Modus Oil Level Sensor Fault

Has anyone seen a 'oil level sensor signal faulty' error on a 2004 Renault Modus gasoline? It's showing 156661 km. The error shows in the speedometer, is stored in memory, and the warning light comes on, sometimes with the oil pressure lamp. Diagnostics point to a possible cable or plug issue.

That sounds frustrating. I had a similar thing happen with my old Opel Corsa – not the oil pressure light, but the warning light and error message were definitely there. Have you checked the sensor itself for any physical damage or corrosion? Maybe try cleaning the contacts before diving too deep.

Thanks. Which specific contacts are you referring to, and what cleaning method did you find most effective? I want to address this carefully.

I meant the electrical connector on the oil level sensor itself. I just used some electrical contact cleaner spray that you can get at most auto parts stores, sprayed it on, and wiped it down. It's worth a shot before you start replacing things. Though, honestly, it might be time to visit a workshop if that doesn't fix it.

Following inspection and replacement of the sensor, the issue is resolved. The error message is gone, and the warning lights are off. Total cost was 95€.
