DTC Information: DTC Detecting Condition

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
DTC Strategy
  • Monitoring by comparing engine oil temperature, coolant temperature, and intake air temperature
  1. Engine Oil Temperature Sensor (EOTS)
Case 1 Enable Conditions
  • Battery voltage higher than 6V and lower than 16V. Difference of oil temperature between peak and nadir higher than 30 (86°F) to 100°C (212°F)
  • Difference of oil temperature between peak and nadir higher than 30 (86°F) to 100°C (212°F)
  • Coolant temperature or coolant temperature (value of model) higher than 85°C (185°F)
  • Coolant temperature lower than 53.25°C (127.85°F) at engine "ON"
Threshold Value
  • Difference of oil temperature between peak and nadir lower than 2°C (35.6°F) to 35°C (95°F)
  • Sensor signal is fixed
Diagnostic Time
  • 13minutes (depending on the temperature at engine "ON")
Case 2 Enable Conditions
  • Battery voltage higher than 6V and lower than 16V
  • Coolant temperature lower than 40°C (104°F) at engine "ON"
  • Oil temperature (value of model) higher than 70°C (158°F)
Threshold Value
  • Oil temperature lower than 20°C (68°F).
  • The sensor signal is very low
Diagnostic Time
  • 15s
Case 3 Enable Conditions
  • Battery voltage higher than 6V and lower than 16V
  • Coolant temperature lower than 40°C (104°F) at engine "ON"
Threshold Value
  • Oil temperature higher than 100°C (212°F)
  • The sensor signal is very high
Diagnostic Time
  • 15s
Case 4 Enable Conditions
  • Battery voltage higher than 11V and lower than 16V
  • Above 8hours after engine "OFF"
  • Decrease in the coolant temperature is below 2 °C (35.6 °F) after engine "ON"
Threshold Value
  • Variation between engine oil temperature and the other temperature sensor (ECT, AAT, IAT) is above 20°C (68°F)
  • Variation between the other temperature sensors (ECT, AAT, IAT) is below 20 °C (68 °F)
Diagnostic Time
  • Immediately
MIL ON Condition
  • 2 driving cycles
