My car's Low Oil Pressure light comes on whenever I brake for as long as I'm touching the brake pedal. It goes away a second or two after I let off the brake. What's going on? Is it a short?

Asked by Zach May 04, 2015 at 06:59 PM about the 2002 Chevrolet Impala FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The low oil pressure light just came on today, I pulled over to check my oil and engine.
The oil levels were good and the engine didn't have any visible issues. After a while I
noticed the warning light only comes on when I'm braking. Just tapping the brake pedal or
sometimes after a second or two it will go off. Is it a short? I'd think if it were any internal
parts the light would be persistent.

I have a used 2002 Impala 3.4 . Theres a strange noise coming from my pulley and alternator area, but goes away or at least quiets when ac is on. What exactly is it, and how can I fix it? 13 Answers

I also have a 3,000 mile warranty from my dealer, and I dont drive much and can't because of the law with CP licences. When I do, the sound annoys me especially next to other cars at a light.
