Low Oil Pressure false alert?
Hey guys,
Its happened twice already, and just bought the truck pre owned. But the low oil pressure alert will come on and it wont let me start the truck. So i have to turn off and remove the key to try again. Takes about two times to get it started, then run fines. This is coming from the truck being driven, and cooled down for about 10 mins.
Anybody ever experience this? What exactly is low oil pressure? Not enough oil? What could be the causes?
Thanks!

Any suggestions?

I've had this happen about 3 times on my 06 with 84K miles on it. I've owned it since 54K. And it's in the exact same conditions you described after setting for about 10 minutes of a full startup and warming period. The only difference is when it happens I don't have to turn my key off or even take it out. I just try to turn it over again and it starts. I have the Lariat with the little Message Center in the Instrument Panel and it just says Low Oil Pressure when this happens. Also, when I check my edge, there are no DTC's???
I was gonna start a thread on it asking about it myself in just the next 5 minutes and low and behold I found yours!
