There is a sensor in the side of the oil pan that detects the level in the pan.
As usual, Shoebox has the info... http://shbox.com/1/low_oil_sensor.jpg
Either the sensor has gone bad or the wiring to the sensor is bad. Mine was both unfortunately but I managed to repair the wiring and the sensor was inexpensive.

I noticed you have headers. Make sure the wire going to the sensor hasn't fallen onto the header and burned through the insulation. I believe if the wire touches ground it will make the light come on.2002 Electron Blue Vette, 1SC, FE3/Z51, G92 3.15 gears, 308.9 RWHP 321.7 RWTQ (before any mods), SLP headers, Z06 exhaust, MSD Ignition Wires, AC Delco Iridium Spark Plugs, 160 t-stat, lots of ECM tuning
