its a 1997 petrol 2.0 turbo engine.
when i turn key on,usually that oil level shows current oil level and than it turns off,but recently
every time i turn key on,it goes to the maximum than down and than imidiatly again to maximum and down..after that it go offline.

Is that some kind of warning or indicator has a fault?
i have checked the oil level,now is fine,right in the middle (checked on stick)

It behaves like that if it's not getting a reading from the sensor. Faulty sensor or wiring fault?
