I have a 1997 Chrysler Concorde 3.5 dual cam V6.  Once in a while when
idling the oil light blinks, just started doing it.  My thoughts are
to remove the oil pressure sensor and if possible screw in an oil

I have been using an Actron CP9145 scanner for several years on my own
vehicles.  None of these has been newer than 2001.  Yesterday, I tried
