Default need help please!!!

I am a new member and new corvette owner, well 07 anyway. I am having problems with the check oil level signal on the dash. It is not the same as the oil % thing. everytime i get in my car this goes off. I have had my oil checked out and checked it myself and the oil level is fine. Could the sensor be bad? Suggestions/Comments are appreciated

My first thought would be a bad sensor.

Take it to a reputable shop in your area and have the sensor checked out. Also, since this is your first post, be sure to fill in your profile, post some pics, and welcome to the Forum. You will love how much you will learn about your car!

TheShadyWon – have you had a chance to get this checked out yet or are you planning to take care of it yourself?
