    Does anyone know where the oil pressure sending unit is located? And could that be the cause of your low oil pressure when you still have almost full oil on dip stick?

    You have been seeking answers on this for over a week or more, you need to take it to Toyota dealer or trustworthy mechanic, before you do harm to your car.

    That looks to be in a reasonably "easy" (If there is such a thing when working in a compact area such as the Prius engine bay) area to access. I cant see running into any problems.
