Engine Oil Temperature Sensor: Inspection
- Check that the engine oil temperature sensor has no deformation, cracks or other damages.
- Immerse the engine oil temperature sensor and a thermometer in water.CAUTION:
Take care not to allow water to get into the engine oil temperature sensor connector. Completely remove any water inside.
- Raise water temperature gradually, measure the resistance between the engine oil temperature sensor terminals when the temperature is 20°C (68°F) and 80°C (176°F).
NOTE:
Agitate the water for even temperature distribution.
| Water temperature | Terminal No. | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 20°C (68°F) | 1 and 2 | 2.45±0.2 kΩ |
| 80°C (176°F) | 0.318±0.013 kΩ |
