Title: Oil lack warning
Post by: MonzaGSE on 23 July 2012, 22:14:07

I have a problem that the mid says oil lack constantly. Seems there are two wires going to the sensor in the sump. Am i right in thinking that connecting these two wires should clear the message? And it will then be the sensor at fault. If it dont clear with wires connected it will be wiring issue? Car is 95 with x30xe. Oil level is at Max on dipstick.

check the plug mine used to get water in it as the seal on the plug had gone.

The wires to the level sensor in the sump can get very brittle - mine broke when I removed my sump. Yours have possible broken. Not sure how the switch works as to whether shorting the wires will fool the system into thinking the oil level is OK but sounds a fair assumption ......  :-\ :-\

Thanks for replies. Shorting the wires in the plug by the sump made the message go away. Guess that means sump down to change sensor.

Just bit the bullet and ordered new icv from the bay,will tell if that's the problem.Had a delve about can't see/here/find air leak but now I've ordered new icv it'll probably be an air leak somewhere I've missed!Curses!There's a valve type thing towards top front of engine on drivers side[is it the egr valve?]anyway there's a metal pipe going to it,and at the base of the big nut which holds this pipe to the valve it's blowing bubbles!This can't be right can it?Could this be the root of my problem?
