These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Outcome without a verified action link

Don't worry, it's not that big a deal as long as you get it fixed reasonably quickly so that you can trust your oil pressure gauge again.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

ok, so driving my 02 c2 down the freeway.. the following popped up (i believe anyway.. it went away quickly): "check failure" and the oil can symbol. my oil pressure bounced from 5-1, then leveled off at just below 5. i pulled off freeway to restart, check oil level, etc. all was well. pressure was 2 at idle. no check engine lights.. also, just had oil change. was able to drive, but oil pressure seemed to be high and fluctuated at frwy speeds from 4-5 at same rpm with cruise control on. thank god for cpo... off to dealer in the am. WTF? anyone else have anything like this happen?

POST 2Original post

Probably your oil pressure sensor is going bad. DoO a search on "sensor" and you'll find a recent (last 2 to 3 weeks, IIRC) thread in this.

POST 4Original post

Yup, same exact thing happened to me. Oil pressure sensor (sending unit on passenger side of the engine) went on the fritz. Replaced by dealer. CPO warranty covered it. There is a great thread on this with pictures and a DIY. Don't worry, it's not that big a deal as long as you get it fixed reasonably quickly so that you can trust your oil pressure gauge again.

POST 5Original post

What's your oil level according to your dipstick?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thx dudes, it's at the dealer. they agree that probably the issue and should be covered under cpo. fingers crossed!

POST 8Original post

I had the same too. Just happened twice, then never again.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

result: i need a new cluster for a faulty oil pressure guage. luckily it's cpo fix! engine is fine, no codes. whew!
