Low oil light How do you get it off? I know the car has plenty of oil in it. I just put a new tranny in last weekend and it was up pretty high at an angle on jackstands. I fired it up on stands to make sure the car had all gears. Im thinking the angle it was sitting it was enough to trip that low oil sensor in the pan.

Sometimes it'll take a couple cycles to turn off. Once triggered and oil is OK or filled to the proper level the PCM needs to see 194 degrees from the ECT, then ignition needs to be off a minimum of one hour.

Mine was caused by the connector wiring being pulled on by the routing around the tranny cooling lines, causing it to seat loosely in plug. I took connector off, cleaned it all up, rerouted wiring to relieve the stress, put it back together, light off since. Maybe things got moved around when you did tranny install.
