Service Vehicle Soon Warning

[commodore665]

hi guys , today while pulling into the supermarket , had just backed into parking space , the SVS warning appeared , so when I re started the warning re appeared on the car I pressed the mode button and the warning went away and the SVS light was on on the bottom of the screen , so after a few seconds of driving the SVS light went away , but the warning appears when I start the car but does go away after I do the preceding steps , I'm thinking oil pressure sensor gone haywire, hope that makes sense

I had similar issue in my old VZ, it was the oil pressure sensor. You can confirm with a scan tool

It’s a cheap sensor to replace. Easy as well.

 

[commodore665]

are they able to be cleaned , rather than replaced ? I’m guessing there is no way to check either if it’s buggered ,if you don't have the right equipment

They cost like $30 and take 5mins to change.

Did you see the timing chain post by the new member? Was fully sick.
De-gummed the engine with some ballsy methods, that do make logical sense looking back at it and proof it works without side affects.

Quick update. , just had the check oil warning on dash , level is fine , I’m guessing if sensor is toast I’ll give a false warning
