Oil pressure light on dash

Would anybody know if the oil pressure light on the dash only flashes on low oil pressure or if it flashes on high pressure too?

I think the light flashes the same for either scenario.

According to the instruction manual (p34 for G60):

Quote

The warning lamp flashes when ignition is switched on. The lamp must go out when the engine has started.
If the lamp does not go out or flashes when driving - a buzzer also sounds at engine speeds over 2000 rpm - stop, switch engine off, check oil level and if necessary, add oil.

 

Try to disconnect the connector to the low pressure sensor and ground the signal wire - see if the flashing goes out?
I guess this sensor would be open circuit until the pressure is met then closed circuit.

Then repeat for the high pressure sensor.
This may be the other way round: Open circuit until high pressure is met?

I've not tried any of this, but it may point you where to go next...

Thanks, problem sorted.

i had the connections on the sender the wrong way round. I had the gauge wire on the WK terminal not the G.

switched round and working perfectly now
