Default 2001 Honda Accord Low oil pressure light

I was wondering what would make the low oil pressure light to come on taking hard left turns. This never happened before and it only happens on left turns its a 2001 Honda Accord Ex.

The oil level is fine and this only happens when you take hard left turns, we tried the same thing on right turns and speeding up and breaking hard but neither of those turned the light on. The light turns on and then off but stayed on for awhile once.

Any advice will be appreciated

Conincidental bad connection at the oil pressure sending unit connector just above the oil filter. Or, you actually have low oil. Or, you are cornering WAY too hard

Yea. There could. I would check the wiring to the oil pressure switch first, you don't have to remove the oil pan for that
