Fibbing oil light, Silly thing wont go out! Options

[nitrate]

Hi all,

Just got myself a new old celica. Really nice drive with plenty of power. However as with all used cars there are a number of little things that need sorting. The one i am struggling with at the mo is the oil level light on the dash, it lights up as soon as the car moves from starting. It rarely goes out. It is not the oil pressure, but the oil level. I think this must be a faulty sender or duff connector as the oil level is correctly topped up with 10/30W oil. Anyone had anything similar? Also does anyone know the location of the oil level sender so i can check the plug contacts for fouling as i gather it will be under the car somwere. The car in question is a 94 generation6 celica GT, UK spec totaly standard, no mods. Engine is a 3S-GE 170ish bhp , dash type 180MPH 9K RPM. Sunroof, Hatchback. Also how do you stop the ABS light coming on? Does it indicate worn pads? as i think they are low.

Cheers,
Leigh.P

you know a few years ago i had a pontiac sunfire with the blinking oil level issue it was the sender and 9 out of 10 times youll find the sender in the oil pan on one of the sides as far as the abs light pads being worn wont affect the light the way abs works is theres a relucter and a pickup sensor usually on the axle but could be on the hub check the teeth on the reluctor make sure theres no road grim stuck in there that will prevent the pickup from sensing the revolutions of the wheel also since its intermitant you might need to check the wires going to the sensor since they are subjected to vibration and motion constanly one other thing to consider is this abs works off of wheel speed it senses how fast each wheel is moving in relation to the others if .......... if there is a difference between one of the four wheels the abs modual will interoupt the brakeing pressure to compensate the difference in the wheels to try and correct the issue another thing to consider is this if there is a fualt within the 4 motor system that controls the abs it will also throw a code out and make the lamp come on theres a ton of variables to play with on abs the easiest thing to do is find someone with a diagnostic tool to connect to the diagnostic connector and read the codes that were saved in its fault history normaly codes will remain even after the lamp goes off most of the time up to 40 ign cycles
