HINT:

Make sure that the connector is properly connected. If it is not, securely connect it and check for DTCs again.

Disconnect the engine oil temperature sensor connector.
Turn the power switch on (IG).

Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage

Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
C116-3 (VC) - C116-2 (GND)	Power switch on (IG)	4.5 to 5.5 V
C116-4 (TOUT) - C116-2 (GND)	Power switch on (IG)	0.54 to 4.86 V

Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance

Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
C116-2 (GND) - Body ground	Power switch off	Below 1 Ω
C116-3 (VC) - C116-4 (TOUT)	Power switch off	171 to 189 kΩ

Result

Proceed to
OK
NG

Result:

REPLACE OIL PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE SENSOR. Refer to REMOVAL [07/2019 - ]

Result:

See step 3

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR - ECM)

Disconnect the engine oil temperature sensor connector.
Disconnect the ECM connector.

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
C116-2 (GND) - C88-100 (EPEO)	Always	Below 1 Ω
C116-4 (TOUT) - C88-123 (THEO)	Always	Below 1 Ω
C116-4 (TOUT) or C88-123 (THEO) - Other terminals	Always	10 kΩ or higher

Result

Proceed to
OK
NG

Result:

REPLACE ECM. Refer to REMOVAL [06/2018 - 08/2020]

Result:

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

Result:

See step 5

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR - ECM)

Disconnect the engine oil temperature sensor connector.
Disconnect the ECM connector.

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
C64-1 or C88-123 (THEO) - Body ground and other terminals	Always	10 kΩ or higher

Result

Proceed to
OK
NG

Result:

REPLACE ECM. Refer to REMOVAL [06/2018 - 08/2020]

Result:

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
