Low Oil Level warning
I'm getting this warning even though oil is full, pressure at idle with stock/original sensor is about 30-35lbs.
03 with 25,500 on clock. I can reset the warning but it comes back.
Is this related to the oil sensor? or does that just deal with pressure?
Any and all replies appreciated.

How long has it been doing this? Mine done this for several days after I parked nose down on a hill, it would't reset. I was just about to troubleshoot and fix it but it started working on its own. I think I lived with it about a week before the code went away. B\G

It could be the wiring....
When i went to put headers on my '01 I found that the factory original wiring loom had melted and the wires were brittle from heat because of the position of the loom....
I rewired and it was good to go....

I did get the car up as best I could in garage today and got as far under as my body would let me but it wasn't far enough. I need to get it on a lift.

Can the oil level sensor be removed without removing the oil pan? I just changed my oil and added 7qts of oil to see if this would stop the low oil level message and it didn't. It must be a bad sensor or wiring so I will checking both
