Not sure what you mean by negative terminal. There is only a single wire and connection on the switch. Not got code I’m afraid

Do you have an aftermarket alternator or original. Check your BSD line on your alternator

Ok will have a look tomorrow (almost midnight here) and run another diagnostic. Everything was fine, apart from oil leak prior to changing switch. At least it stopped the leak 😆

Still not solved it. Cleared codes and left negative battery cable off for about 20 minutes. Oil pressure warning still there. Have checked outside temperature sensor and cleaned connection as apparent these can cause other faults if not working properly. Not had time to look at alternator. Battery is healthy and fully charged. Being a pre LCI car it has a dipstick for oil level. Is there also a level sensor near oil filter that might affect this?

The level sensor should be on the oil pan
