Oil Temperature Gauge Appears Inaccurate
- Turn ignition on, with engine off. Disconnect oil temperature sensor connector. Using Signal Generator/Instrument Panel Tester (J-33431-B), connect Red clip lead to Dark Green/White wire of oil temperature sensor connector. Set tester resistance to 1400 ohms, then 26 ohms. Oil temperature gauge should indicate cold, then hot.
- If readings are as specified, replace oil temperature sensor. If temperature readings are not as specified, check for poor connections or high resistance in Dark Green/White wire between instrument cluster and oil temperature sensor. If Dark Green/White wire is okay, replace instrument cluster.
