Have vehicle scanned to determine if any codes are stored. ================= actually i haVE this problem still with my 2002 lw200 wagon, i did get it scanned and the dealer said it was nothing and reset it or something because it was off for about a day *again* so unless you got your own code scanner MAKE SURE you are there and watching what really comes up when it gets scanned... also i dont have the owner's manual so i dont even know what check engine light means other then the obvious also FYI the dealer told me this usually happens from the gas cap not being on completely/properly < not so for me, i even checked the fuses n stuff myself along with other things but everything seems fine except i find the motor sounds a tiny bit louder and it almost sounds like the lifters are sticking (almost a clicky engine knock when exelerating :(.,if you figure anything else i'd love to hear, im gonna get mine scanned AGAIN by a private mechanic tomorow so hopefully i will find out and post my results here

The light is NOT a low oil light. It is a low OIL PRESSURE light. You can drive it until the engine seizes. Of course internal engine damage will start to occur as soon as the light comes on and you have no oil pressure if you continue to drive the vehicle.
