Each time I start my car ('91 325i), the "CHECK" light on the cluster begins flashing while cranking, but no check panel lights come on, and I have to press the check panel button to make it stop. I have oil and coolant, I can't find any burnt out bulbs, and I get the notification even if lights are turned off. It started a week ago, after driving a few minutes I would get the flash, but it was intermittent. within a few days it has escalated into an every-time thing, and like I said, it starts as soon as I start cranking. Its not the normal brake light behavior, that goes off at the touch of the brake pedal, doesn't require a button press. I do think that my oil level sensor may have failed.
I did repair a broken solder joint on my check panel a month ago, to correct a false alert for burnt bulb, but the repair fixed the issue and everything has been fine with it, so I am not sure if they are related.
Anyone have any ideas what is going on? Thanks!
