| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0196 | Engine Oil Temperature Sensor (Range/Performance) |
| P0197 | Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Low |
| P0198 | Engine Oil Temperature Sensor High |
DESCRIPTION
The resistance of the thermistor within the oil temperature sensor changes in accordance with variations in the oil temperature. The method for connecting the oil temperature sensor and the ECM is the same as for the intake air temperature sensor.
Tech Tips
If any DTC is stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During operation of fail-safe mode, the ECM sets the engine oil temperature determined value at 70°C (158°F). Operation of fail-safe mode continues until the ECM restores normal operation.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0196 | Despite estimated engine oil temperature is higher than 45°C (113°F), engine oil temperature sensor value is lower than 45°C (113°F). (2 trip detection logic) |
|
| P0197 | Engine oil temperature sensor voltage is less than 0.203 V for 0.5 seconds or more. (1 trip detection logic) |
|
| P0198 | Engine oil temperature sensor voltage is more than 4.698 V for 0.5 seconds or more. (1 trip detection logic) |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
When a cold engine start is performed and then the engine is warmed up, if the Engine oil temperature sensor value is less than specified value, it is determined that a malfunction has occurred. If this is detected in 2 consecutive driving cycles, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the engine oil temperature sensor and stores a DTC.
The ECM monitors the sensor voltage and uses this value to calculate the engine oil temperature. When the sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the engine oil temperature sensor circuit and stores a DTC.
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Clear DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation) Click here.
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Start the engine and warm it up until the engine oil temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher.
With the vehicle stationary, depress the accelerator pedal and maintain an engine speed of between 2500 and 3000 rpm for 40 seconds or more [A].
Drive the vehicle at 10 km/h (6.25 mph) or more for 1 minute or more [B].
CAUTION:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
Read pending DTCs.
Tech Tips
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P0196, P0197 or P0198.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
| N/A |
|
Tech Tips
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the test result is INCOMPLETE or N/A and no DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs Click here.
Tech Tips
If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Tech Tips
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
When the DTC is output, check the engine oil temperature using the GTS. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Engine Oil Temperature. If the Engine Oil Temperature value is lower than the actual engine oil temperature, the engine oil temperature sensor circuit may be malfunctioning. In this case, check the wire harnesses and connectors (and those connections) between the ECM and the engine oil temperature sensor first.
PROCEDURE
READ VALUE USING GTS (ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Engine Oil Temperature.
Read the value displayed on the GTS.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| -40°C (-40°F) | A |
| 215°C (419°F) | B |
| Between 75 and 100°C (167 and 212°F) | C |
Tech Tips
If there is an open circuit, the GTS indicates -40°C (-40°F).
If there is a short circuit, the GTS indicates higher than 215°C (419°F).
