the other day the wife called telling me, saying the low oil pressure alarm went off on the DIC!!!!!!! and keep going off. 
glad she was smart enough to pull over and call me till i got to her!
after looking at it on the side of the road, it seemed as thou it was nothing to worry about. just a fail on the oil pressure sensor.
seeing it stayed at 130 PSI (lol) and when you gave it a little gas it droped to 0 set the alarm, and jumped back to 130!
have a look

real, real easy job, they make a spacial socket for pressure sensors so if you don't have a big enough deep, you'll need to buy one to make this happen!
for me it was a 1 1/6 or 27mm deep impact (impacts have a little hole on the sides)
so heres the part, you'ed be looking for!(147)
and the tools
get the car up in the air, and you'll find easy access in front of the rack to get at it.
just pull the wire clip, toss the socket on, a little turn and it'll come off the rest of the way by hand!
here it is
socket on
a little turn with a drift pin, and unscrew it by hand.
now when you go to put it back on remmber!
it's a brass fitting, going into an aluminium block!!
it comes with thread lock already on the part.
so theres no need to go crazy over over tightening it!!!!!
snug it up by hand, and give it 1/4-1/2 turn with the socket
and thats all it needs.
put the wire back in and your done
truly about 10 mins of your time
