Replace the oil pressure sensor ASAP. If the warning light no longer comes on,
rest easy in the knowledge that you had a defective oil pressure sensor.

However, if the warning light continues to illuminate, get the car to a repair
shop immediately and have it checked out -- the oil pressure probably really
*is* low, and continuing to drive it in that condition will ruin the engine in
short order.

You *have* checked the oil level, haven't you?
