What does the oil light sensor mean?

[Brooklyn]

Yellow oil light symbol sensor is a reminder that there is a fault with the oil pump or sensor, and the car needs to be inspected at a repair station when this issue occurs. A yellow oil light indicates insufficient oil pressure, which could be due to low oil levels, a faulty oil pump or sensor, or a blocked oil passage. Turn off the engine and check if the oil is severely deficient. If the oil level is adequate, the issue might be a clogged oil pump or a faulty oil pressure sensor. Below is an introduction to the oil light illumination: 1. Insufficient oil level: Normal oil consumption can cause the oil pump to deliver less oil due to the reduced volume, eventually leading to a drop in oil pressure and triggering the oil light alarm. 2. Engine overheating: Prolonged aggressive driving keeps the engine under high temperature and load conditions. Even with sufficient oil, the high temperature can thin the oil, causing it to leak through gaps and resulting in decreased oil pressure. 3. Damaged oil pump: If the components of the oil pump are excessively worn or improperly assembled, leading to large gaps or abnormal operation, the oil pump may fail to deliver oil or deliver insufficient oil, triggering the oil light alarm.
