|---|---|---|
| Perkins | 403D-11, 403D-15, 404D-22 | Current documented 185246190 applications |

Product Overview
The oil-pressure switch is an engine-protection input that changes state according to lubrication pressure. A failed switch or damaged connector can cause a false low-oil-pressure warning, nuisance shutdown, or no warning at all, but genuine low oil pressure must always be ruled out before blaming the switch.
Current Perkins parts references identify 185246190 for 403D-11, 403D-15 and 404D-22 engines. Marketplace listings also associate the number with earlier 403C/404C applications; because 400-series engine revisions can differ, confirm the engine serial number and original switch number.

Confirm actual engine model/serial and part number 185246190. If a low-pressure warning is present, verify real oil pressure with the proper test procedure before replacing the switch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a bad switch create a false low-oil-pressure warning?
Yes, but low oil pressure can damage an engine quickly, so actual pressure should be verified rather than assuming the switch is faulty.
Is this a pressure gauge sender?
It is listed as an oil pressure switch; switch-type and variable-resistance gauge senders are not interchangeable unless the application specifically calls for the same part.
