Default Low oil light

my "low oil light" comes on time to time. But I have plenty of oil left when I check it with my dip stick. Possibly short in the censor?

that would be my guess or something is chaffing the wire to gnd sending a false signal. Have you done any work in that area?? Double check, try cleaning the connector contacts..

I would get a "low oil" on the digital oil temperature readout, on a cold morning, like below 32 degrees, checked the oil level and it was good. Figured it was just below the temperature range of the sensor.

I had a problem with mine showing the low oil light from time to time when I know i have plenty of oil in it. Changed the sensor in the pan and do not have the problems anymore.
