Need help..No Oil Pressure !!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

BabyBee2010 · 10-03-2009, 07:34 PM

Had the car out this evening, out to dinner, etc. We stopped at the store was only in the store for about 5 minutes. Came back out started the car, started backing out and the information center started flashing "No Oil Pressure, turn the engine off". I turned the car off and turned it back on again still no oil pressure. I had my oil changed two weeks ago. Called OnStar they said to turn the car on again, this time I had oil pressure. I still had them run the diagnotic, they found nothing. Has this happened to anyone else?? Should I take it in Monday??

Yes take your car in.

What did the oil gauge say on the cluster pack?

POWERFREAK · 10-03-2009, 08:53 PM

maybe just a bad sensor...I'd have it checked out to be sure.

The oil gauge was at 0 pressure but when OnStar told me to turn the car on it went back to normal.

No nasty ticks. Checked it out today and everything was fine, oil pressure was good, oil level was good as well. I'm still going to take it in.

firestone_ss · 10-04-2009, 10:48 PM

good idea,there may even be some data stored in the pcm,possibly a pending code to give the tech and idea of whats going on

BabyBee2010 · 10-05-2009, 05:48 PM

Took the car in and they hooked it up to the computer. Seems I have a faulty oil pressure switch.

Mine says "LOW OIL PRESSURE TURN ENGINE OFF!" It's done it on two separate occasions. First time, I had the car towed to my nearest dealership. They said there was nothing wrong. I was on my way to pick up my son from football practice today I got the reading again.

Check the oil dipstick. If there is oil at the right level then you don't have to panic.

Take it in to the dealer.
