The warning light on my 2005 Tahoe came on stating " Low Oil Pressure", I looked at my gauge at the needle was sitting on "0", I pulled over and checked to make sure the oil levels were full, which they were. I drove the rest of the 2 miles home and parked it. There were no noises or chugging in the engine that I noticed. Is there any way of trouble shooting to see if it is sensory unit or gauge without any special tools?

You need a mechanical gauge to check properly-you can try removing the oil pressure gauge and crank it over and see if oil comes out, I say get a gauge
