Oil TEMP Sensor Location?
Hooked up an iPhone obd-ii reader, and see that the code for oil TEMP is showing -40C. The pcm is putting out a value on the CAN bus, yet wondering what -40C means? Is it a phantom-code, or is there really a sensor that's gone bad? I believe I've found the oil PRESSURE sensor, yet can't find an oil TEMP sensor.
Is there really an oil TEMP sensor on this motor? Thanks! |

Re: Oil TEMP Sensor Location?

Re: Oil TEMP Sensor Location?
No CEL or MIL code.
Reading the CAN Bus with a ELM 327, to EngineLink. CAN Bus code is 015C. Value reported is -40C. Engine Coolant, Throttle Position, Relative Throtttle Position, Boost/Vacuum, Engine RPM, Speed, etc, all return valid values. 98 1.8L Auto. Last edited by sbagdon; 10-15-2013 at 05:55 AM. |

Re: Oil TEMP Sensor Location?
Could be wrong here but I do not think you have an oil temp sensor in that car, so you see a default reading.

Re: Oil TEMP Sensor Location?
After doing some digging on Alldata, I agree with Max. Not seeing a oil temp sensor called out on that vehicle. So a default reading it is.
