Hi There, Normally, the dipstick should not have any impact on whether the vehicle will run or not. If there is an oil leak of some kind that has caused the oil level to drop substantially resulting in the oil pressure light coming on, this may have caused the computer to shut the engine down by putting it into "safe mode" in order to prevent any damage to the motor. I would recommend having a professional from YourMechanic come to your location to diagnose and inspect your vehicle.
