Troubleshooting: Oil Level Warning

Hey folks,

I have a 02/1999 W210 E300 TurboDiesel that keeps giving me a check oil level warning at aproximately one minute after cranking. I'm in the process of tracing wiring to test continuity.

I was wondering if anyone out there with a similar model with a known working oil level sender and wiring could perform a troubleshooting test for me. Disconnect your oil level sender cable and then turn the engine on and time how long it takes to get a warning alarm. I would do this on my car, but without knowing if this simply indicates an open loop somewhere, I would get nowhere.

Thanks in advance.

Josh

It's a car not a science experiment! Open the throttle!
