Low Oil Level
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Buick LaCrosse and 2006 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the LOW OIL LEVEL message in the DIC when the PCM/ECM detects a low engine oil level condition and the low oil level switch signal circuit is high. The PCM/ECM monitors the signal circuit of the engine oil level switch for a brief period when the key moves from ON to START to determine the oil level. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM/ECM requesting display of the LOW OIL LEVEL message in the DIC (if equipped with uplevel IPC UH8).
