Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the engine oil temperature sensor.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the low reference circuit and ground.
- If greater than 1 ohm, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Engine Oil Temperature Calculated parameter is less than -10°C (14°F)
- If not, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit and the low reference circuit. Verify the scan tool Engine Oil Temperature Calculated parameter is greater the 150°C (302°F).
- If not, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the engine oil temperature sensor.
