Default Start up issue

So this morning, my 2011 5.0 decided not to turn over. The dash said engine overheating and low oil pressure. After a couple of attempts removing key and trying, it started up. There was no reason for engine to be overheating because it hadn't been used all night, any ideas?

We're you parked on an incline?

Some have reported starting/low oil pressure issues when parked on an incline because the truck thinks it's low on oil. But if it's just a slight incline not sure if that'd be the cause

Ok thanks, I guess I'll just keep an eye on it. It's parked on a flat now whilst I'm at work, will see what happens when I start it later and again in morning on the incline.
