Narrative:
Erroneous EICAS indication. After 4-6 mins of taxi we received an engine #2 low pressure EICAS warning. It stayed for 5-10 seconds then went away. It returned approximately 30 seconds later and did the same thing. During this time, all engine indications were in the green/normal. We pulled out the manual and checked procedures if it should reappear. Problem was noted earlier as a previous write-up. Sign-off noted that the problem was not fixed! We did a static run-up. Everything checked good then and the rest of the flight. Maintenance controller contacted and discrepancy written up for maintenance in ord.
