shotgun Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 A couple of days ago with driving home my low oil pressure light came on for about 3 seconds and went immediately off. I pulled over on the freeway and checked my oil and everything was ok. Today it did the same thing with on my way home. Googled searched and it looks like my sensor might be going bad. I stopped on the way home and picked one up. Now I can't find my tools. Anyone in the reynoldsburg area want to make some quick money and swap it out ? I will come to you no problem.

cstmg8 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I believe there are two sensors, my mom had an '07 and hers continued after one sensor was replaced. Not sure how to tell which, maybe a scan tool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'm pretty sure it's only one sensor, right above the oil filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotgun Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'm pretty sure it's only one sensor, right above the oil filter. That's what I've read. It freaks me out each time it goes off. Will not changing it immediately do any kind of damage ? ( I have a friend that could do it Saturday but I drive to worthington everyday for work) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadz89GTA Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I tied the wires together on my Camaro, damn pigtail kept breaking and it's a pia to get to on the fbodys. But then again I check my oil level regularly so that lights pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sensor is much more common then actually loosing oil pressure, so long as you're confident that you aren't having a real oil issue then it'll be fine.

Nothing out of the ordinary. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
