It means your oil temperature is too hot, if this is on when you vehicle is cold it is probably just a sensor error. The only other reason it would be on is if you are driving your vehicle really hard...

How do you get this sensor to reset? Mine has been coming on now for a week. When i took it to Firestone, they found nothing wrong, no codes. Nothing. How do i know its the sensor?
