1 Water Pump problem

Failure Date: 06/22/2019

My engine light has decided to light up in my Jeep randomly one day after starting it. After scanning it, it shows code p0522. The research I have done has shown it usually shows the oil light when it is that code. So as a result, I have had my oil changed again and I have ordered a oil pressure sensor/sender hoping that will fix all my problems which will be installed next Sunday (7/7/2019). I also had to change the water pump because it had a crack in it, the thermostat just for precautionary measures, and the belt because it had a tear in it about half the size of the width. All of this to try to figure out the problem with the engine light and the scanner showing the code p0522. So we will see if that actually fixes the problem.
