Lexus UX oil level sensor fault

I've got an issue with my 2021 Lexus UX gasoline. I'm getting an error message and a warning light related to oil pressure in the speedometer, and there's an error stored in the memory too. It's showing a faulty oil level sensor signal. Anyone else run into this? Odometer reading is at 111342 km. Any thoughts?

Sounds like the oil level sensor is acting up. Have you checked the basics, like the wiring and connector to the sensor? A loose or corroded connection can cause all sorts of weird issues. It's like when your TV remote batteries are dying – sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Where is the oil level?

I had a quick look, but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. Is there a common spot for these connectors to fail in the Lexus UX?

While it's hard to say for certain without a proper diagnostic, the most probable root cause is defective cable or plug connection on the component. Given the symptoms and the troubleshooting you've done, you're likely looking at a sensor issue or its wiring. As a next step, I advise you to take it to a workshop. The overall repair costs should stay below 100€, like 95€.

Thanks a lot for the help! I took your advice and brought it in. Turns out it was indeed a faulty connection to the oil level sensor – easy fix. Saved me a bunch of headache trying to diagnose it myself!
