Summary of the thread
A 2012 Vauxhall Adam owner experienced an oil pressure warning light, with a code indicating an issue with the engine oil temperature sensor. Despite checking the wiring, the problem persisted, suggesting a potential fault with the sensor or its connection. After consulting with others and visiting a shop, it was confirmed that a faulty connection was the cause, and the issue was resolved professionally.

You mean like, pull the sensor and test it? I'm not sure how to do that exactly. What readings were you getting before the lights started going crazy?

Yeah, testing it might be tricky without the right tools. I didn't test mine, just took it to a shop in the end. If the wiring looks fine and it's throwing a code, it's probably the sensor itself playing up. Best to get it checked professionally, could save you a bigger headache down the line.

Thanks for the advice! You were spot on. Took it to the shop, and the error code was correct: faulty oil temp sensor. Turns out it was a dodgy connection. 95€ later, and she's running smooth again. Cheers!

Sounds familiar. I had a similar problem with my Adam. Was getting some weird readings and dash lights flickering. Have you checked the sensor itself? Maybe it's just faulty.
