10 psi minimum at idle and 50psi at 3000 rpm are needed for the light to be off. If you have this check for a bad ground wire and reset the CEL.
Good luck...i hope this helps

1988 Honda accord oil warning light on, does not turn off. Oil level is fine. what causes the light to come on?

The oil pressure switch causes it to turn on when there is no oil pressure. There is oil you say, so you need to check if there is oil pressure when you start the engine. Simplest test even without gauges is to remove pressure switch and start engine briefly and turn it off. If you have oil pressure you will have oil shooting out of the switch hole. Replace switch. If you dont have check iol pump.

Where is the oil sensor in a 1991 honda accord xl my oil light was flashing on and off then would stay on when i stoped. I changed the oil and switched to 10-thinking the oil was to thin but the oil...

Look on rear side of engine. There are possibly a couple sensors screwed into engine block, but if you purchase oil pressure switch first you will see which one it is.

My oil light started blinking. temp has not increased and there is plenty of oil in engine

Possible problems are bad oil pressure switch "OPU", blocked oil pick up tube or screen, or oil pump.

Start from the easier fix.
Change the oil pressure switch
Clean the oil pick up tube and screen in the sump.
Change oil pump.

Oil light blinking

there is always the possibility that you really have low oil pressure when you get this light, at idle the engines oil pump produces the least pressure and if there are problems then that is when it shows up, so have the oil pressure tested by a shop with a mechanical test gage, if the oil pressure is within spec then replace the oil pressure light sending unit on the engine, I don't recommend you drive this until u are sure of the pressure, u can SEVERELY damage the engine is the pressure is really low.

I just got my oil changed last month, but now the oil light has begun to blink off and on... what could the problem possibly be?

One, always double check your oil level after someone changes it...If you didnt do it yourself that is..But either your oil level is low, or your oil pressure switch is going bad.....

My oil light is on . I change the oil i change the oil pressure switch . I check the pressure with a gauge it goes to 50 when i start it the engine is very quiet but that light drive me crazy please help...

the oil pressure sending unit must be defective - it should be located close to oil filter - if another sending unit is purchased you can compare the two - most sensors only plug up one way - the light should be working thru ground - light may not come on if sending unit is unplugged as a test

Oil leaks from the oil filter adapter

If it is not the suggested gasket that is leaking then it is the oil pressure switch located exactly above the oil filter adapter. The black plastic housing could have developed a crack and oil will ooze downward and drip off the bottom of the adapter. I had this problem and changing the oil pressure switch took care of it.

Oil leaking from some sort of plug above the oil filter

If the leak is coming directly from above the oil filter it is more than likely the oil pressure switch is leaking. The seal around the Oil pressure switch could have gone bad and now it is leaking.

The oil pressure switch is located right above the the oil filter and above the cooling system cross pipe.
