    Turn the ignition off.

    Disconnect the C3 PCM harness connector.

    Disconnect the Engine Oil Temp Sensor harness connector.

    NOTE: Visually inspect both the component and the PCM connectors. Look for damaged, partially broken wires, and backed out or corroded terminals.

    Ignition on, engine not running.

    Measure the voltage on the (G224) Engine Oil Temp Signal circuit in the Engine Oil Temp Sensor harness connector.

    Is the voltage above 5.2 volts? 

    Yes 

    1. Repair the short to battery voltage in the (G224) Engine Oil Temp Signal circuit.
    2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

    No 

    1. Go To step  3).
  3. 3)  ENGINE OIL TEMP SENSOR VOLTAGE ABOVE 4.6 VOLTS 

    Turn the ignition off.

    Connect the C3 PCM harness connector.

    Ignition on, engine not running.

    With a scan tool, read the Engine Oil Temp voltage.

    Is the voltage above 4.6 volts? 

    Yes 

    1. Go To step  4).

    No 

    1. Go To step  7).
  4. 4)  ENGINE OIL TEMP SENSOR

    Connect a jumper wire between the (G224) Engine Oil Temp Signal circuit and the (K900) Sensor ground circuit in the Engine Oil Temp Sensor harness connector.

    With a scan tool, read the Engine Oil Temp voltage.

    Is the voltage below 1.0 volt with the jumper wire installed? 

    Yes 

    1. Replace the Engine Oil Temp Sensor.
    2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

    No 

    1. Go To step  5).
      NOTE: Remove the jumper wire before continuing.
  5. 5)  (G224) ENGINE OIL TEMP SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN

    Turn the ignition off.

    Disconnect the C1 and C2 PCM harness connectors.

    CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool #8815 to perform diagnosis.

    Measure the resistance of the (G224) Engine Oil Temp Signal circuit from the Engine Oil Temp Sensor harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.

    Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? 

    Yes 

    1. Go To step  6).

    No 

    1. Repair the open in the (G224) Engine Oil Temp Signal circuit.
    2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  6. 6)  (K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN  
    Fig 4: Checking Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Ground Circuit
    GC0027098Courtesy of DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORP.

    Measure the resistance of the (K900) Sensor ground circuit from the Engine Oil Temp Sensor harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.

    Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? 

    Yes 

    1. Go To step  9).

    No 

    1. Repair the open in the (K900) Sensor ground circuit.
    2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  7. 7)  (G224) ENGINE OIL TEMP SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND 
    Fig 5: Checking Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Signal Circuit
    GC0027099Courtesy of DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORP.

    Turn the ignition off.

    Disconnect the C2 and C3 PCM harness connectors.

    Measure the resistance between ground and the (G224) Engine Oil Temp Signal circuit in the Engine Oil Temp Sensor harness connector.

    Is the resistance below 100 ohms? 

    Yes 

    1. Repair the short to ground in the (G224) Engine Oil Temp Signal circuit.
    2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

    No 

    1. Go To step  8).
  8. 8)  (G224) ENGINE OIL TEMP SIGNAL SHORTED TO THE (K900) SENSOR GROUND  
    Fig 6: Checking Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Signal Circuit
    GC0027100Courtesy of DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORP.

    Measure the resistance between the (G224) Engine Oil Temp Signal circuit and the (K900) Sensor ground circuit in the Engine Oil Temp Sensor harness connector.

    Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? 

    Yes 

    1. Repair the short between the (K900) Sensor ground and the (G224) Engine Oil Temp Signal circuit.
    2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

    No 

    1. Go To step  9).
  9. 9)  PCM 
    NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.

    Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.
