P0196 - ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE
| Description: Indicates the value from the engine oil temperature (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 sensor rationality test looks for the EOT sensor value to be within a calibrated parameter of the PCM predicted engine oil temperature. Make sure the EOT sensor reading is similar to engine temperature. If the engine oil temperature reading greatly differs from engine temperature, check the EOT sensor circuitry for correct operation. | |||
| Application | Key On Engine Off | Key On Engine Running | Continuous Memory |
