Low Oil Light
 

Lately my "Low Oil" light comes on when i start my car and it stays on. I checked the oil and its fine. sometimes though the light wont come on. maybe its just a bad sensor?

Mine did that 2....all I did was took out my battery overnight and it hasn't done it since

yeah i thought about that, just reset the ecu. i'll try that

well it didnt work. i had it unplugged all day even though all it takes is 30 minutes. still came on. i turned the engine off and started it back up and it didnt come on anymore, but now the idle is jumpy and weird. stupid cars.

the ecm needs to relearn a bit, if the low oil light keeps comming on it would be a sensor

yeah ima get my car on the hoist tomorrow. is the sensor most likely on the side of the oil pan? i've seen one there...

I think so, but not positive

it might be there- its on the inside on the LT1's...Hopefully you can get to it from the outside, otherwise its a PITA to get too!!

I had the same problem, it came on for a moment and I got my oil changed and it was fine.

imagine that low oil, and the solution would be changing it :lolsign:

Seriously sensors have to be one of the most expensive things on newer cars (since they go out so much).

yep my grandpa's caddy had sensor trouble, my dad's expedition did, and my aunt's camry did as well. i say lets go back to carborateurs with 427's and screw computers :lolsign:

hey, my husband says that, too! :lolsign:

and still have points, condensor, jets, and other parts that go bad. they cost as much in the long run (points need to be rplaced at each oil change for most performance)

some people would just rather mess with that though, than have to play around with computer-oriented parts. That's how Ryan is. He hates working on my car. But then, I don't think she cares much for him, either. :D
