So while driving today i crossed a hevily rutted intersection, i guesss from big trucks or whatever. but anyways, After i crossed it i realized that my check oil light had come on. I don't know if this would have any relation to each other but i though i would let you guys know just incase. So I got home and i checked my oil, it was clean and at about the half full level, so I topped it up to the full line and started up the celica again. The check oil light is still on. Does this mean that i could have a bad oil pump? or could it just be an electrical wire that came lose? Anyways, any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That's a low oil pressure light. You have lost oil pressure for some reason, a line is clogged, pump bad, etc. Oil level usually isn't related (unless you are very low on oil). Typically when that light comes on you should stop the car wherever you are.
