Oil Level function not working on 02 GT2

Hello I'm trying to get some light on the diagnostic of my 02 GT2, i can't check the oil level because cluster is prompting that the "car is not level"... So far the following action have been done:

Upon several visits at Porsche dealership they have done some diagnostics and have replaced the oil level sensor, check the level sensor of the headlights, check the voltage of some sensors around the dashboard with no luck on resolving the issue...

So after scheduling another visit to verify the functionality of the cluster, apparently (because i did not see it) using a GT3 cluster the oil level function worked, so they decided to order a cluster for a replacement. Upon arrival and installation of the new cluster the issue continued.

But the saga continues, next week they will proceed to re-flash the car (thinking that is because of the giac software) to see if the failure disappear... but nothing concrete (clearly they are guessing...)

i have tried to get info on some forums (e.g 6speedonline, renntech) and i found just one similar issue (back in 2003) of a guy trying to use a TT cluster on a boxter and could not get the oil level reading because the car was not level...

So my question is, does anyone has an idea of where the car gets the feedback to determine that car is level??? have u seen this failure before?? any advice

Litronic lights have level sensors, maybe they tap into that system?

Did you solve the Problem , have the same on my GT 2 . It doesnt seem to get the info via the Headlight nor from Airbagsensor . I can not find a sensor for the Alarm or anything that looks like a tilt sensor .
