Default oil level light comes 2jzgte swap

Gazi did the swap way back and we've noticed that after the car warms up, the oil level light comes on even though the level and pressure is fine. anyone have that problem? any fix? I was an aristo swap.

Thanks,
sid

You need a new oil pressure sensor. Had that happen once.

It's the level light that comes on not pressure.

Thanks - Sid

No, the oil level sensor is in the oil pan on the driverside. you need that sensor , pull that sensor out and looks at it you will see if it's damage.
Op please post some pics of your car, i haven't seen it In a long time.
A32Boost, Oil level and oil pressure are 2 different sensor . Oil pressure is on the side of the block on the driverside right behind the a/c compressor , and oil level is in the upper oil pan on the driver side right by the oil dipstick.

If the sensor is broke, the light will come ON or if the oil level wire that comes from the sensor to the body plug is not in the right pin , that will also do that.

Make SURE you're running your original SC300 2JZGE oil level sensor. The Aristo sensor will give you this false reading that your oil level is low, when it's actually just fine. This is a very common mistake, no worries though, easy fix!
