Default Oil level sensor -- bad sensor or wiring issue?

My wife's out driving the S4 and every time she makes a sharp turn the oil sensor warning pops up on the guage cluster. She stopped by work and I got codes for the oil sensor (no surprise there) but since it's only happening when she turns I'm guessing it's probably a wiring issue, not a sensor issue. What do you think???

I'm getting the following codes:

00562 - Sensor for Oil Level/Temperature (G266)
30-10 - Open or Short to Plus - Intermittent
00562 - Sensor for Oil Level/Temperature (G266)
29-10 - Short to Ground - Intermittent
00562 - Sensor for Oil Level/Temperature (G266)
27-10 - Implausible Signal - Intermittent


I checked the oil level and it's fine. I'm supposed to drive 1200 miles in the next day but I guess this shouldn't cause a problem???

Default Sounds like the sensor. Keep an eye on the oil temp gauge and see if it drops to zero occasionally.

That's what happened when might went. Easy fix since the sensor is quite accessible.
