Volvo KAD 300 EDC. Oil Pressure Warning before start.

[East090]

Hi, would appreciate any help on a warning I am getting on my starboard engine only. The VOLVO KD 300 EDC engine gives an Oil Pressure Warning with buzzer when the ignition is turned on (after about 10 seconds) no other lights just flashing Oil Pressure warning. Buzzer stops when button pressed but light remains flashing.
Starboard engine is fine two lights after check.

Engine starts fine and oil pressure fine no warning and oil pressure good.

Stop engine and the warning come on again.

Both engines run fine.
Any ideas of why would be really helpful.

Regards
Steve

Thats normal as the system has gone through its test sequence , start engine straight away after turning key , if buzzer and light are on its the oil pressure switch , the one for the light not the gauge , easy to get to .
