Hi Scotty, I have been following you since 10 months now and bought a used car Honda FIT 2012 model. I had to spend a lot for fixing it after i bought it.
When I thought everything is fine I am seeing a blinking Low Oil pressure light in dash board when I stop the car in the traffic stops and when I drive it, it goes away. It has 148900 miles on it. It doesnt comes often and sometimes shows up and goes away. Is it going to be a problem for me in future?
Well, yes, of course low oil pressure is going to be a problem if that's what's actually going on. You should check that you have enough oil, and verify the oil pressure using a mechanical gauge.
Check your engine oil and make sure it is at the proper level. At least rule that out. I had a friend many years back whose Honda engine was damaged because he was running very low on engine oil. Even after that ‘low oil pressure’ light came on, he chose to ignore it and after several hundred miles on the highway the engine seized on him from lack of lubrication. Don’t be that guy.
Check engine oil level; it could also be a bad oil pressure sensor.
Omg. I just had this problem with a friend. His Prius gave a low pressure warning as he started diving and when slowing down. Went to check the oil. NOTHING. Just a dark dot of oil on the dipstick. We put oil in it ASAP. 3 ½ quarts to get it to the proper spot.
Check your oil. Add more if necessary.
Hopefully, you just need to get a new oil pressure sending unit and make sure it is properly (wiring connection) connected. Part number PS639, $34.99 at AutoZone. First, do what @chucktobias said and get a mechanical pressure test to eliminate the oil pump itself as the problem.
