buyer1 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I've got an intermittent red oil level/presssure light on the dash of my 98 GS400, but the oil level is normal and there is no noise coming from the engine to indicate oli starvation. I'm thinking it's a sensor, but has anyone had this problem? If so, how did you fix it and where is the sensor located? thanks, buyer1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idle after hot interstate driving? Only when turning? What weight oil are you running? Oil pump failures are very rare for the 1uzfe engine.

BP 160k miles, the light flickers on and off after 3-4 miles of driving then comes on solid soon after. The oil is changed regularly every 3000-5000 miles. I've been told that the oil pressure switch will fail. Thanks buyer1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevs98gs4 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 It's your sensor! Had the same problem right after I bought my 98 GS! I don't remember where the sensor is though.......I just had my mechanic replace it. GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
