Low Oil Message

[fco_gonzo]

Early this summer I had my tahoe's oil changed at Jiffy Lube (1st time at JL) then I went home and parked it. The following morning I started the tahoe and it had a message that my oil level was low and needed to be filled. Of course, I was pissed and drove back to JL and chewed out the dude there and nicely asked to fill it up to the correct level. Before they filled it they checked the dip stick and it read that it was filled correctly. He suggested that the Oil Level Sensor may have go out.

Long story short, I replaced the Oil Level sensor and Oil pressure switch (it went out this week). However, the message is still there "Oil level Low".

Has anyone exprienced this? If so, how was this corrected, or any suggestions?

You reset the message right?

Dipstick reads full.

You can't reset this, Im not talking about the oil life.

Yeah all you do is go through the DIC then go to oil level left hold the check button and it'll beep and it resets

I dont think we are on the same sheet of music. I am only able to reset the OIL LIFE not the level.

just stop man. your not really helping.


wish i had some good information for ya. only thing i can guess is maybe you got a bad oil level sensor? i've had mine come on a few times, but it was actually low. as far as i know mine is the original one 12 years old.. you may just have to drive it for a bit. maybe pull the negative terminal off the battery and let it reset.
