Patrick;

You have two oil pressure sensing switches.
The low pressure switch (4.4) must _OPEN_ between 2.2 and 6.5 psi.
It is located between cylinder 3 and 4
The other switch (13.1) must _CLOSE_ between 10.9 and 14.8 psi.
It is in the vicinity of the oil pump.
The flashing LED is associated with the 4.4 sensor.
The flashing LED and the buzzer occur with RPM>2000 and no switch closure
from the 13.1 sensor.
A loose connector in the engine compartment gave me the LED/Buzzer
symptom . Locate the double connector where both sensors meet. Clean
here.


Good Luck and Drive Safely
