To replace the oil pressure sensor on a Toyota 4Runner, first open the hood and locate the sensor, usually screwed into the engine block near the oil filter. Disconnect the electrical terminal connected to the sensor.

Place a container under the engine to catch any oil spills. Unscrew the sensor using an appropriate wrench, being careful not to damage the threads.

Take the new sensor and hand-tighten it, then secure it with the wrench without over-tightening. Reconnect the electrical connector to the sensor.

Start the engine and check for any leaks and that the oil pressure light on the dashboard is functioning correctly.
