Judgment Value

MALFUNCTION CRITERIA AND THRESHOLD VALUE REFERENCE

Malfunction Criteria Threshold Value
Engine oil temperature < 15°C(59°F)
After engine start oil temperature sensor characteristic diagnosis timer. ≥ Judgment value for after engine start oil temperature sensor characteristic diagnosis timer

After engine start oil temperature sensor characteristic diagnosis timer (timer for diagnosis).

  1. Timer stop at fuel cut
  2. During the driving conditions except a) above, timer counts up as follows.

64 milliseconds + TOILCNT milliseconds (at the time of 64 milliseconds).

Where, TOILCNT is determined as follows,

TOILCNT = 0 at idle switch ON

For TOILCNT at Idle switch off, refer to the following table.

After engine start oil temperature characteristic diagnosis timer judgment value (t).

t = 1882940 - 43302 x Ti (t ≥ 1882940)

Ti = The lowest coolant temperature after starting the engine.

Time Needed for Diagnosis:  Undetermined

Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination:  Illuminates when malfunction occurs in 2 continuous driving cycles.
