Oil light stays on zd30

[oddkid82]

Hey fellas the oil light won't turn off, I have got a late 04 zd30 Di. All the oil levels are fine. In the nissan book it says I can still drive the car but under 3000 rpm. Is this true. Need to get home so I can find the problem

Its a common problem with the ZD30 usually you can turn the motor off and wait a while and it'll go away .
Other than that buy a new sender unit

Do you recon I can drive it home? Have tried turning it off for a while and still stays on

Check your oil level first , even disconnect the battery for 1/2 an hour see if that will re set the error

Yours should have 2 oil pressure switches. If one plays up the light stays on. One above starter motor and one under the turbo charger next to oil filter.

It is common fault on your model.

You can check one at the time to to see which one breaks the ground when engine is running. One which does is working. Repeat with engine off, senders should connect to ground if one is not that's the faulty one.

Apparently the resistor should be replaced too. The whole episode will cost you about $400 from Ni$$an stealer. $40 for each oil sender and $140 for resistor rest for really 'complicated' labor process.

Thanks guys. It finally went out. Tried turning it off and on on my way home was all good till I got around the corner from home let light stayed on again. So I think I will change the oil pressure switches on the weekend.
It seems a bit pricey for a resistor. Might just do the two switches first and see how it goes.
