The oil pressure gauge is not related to oil level. Unless of course it is empty, and thus you would get no pressure.

Check the level on the dipstick and fill if necessary. NEVER, EVER let it get so low you get the buzzer. If you've ever seen the level sender in the pan, you'll see how that's very little oil and will leave the pickup sucking air during cornering.

go buy a haynes manual, or look up the FSM (factory service manual) online. It will tell you what the symbols are if you REALLY can't figure them out.

Next time it happens, make sure which of the red lights in the warning light cluster lights up. Maybe it's the *BRAKE* one lighting up??? instead of oil level?????? Or Coolant????

Check the wiring around the sender. If it's shorting to ground, the buzzer will sound.
