OK, you need to check 2 different sensors.

1 is the oil level sensor, this is on the bottom of the oil pan, and is rather easy to check ( maybe the connector i broken, (i.e. ran over something, haevy snow/ice))

2 is the "Oil Presure Switch" (located on the front side of engine, a few inches away from the A/C unit)

Again, "Double" check all the wires going in and out of these connectors, as well as the connectors them selves. Depending on where you live, this is the time of year for snow/ice, so i would check the Oil Sensor at the bottom of oil pan first, could just be 1 wire, or the connectpr is self. hope this helps
