Kia Sorento oil indicator light on despite full oil level on Kia Sorento

Some Kia Sorento owners report experiencing the oil indicator light remaining on even when the oil level appears full. This issue may be caused by low oil levels due to leaks or consumption, which can trigger the light despite a full oil reading. Additionally, a faulty oil pressure sensor—whether damaged, dirty, or unplugged—can also lead to this warning. Other potential causes include a clogged oil filter or a failing oil pump, both of which may result in a low oil pressure warning light. Contaminated oil, clogged oil passages, and a dirty oil filter are further culprits that can activate the oil light under these circumstances. Owners experiencing this problem are advised to have their vehicle inspected by a professional to accurately diagnose and resolve the issue.
