Default 91 Caravan oil light

Once and awhile if i make a fast turn or stop quickly....
the oil light comes on then goes back off after 30-60 seconds!
I checked the oil and it's full.
Could the oil pump be going or could it be something else?
Thanks

Check the wire from the oil sending unit. It might have a bare spot that is grounding out agaist the chasis or engine whe you make hard stops or turns.

If you have a lot of miles on the van, try a pressure switch and ck your harness for a bare wire.

The van has 109,000 on it and runs great!
The wires to the sensor look fine.
Thanks for your past replies!
