I already got that part down from reading my manuals when I first got this vehicle up and running a year or so ago. I do realize what the gauge is for and the LED, the COOLANT TEMP and LEVEL. Where I thought it might be the oil pressure is when the gauge was reading normal and there was NO LED flashing (as of when I drive it's this way) and the audible alert beeping was sounding as I would round corners or hit a bump, this led others to believe it might be one of the oil pressure sensors. The LED is no longer flashing after bleeding the coolant lines for air this morning. Have yet to see if the alarm will go off again or not. THANKS!
