I had this problem during the journey from my house to workplace this morning. the indicator light suddenly on and stable there. if car went through some uneven or got bumps, the light also followed the step like on then off. after reached my office, i turned engine off for 5min and checked the oil level. no problem on this. then while engine was running, i opened the oil cap to test the oil pump pressure. no problem also because can feel strong wind blowing from the hole. during lunch time, i drove the car out again. result same, indicator on and off. car was then parked under hot sun for about 1hr. when drove back, light did not turn on at all. does that means sensor problem? where is the sensor located and how to do diagnose on this?
 
The sensor should be inside the engine block or plugged into the engine like the oxygen sensor ... monitor your car for few more days see if got the same problem or not .. my dad's toyota unser also got this problem before but it happens because of the engine oil really empty already .. test your engine oil level when the engine is less hot :)
 
nop, confirmed is not the oil because this morning i checked again and the oil level is full. anyone had this problem before? suprisingly the indicator light did not on since yesterday lunch time. i'll monitor this for few more days.
