This light and warning horn fault of coming on around 2200 rpm is still plaguing me. I have spoken with a most highly reputable shop and was advised this is problematic only in the sense that the dynamic system is not working properly, gives erroneous information, and causes near heart attacks. It COULD indicate loss of oil and pressure, but most often not. It's mainly a big annoyance, but one you definitely want to check out. The oil pressure switches are readily available, but the circuit board that goes in the dash pod is not. It seems to be NLA. This raises a problem on how to deal with this. GoWesty makes blue ribbon replacement kit, and it addresses this issue, but it's pricey. The other option and the one suggested, and also used by the shop, was to install an oil pressure and temperature guage. The one thing I still am not sure about, was the recomendation to remove the wire from the high pressure switch by the water pump pully, and groung it to the block or frame. Any ideas about that?
