Oil pressure warning light?
I have a 2003 Ford Focus 1.6 petrol. I have noticed that after I turn off the engine and then turn the ignition back on the oil pressure warning doesn't not come on immediately like the other lights such as the battery red light. It takes a few seconds before it comes on. The oil level is ok. Why is this?
Because the oil holds pressure even with the engine off, for a little while.
May I say Thank you for paying attention to little things like that?
Motorhead as hit the nail on the head.
- 2003 ford taurus ses sedan V6 3.0L OHV (vin U) oil pressure light? My cars oil light came on (red oil can). I changed the sensor for it. Do i have to go through the drive cycle for it to cut off? If so how long does that take? FYI: no codes show up for anything…
- 2003 ford taurus ses sedan 3.0L OHV (vin: U) Loose fuel cap warning light (yellow light)? My "loose fuel cap warning light" is on inside my car. I had the gas cap replaced and no codes show up on the OBDII scan tool. What could cause the light to stay on?
- 2003 Ford Taurus SES oil light and gas cap light? My cars oil light (red) and gas cap light (yellow light down and left from the oil light) is on in my car. I used a scan tool and no codes came up. It's not leaking oil and everything is fine. I just do not know why the two lights are on? I bought the car about two months ago and the lights were on before i bought the car… any reason they're on?
- Oil pressure sensor not working? My oil pressure constantly reads nothing. I recently purchased a 2000 ford ranger with a 4.0L V6. Well, it constantly reads nothing on oil pressure. The motor has no knock and runs smooth… Do you think it is just the sensor? The oil pumps probably wouldn't be out would it? The truck has 170000 miles on it.
