2012 Jeep Wrangler JK Factory Service Manual 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics

P0198-ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH

P0198-ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH



For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.



Possible Causes

(G224) ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
(G224) ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
(K200) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).


1. DTC IS ACTIVE


1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.


Is the status Active for this DTC?

Yes


No


2. CHECK THE (G224) ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE



1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Engine Oil Temperature Sensor harness connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Measure the voltage of the (G224) Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Signal circuit at the Engine Oil Temperature Sensor harness connector.


Does the voltage measure above 5.2 Volts?

Yes


No


3. CHECK THE (G224) ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE



1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the (G224) Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Signal circuit between the Engine Oil Temperature Sensor harness connector and the PCM C1 harness connector.


Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

Yes


No


4. CHECK THE (K200) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE



1. Measure the resistance of the (K200) Sensor Ground circuit between the Engine Oil Temperature Sensor harness connector and the PCM C1 harness connector.


Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

Yes


No


5. CHECK THE ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR



1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, clear DTCs.
3. Turn the ignition off.
4. Reconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
5. Connect a jumper wire between the (K200) Sensor Ground circuit and the (G224) Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Signal circuit in the Engine Oil Temperature Sensor harness connector.
6. Turn the ignition on.
7. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.


NOTE: The scan tool should display an P0197-Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Low DTC with the jumper wire in place.


Does the scan tool display the DTC as described above?

Yes


No


6. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE


1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Engine Oil Temperature Sensor and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
4. Monitor the scan tool data relative to this circuit and wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
5. Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
6. Perform any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.


Were any problems found?

Yes


No
