Default oil pressure sensor on obd1?

i have a stock 2000 ex with a boosted d16y8. when i was tapping into the block at the oil pressure sensor, i broke it on accident, now after driving the car for 3 days, my oil light came on. i checked the oil and its fine. could the chipped obd1 ecu be throwing the oil light on because the sensor i broke or is it something else? i didnt think the obd1 ecu even had an oil pressure sensor..? any ideas? thanks in advance

the oil pressure sensor is just a dummy light that turns on at <5psi and is not controlled by the ecu in any way.

is oil lekaing from oil sensor? what exactly did you break?

the only way the light would come on is if the sensor is plugged in and not getting pressure. i would figure that out asap because if you really have no oil pressure then your motor is gonna be destroyed quickly
