Oil Lamp

[kaka]

it started on Saturday,i was going ouit for a drive,and when i started i saw that oil warnig didnt go out,,so i stopt it right away,and it was abit low,butt far from empty,but i filed it up to max..and when i got back in the car again, the light was gone,so i drowe away,i had a stop at the shop,and when i started again,,the light was on again,,so i thougth that it was the filter or the presure sensor...

so to day i left it to my local garage to have it sorted out...they changed the oil filter and checked the sensor,but the light was still on!!!

but when the engine was runing the mecanic opend the door,,and the ligth goes out!!!

he tolde me that he never have seen this problem,and he was going to call a toyota garage tomorow,and ask them if they know anything????

i was wondering if any of you have heard of this problem????

Hi there mate working for VW i have seen this but with the bonnet not the door. The oil level sensor gets a signal from the bonnet switch to say the level has been topped up and then resets itself sending the light off.

Hi there mate in some cases when the oil light dose'nt go out its usually a faulty level sensor in which case its replaced.Lexus design may differ and this is not a very common fault for VW.
