Volvo V90 oil pressure warning light

Hi, I have a 2017 Volvo V90 with a gasoline engine and 58104 km on the clock. Recently, a warning light appeared in the speedometer, and the error memory stored a fault. Additionally, the oil pressure warning lamp lights up sometimes. Could this be a faulty engine oil temperature sensor? I suspect the cable or plug connection is defective.

A 2017 Volvo V90 owner experienced an oil pressure warning light on the dashboard, suspecting a faulty engine oil temperature sensor or a defective cable connection. The warning light stayed on constantly, indicating a potential issue with the sensor sending incorrect signals. It was advised to tow the vehicle to avoid engine damage. The problem was confirmed to be the cable connection of the engine oil temperature sensor, and the repair was completed successfully.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Sounds plausible. When the oil pressure warning light lights up, does it flicker or stay on constantly? A faulty sensor can cause this; it's like having a short circuit that gives wrong readings.

It stays on constantly, not flickering. If it's indeed the sensor, is it safe to drive to the workshop, or should I call a tow truck to avoid further damage?

If it stays on, it’s more likely the sensor is sending a constant 'low pressure' signal, like a stuck switch. Better to be safe than sorry; a tow is the wiser choice. Get it checked before you risk engine damage.

Thanks for the advice! You were spot on; it was indeed the engine oil temperature sensor, precisely the cable connection. The repair cost me 95€ Much appreciated!
