Default Low Oil light

The last two times that I've started my car, the "low oil" light has stayed..Checked the oil, and it was full..Shut the car off, and restart it, the light is gone. Whats goin' on? Could it be the sensor in the side of the oil pan, since the wire is SO CLOSE to the drivers' side header?? How do I check that?? Any ideas?

Mine does the same thing and I'm planning on replacing the sensor the next time I change the oil.
