Bdc101 is on a distinguished road
Also note that I reinstalled the engine fan yesterday (the engine-driven fan) after leaving it off all winter like I always do. I also broke the radiator shroud and removed it yesterday, which is why I disconnected the aux fan connector. I wonder if I might have damaged the oil pressure sensor wire during that work? But even if I did, why would it only trip the low-oil-pressure alarm at idle speeds? Anything over even 1,000 rpm or so, the alarm light goes away.



I also should note that it gave me the "Check Engine Oil Level" message a couple of times as well.



Could either a faulty oil level sensor or oil pressure sensor be tripping BOTH the oil pressure and the oil level alarms?
