Tacuma oil level sensor issue

Anyone else had issues with their Chevy Tacuma? Mine's a 2000 with a gasoline engine, and the oil level sensor is going nuts. Error message pops up, the error's stored, and the oil pressure light is on. Checked the connections – seems fine. What gives?

I had something similar with my Tacuma. Oil light kept flickering, and the error code pointed to the oil level sensor. Did you check the plug itself for corrosion or damage? Sometimes it's not the cable, but the connection that's the problem. Is your oil level actually okay?

Yeah, oil level is fine, which is even more annoying! Where exactly should I be looking on the plug? I'm not exactly a mechanic, you know?

Okay, good that the oil level is fine - that means the engine is safe at least. Honestly, in my case, I fiddled with it for ages and ended up taking it to a workshop. Turned out to be a faulty connection inside the sensor itself. Cost me about 95€ to get sorted. Save yourself the hassle and get it checked professionally.

Thanks! Seems like that's the way to go. I'll book it in. Cheers for the advice!
