XTrail oil pressure warning light

I am having a serious issue with my 2018 Nissan XTrail gasoline. The oil pressure warning lamp keeps lighting up, and there's a warning light displayed in the speedometer. Car diagnostics showed an error stored in the error memory, related to the engine oil temperature sensor. Could this be a defective sensor? I am concerned.

Sounds familiar! I had similar symptoms with my old Opel Corsa, but it was the coolant temp sensor acting up. Is the temperature reading on your dash off too? Could be a bad connection somewhere.

The temperature reading seems normal, actually. Where was the defective connection on your Corsa exactly? Maybe it's a similar issue.

On the Corsa it was just a corroded plug, easy fix. But if your temp gauge is fine, and it's the oil pressure light, it's probably best to have a shop check the sensor and wiring. Oil pressure problems are scary!

You are absolutely right. Took your advice and went straight to the workshop. Turns out it was indeed a defective cable or plug connection of the oil temperature sensor. Repair cost was 95€. Thanks for the insight!
