Forscan? to read actual oil pressure?

Sheesh, i didn't think this would blow up like this - i will absolutely try and connect Forscan in the next day or so and at the very least, rule out my specific 2012 engine as having a switch or a sensor on it.

I think it's just one guy who assumed that because he saw it on one vehicle that it was possible on all vehicles. Thought he had a "win" but doesn't seem likely.

I just went out to my 2012 Eco with Forscan - you can NOT read oil pressure!
You have oil pressure % - which is 61% at idle and does not fluctuate with quick throttle input.
Oil_P_Low - which is off because it wasnt low
Oil_Low-Sw - Not Low (low pressure switch)
there are no other pids when searching "oil" or "pressure", there is not an EOP pid

I have nothing in this thread, but do have a few questions. What EB versions use variable volume oil pumps? How would a pressure sensor read oil pressure of a variable volume pump? Could ford have used an on off sensor to prevent customer confusion with a variable pump pressure output? KM

Pressure sensing isn't on/in the oil pump, so no issues there, it just senses the pressure in the system after the oil filter.

What I had thought. And reading pressure on a gauge would probably be mis-interpreted by an old school user due to fluctuations (I'm guessing here). KM
