Low Oil Indicator Stays On With Oil Level Okay

  1. Turn ignition off. Wait a minimum of 35 minutes for cluster's cold oil drain back calculation to clear. Disconnect oil level sensor connector. Connect jumper wire between connector terminals. Turn ignition on. If indicator comes on for about one second, then goes off, ensure oil level is correct. If oil level is okay, check for poor connection at oil level sensor connector. If connection is okay, replace oil level sensor.
  2. If indicator does not come on for about one second, then go off, turn ignition off. Leave jumper wire in place. Disconnect IPC connector. Connect test light at IPC connector between Brown wire at terminal A15 and battery voltage.
  3. If test light illuminates, check for poor connection to cluster at Brown wire. If connection is okay, replace IPC. If test light does not illuminate, repair open in ground circuit (Black or Black/White wire).
