Fibbing oil light, Silly thing wont go out! Options

[nitrate]

Hi all,

Just got myself a new old celica. Really nice drive with plenty of power. However as with all used cars there are a number of little things that need sorting. The one i am struggling with at the mo is the oil level light on the dash, it lights up as soon as the car moves from starting. It rarely goes out. It is not the oil pressure, but the oil level. I think this must be a faulty sender or duff connector as the oil level is correctly topped up with 10/30W oil. Anyone had anything similar? Also does anyone know the location of the oil level sender so i can check the plug contacts for fouling as i gather it will be under the car somwere. The car in question is a 94 generation6 celica GT, UK spec totaly standard, no mods. Engine is a 3S-GE 170ish bhp , dash type 180MPH 9K RPM. Sunroof, Hatchback. Also how do you stop the ABS light coming on? Does it indicate worn pads? as i think they are low.

Cheers,
Leigh.P

Greetings all,

Today it stopped raining long enough for me to check a few bits under the bonnet. The pillars in my dizzy cap are eaten away, the rotor arm looks like a rusty iron nail and the air filter was full of crap. I've cleaned stuff up for now and shall renew at the weekend.

Anyway i also took the opertunity to check the fault codes as suggested by Ray405. The codes are as follows:- 3,2,3,5,4,1

The sequence repeats over and over after that so i guess that is all it wants to say. Can anyone interpret?

Thanks for your help.

P.S where is the airflow sensor supposed to be? There is a hole in the top half of my filter housing upstream from the filter with nothing in it. It is just open to the outside world. Is there supposed to be a hole here or is this were the airflow sensor should be? If that is the case could a missing airflow sensor explain a low/slowly oscillating idle folowed by the ocasional stall? Car drives fine otherwise.
