V40 Oil Pressure Warning Light

I have a 2013 Volvo V40 diesel with 214272 km. Recently, I've been getting a warning light and an error stored in memory. The oil pressure warning lamp lights up too. I suspect a faulty engine oil temperature sensor. Has anyone else experienced this?

A 2013 Volvo V40 diesel owner reported an oil pressure warning light and suspected a faulty engine oil temperature sensor. Another participant suggested checking the cable and plug connection for issues like loose wires or corrosion. Upon inspection at a workshop, it was confirmed that a defective cable/plug connection was the cause, which was then cleaned and resolved the issue.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Sounds familiar! Had something similar happen on my old BMW 3 Series. Same symptoms, though it turned out to be a dodgy connection. Have you checked the cable and plug connection of the component? Could be that simple.

Thanks for the tip! When you say 'dodgy connection', do you mean a loose wire, or corrosion, or something else?

Could be either, really. In my case, it was corrosion on the plug pins causing a bad reading. I'd say it's worth a look before replacing the sensor. But to be on the safe side, I drove to the workshop afterwards and had them check it out.

Thanks! You were spot on. Took it to the workshop, and it was indeed a defective cable/plug connection. They cleaned it up, and all's well. Cost me 95€ Appreciate the help!
