Hello fellas. When i turn the key quickly without waiting for check to finish i get low oil pressure warning. But if i turn the key half way, wait for check to finish it shows no warning. Is it normal or should i be concerned about it? Thank you.
 
I'm not sure quite how those work but it might be worth tracking down the oil pressure sensor and giving the connections a good clean (both on the sensor and the connector block spade fittings).

I'm guessing that the quick startup doesn't give the sensor time to send back a reading, which might be causing the error message, whereas performing the check might give the "brains" a few goes at getting a response back from the sender.

It doesn't sound like you have genuine low oil pressure if waiting a few seconds before starting the car prevents the error... but check the oil anyway. Fill it to around 80% of the distance between MIN-MAX.

My car's service is due so i'm gonna order new genuine sensor and replace it when changing oil and do what you suggested clean contants. Thank you for your input again Ralf
