Theory Of Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Dodge Durango. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

After the general temperature rationality diagnostic passes, the PCM compares the Oil Temperature Sensor value to a threshold based on the other temperature sensor values. If the difference is greater than a calibrated value, the diagnostic fails.
