Default Turn off/mute low oil pressure warning with forscan?

I have a 2016 Taurus Limited and at low RPMs the Low Oil Pressure alert happens and plays a loud obnoxious noise. It is driving me crazy. I have taken it to ford and multiple mechanics and there doesn’t seem to be an issue. I have been looking all over the internet to see if I can turn off or atleast mute the alert with forscan and I can’t seem to find anything about it. So I was just wondering if it’s possible. I don’t want to go through the trouble of getting an OBD2 adapter and setting up forscan just to not be able to solve this. Any help is appreciated.

Something to consider,
The better way to approach this is to actually verify the oil pressure with a gauge. Once you know where you stand , you go from there .
If oil pressure is correct, replace the defective sending unit. If oil pressure is not within spec, we start checking as to why..

I have confirmed multiple times that it isn't an issue with low pressure. I don't have the skills to replace the sender/switch and would rather not take it to another shop so I am just hoping I can fix this with forscan.

Just buy the inexpensive sensor on
Amazon Amazon
and replace it by a mechanic for the piece of mind. Taking the check engine light bulb out just because the light is annoying to you is not the right approach.

Some things you might be able to change via scan tool, oil pressure warning is not one of them.
