Oil pump or just a sensor?

20K on my new rebuilt northstar motor (98 Eldorado 4.6 V8). All was fine until today while driving at 25MPH the bells went off and the dash said "no oil pressure-STOP MOTOR" which I immediately did. There were no noises in the motor such as lifters or rod bearings when this happened, and no red lights. I let it cool down for two hours and restarted it to find the dash alert and the bells are no longer active??? I checked the oil and it is full. Could this be (hopefully) a sensor?Thanks, Bob Smith
