Component	Remarks	Resistance (Ω)
Oil temperature sensor	Resistance between the terminals on the temperature sensor	+10 °C= 5800-7090 Ω
		+110 °C= 231-263 Ω

The resistance decreases with increasing temperature.

The control reading should be taken at both temperatures to check whether the resistance is correct or not.
