Default Low Oil Level Light...

Today I was thrown a low oil level light... Ok, shut off the car, looked under it in the driveway, nothing. Pull the dipstick, More than enough oil. So I go back into the car and start it again, low and behold, no code. Could this be somethin goin wrong? or just a random code being thrown...

were you parked on a real steep hill in either direction for any period of time? this could cause the oil in the pan to flow one way or another and thus trip the sensor when it thinks the oil is low.

Check the connection on the sensor, in the side of the oil pan.
