Put a manual gauge on it to verify there is no oil pressure. If that is true then time for engine overhaul. If you have decent oil pressure then there is a oil gauge circuit problem.

any type analog pressure gage will work, in the past have used air pressure gage, threaded in place of oil pressure sensor, to check pressure. Just make sure threads are the same. there are trouble codes for oil pressure sensor, I saw hi and lo pressure codes. two wire connector at sensor, one is 5 volt ref, the other is ground. I'd think the 5 volt ref, goes hot with key on.
