Oil Level Warning Indicator: Description and Operation

This system is used to indicate when engine oil level is 1-1/2 quarts or more below the specified level. The system consist an instrument panel warning lamp, electronic relay and a float type sensor which is located in the oil pan. The warning lamp will be illuminated during engine starting. If oil level is sufficient, the lamp will go out when engine is operating. If oil level is low, the lamp will remain on until engine oil is added or until ignition switch is placed in the off position. The module will take approximately 5 minutes to reset. If engine is started during this reset period, the last reading obtained will be displayed.
