P0197-ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW
 |
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.
-
When Monitored:
With the ignition on.
-
Set Condition:
The (G224) Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Signal circuit voltage is below 0.13 Volt for 0.5 second.
Possible Causes |
|---|
| (G224) ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND |
| (G224) ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K200) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT |
| 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. | Ignition on, engine not running. |
| 2. | With the scan tool, clear DTCs in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). |
| 3. | Monitor the scan tool for at least two minutes. |
| 4. | Cycle the ignition key off and on several times, leaving the ignition on for at least 10 seconds at a time. |
| 5. | With the scan tool, select View DTCs. |
Is the status Active for this DTC?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT DTC diagnostic procedure. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).
2. ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
| 1. | Disconnect the Engine Oil Temperature Sensor harness connector. |
| 2. | With the scan tool, select View DTCs. |
| NOTE: | The scan tool should display an Engine Oil Temperature Sensor High DTC as active with the connector disconnected. |
Does the scan tool display the DTC as described above?
Yes
- Replace the Engine Oil Temperature Sensor in accordance with the service information.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).
No
- Go To 3
3. CHECK THE (G224) ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
 |
| 1. | Turn the ignition off. |
| 2. | Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector. |
| 3. | Measure the resistance between ground and the (G224) Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Signal circuit at the Engine Oil Temperature Sensor harness connector. |
Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 4
No
- Repair the (G224) Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Signal circuit for a short to ground.
-
Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM)
- Standard Procedure).
4. CHECK FOR THE (G224) ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO (K200) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT
 |
| 1. | Measure the resistance between the (G224) Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Signal circuit and the (K200) Sensor Ground circuit at the Engine Oil Temperature Sensor harness connector. |
Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 5
No
- Repair the (G224) Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Signal circuit for a short to the (K200) Sensor Ground circuit.
-
Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM)
- Standard Procedure).
| 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
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).
No
- Replace the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the service information.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).
