Question M272 Oil PRESSURE sensor/switch

I have the P0521 code. The full message is: P0521 Engine Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch Circuit Range/Performance


My problem is I can not find any oil PRESSURE switch on the M272 engine. Wherever I search I find the oil LEVEL switch.
Is there no oil PRESSURE switch or sensor on the M272?

Exclamation M272 Oil pressure sensor/switch

This is a picture of item 10.

It is a oil LEVEL sensor, nothing else. It sends a ground signal to the ECU via the only lead when the oil is below a certain level.

(Sorry have tried several times to attach a picture but without success)

I can not see any picture.

I have not seen any M272 engine with a oil pressure sending unit to show actual oil pressure somewhere.
What Mercedes call oil pressure switch is a unit submerged in the oil pan.
It measures the pressure from oil in the oil pan above the "switch". When the level goes below a certain value the "switch" feels too low pressure and a contact is closed and illuminates a warning light on the instrument panel.
