    So I made a post about this earlier this month but still cannot seem to solve the issue. Before I go buy a new sensor I want to try everything I can. The light isn't always on it only seems to come up when I'm stopped, driving slow, or on a bumpy road. Otherwise all other daily driving doesn't trigger it. So far I've checked fuses, wiring, the actual oil level, and done an oil change. I'll attach an example of the light

    The engine rocks when loaded and moves around in the mounts on bumpy roads. So, I would look at the connector or harness. Have someone watch the display while you wiggle it around.

    Also, try unconnecting and reconnecting the connector. Sometimes that helps with making good contact.

    You may end up buying a new sensor, but finding the issue is helpful.

    Were you able to figure out the problem? I just recently changed my speedometer from the basic one to the one with a screen and this light popped up. I checked the oil level and it was fine for me.

    Either quote or tag @SnowInTheMorn so he knows you're asking a question in a 3 year old thread.
