Default Oil Pressure Light Comes On/Off when braking

My 2002 RX300 Oil Pressure Light will turn on and thne off when breaking. I recently had the valve covers replaced. There's no rattling or noises coming from the car, only the oil pressure light at breaking. Please assist. Thanks

Did you check the oil level?

Seconded on oil level. You should have an oil level sensor in the No. 1 (upper) oil pan on the passenger side. I've braked hard in my ES's and had the light come on (filled with the full 5 quarts), but most of the time it's due to low oil level (below 3.5 quarts).

Yes, the oil level was in range. I will be changing the oil later today. I will post an update afterwards.
