Engine oil light

HIGH GUYS:
Whats up?
My daughter in law call"d and said her engine ouil light came on;
So I told her shut the engine off and weaght a few minites then check it. That she did and she was 1 1/2 quarts low about. She put in more oil
and check"d it again and it showed just a little over full and the mark.But the oil light is still on, I am thinking it will go off once the sencer
picks it up is that right? Or will she have to have it rescaned at the shop on the scanner.
She is driving a 2004 Chevy sports Van
WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS: MANY THANKS

I doubt that 1 1/2 quarts low caused the engine to lose oil pressure. I have seen trucks come in the shop 2 to 3 quarts low on oil and still have oil pressure (and those trucks had 5 to 6 quart sump). I am betting it"s a bad sender. I would hook up a mechanical gauge and see what it says before doing anything else.

IF it's the oil light, and not the check engine light, then she's in trouble. The check engine light should come on once the oil pressure warning comes on.
IF the check engine light isn't flashing, once the computer resets itself and the oil light is off, she's ok until she gets it to a mechanic.
 
Perhaps oil pressure has been lost. After all that's why they installed the dern thing.
A quart and a half low and a pressure alarm I'd check for a oil puddle near the sensor.
