P0196 - ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE (EOT) SENSOR CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE
| Description: | Indicates the value from the EOT sensor is not within the powertrain control module (PCM) predicted engine oil temperature range, based on other PCM inputs. | |||
| Possible Causes: |
|
|||
| Diagnostic Aids: | The EOT rationality test looks for the EOT sensor value to be within a calibrated delta of the PCM predicted engine oil temperature. Make sure the EOT sensor reading is similar to the engine temperature. If the EOT reading greatly differs from engine temperature, check the EOT circuitry for correct operation. | |||
| Application | Key On Engine Off | Key On Engine Running | Continuous Memory | |
