Oil Sensor Def <---- any experience with this?
When I turn off the vehicle I get this warning on the dashboard. It only occurs when I turn off the vehicle. Has anyone had this code before? What does it mean? I checked the oil level and it appears to be fine. I did just have the vehicle in for service - it was leaking oil due to a bad o-ring/seal.

The sensors can go bad on the side of the oil pan. Weasel also provided some information about an update to some models that requires coding in the event of erroneous oil sensor messages after the key is turned off. See this thread for details to determine if your vehicle is in the affected range.

They just replaced a seal on the oil pan......coincidence this is damaged or throwing an error now?

I'll check out that thread, thanks.
