Got a message that the check Oil Indicator is failing.......basically can not read my oil levels, right out of nowhere too in the middle of driving just got the message. Anyone have any experience with this? and know what could be causing this?

Thanks

 

During a recent drive home from a day at the track recieved a message, "Indicator failure". At the same time the oil pressure gauge was bouncing up and down before dropping to zero. Car felt fine so, I didn't stop.
Dealer replaced faulty oil pressure sending unit.

 

It was right after racing that it happend to me too. Car feels perfect, guess I just have to get the unit replaced too. Car is covered under CPO until July better get there quick haha.

 

I have an intermittent failure of the sensor too. About once every 6 months the failure indicator comes on. I shut it down, reset the codes, and everything is fine. Oil level check and pressure gauge work fine too. Very weird, but I'd try resetting the code first.

 

my oil pressure gauge drops to zero all the time the goes back up... but i dont get any failure warnings.

 

I called the dealer and they said that if the whole thing needs to be replaced then it is covered under warranty, they then said if the unit can be fixed ex) wire is loose or whatever then they are going to charge. I think I should just reset it to see if it comes back before I bring it in.

 

Can you do this with a generic OBD2 reader...san buying a durametric?\

Got message....meter seems fine afaict.

TIA
