    If warning lights (e.g. battery, ABS, SRS, or others) start appearing in concert with one another on the dash, immediately suspect the alternator.

    Here's how to easily test your charging system:

    The title to your question is about oil pressure, so I'm not sure if what I gave you is relevant. The picture is not real clear. If not, the diesel engine troublshooting link below may help:

    Ensure oil and filter have been recently changed and the oil comes to the "FULL" level. Verify oil pressure with a known good mechanical gauge. Oil pressure may be too low. The cutoff will shut the engine down when the oil pressure is too low.
