2011 Infiniti Qx56 AWD low oil pressure code

Topic starter

Hello,

Got any thoughts why my car keeps triggering a low oil pressure code even after I replaced the oil switch?

When the code is triggered, the car runs in a limited mode where it on REVS to 1500RPM.... It sometimes triggers additional coded like CAM SHAFT POS Sensor and or Crank SHAFT POS and sometimes Catalytic.... Ill get a list of codes next time i log in.

First of all: … stop driving your car! There is a serious problem with your engine! Stop.

Now, since the car is stopped: …  think of this, this way: … your old pressure switch was telling you the truth, … and now a new pressure switch is telling you the truth! Your two pressure switches agree and telling you:  your engine has a serious problem - LOW OIL PRESSURE! STOP! It could be either there is something wrong with the internals of the engine, … or there is a problem with an oil pump. Or both! And perhaps even more than that, … by now!

Anyway, … since you telling us that there are more codes to come, … we will stand by. But honestly, codes are being spewed not for you to simply erase them and continue driving, but being spewed to alert you that there is a problem, … and you have to stop the car, have it checked what the problem is, correct it, … and only than continue driving! That’s a job of the sensors like pressure switches ‘n such.

F.S., … not trying to be mean.

Don't keep driving. Get it TOWED to a mechanic for proper diagnosis. Continuing to drive it with those issue is likely causing serious internal damage.
