukon, Savana, and many others across Chevy, GMC, Buick, Cadillac, Hummer, Pontiac and Saab. It covers multiple engine families from 1.4L turbo four-cylinders up to 7.0L V8s—review the fitment list to confirm your exact year, model and engine code.

• Covers Silverado 1500/2500/3500, Sierra 1500/2500/3500, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, and more
• Engine sizes included: 1.4L, 1.5L, 1.6L, 2.0L, 2.7L, 4.2L, 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, 6.2L, 6.6L, 7.0L
• Cross-references common OE part numbers such as PS690, 12673134, 12596951, and others

How does the included socket make installation easier?

The kit’s socket is shaped to engage the sensor body securely so you can remove a seized or recessed sensor without marring the housing. Using the correct tool minimizes the risk of oil leaks and protects the sensor’s electrical connector during removal and reinstallation. It’s a simple way to reduce labor time and avoid cutting or prying that can damage the oil pan or sensor mount.

• Dedicated socket fits the sensor hex/profile for firm engagement
• Prevents rounding of the sensor body and reduces installation time
• Allows safe access in tight engine bays without connector damage

What should I expect from the sensor’s performance and compatibility?

The RICHWEI sensor is manufactured to match the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the original equipment unit so it sends compatible pressure signals to the ECM and dash gauge. While it restores signal integrity, avoid making warranty-like performance claims—proper fit and wiring integrity are essential for correct readings. Always verify that the sensor’s connector and thread size match your vehicle before installing.

• Designed to provide matching electrical output for original systems
• Supplied thread and connector types match common GM mounts (verify visually)
• Sold with cross-reference numbers to help confirm fitment

What precautions should I take when replacing the oil pressure sensor?

Work on a cooled engine and use the supplied socket for removal to avoid burns, stripped fittings, or oil spills. Keep the electrical connector clean and secure after installation and torque the sensor to the manufacturer’s specification where available. If the old sensor failed due to oil contamination or wiring faults, address the underlying cause to prevent repeat failure.

• Perform replacement with engine cold and battery disconnected if needed
• Inspect wiring harness and connector for corrosion before installing
• Torque to spec and check for leaks after startup

Who this is for: Mechanics, DIY technicians, and fleet maintenance teams who need a reliable OE-style replacement sensor and the correct removal tool for many GM trucks, SUVs and vans from 2009–2020. Ideal for anyone troubleshooting oil pressure warnings, replacing a leaking or failed sender, or performing scheduled engine maintenance—confirm year, make, model and engine before ordering.
