These symptoms include: 1. The Oil Pressure Light is on. The oil pressure gauge inside your car will give you a good indication as to the condition of the engine's oil levels. If the Low Oil Light comes on, but you check the oil in the engine and it's at a good level, then a faulty oil pressure sensor may be to blame.Anyway, went out to the car today. Light still on but as soon as I drove out the drive it went off! Grabbed opcom. Light still off even after a motorway run. Mrs in the shops so plugged it in. Getting a couple codes for the steering angle sensor (C0469-39, C0460-5A) both not present and haven't came back.
Diagnosing the problem The first thing a mechanic will use to find out why the check-engine light is flashing, is a diagnostic scanner. Typically, for cars built after 1996 this means an OBD2 port under the dashboard, however Europe moved to the standard later than other regions (in 2001), so take every case as it comes as some cars may need an expensive adapter to carry out diagnostics.
