Judgment Value

JUDGMENT VALUE

Malfunction Criteria Threshold Value
Engine oil temperature < 50 °C (122 °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 ms + TOILCNT ms (when at 64 ms)

Where, TOILCNT is determined as follows,

TOILCNT = 0 at idle switch ON

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

  Vehicle speed km/h (MPH)
0 (0) 8 (5) 16 (9.9) 24 (14.9) 32 (19.9) 40 (24.9) 48 (29.8) 56 (34.8)

0 (32) 0 ms 187 ms 212 ms 243 ms 252 ms 262 ms 266 ms 270 ms

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

t = 3600000 ms - 60000 ms x Ti (t ≥ 2400000)

Ti = The lowest coolant temperature after starting the engine.

Time Needed for Diagnosis:  Less than 1 second

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

Judge as OK and clear the NG if the following conditions are established.
