DTC P0196 Engine Oil Temp. Sensor Range/Performance: DTC Detecting Condition

DTC DETECTING CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

Item		Detecting Condition	Possible Cause
DTC Strategy	Case1)	Sensor signal implausible Low	Contact resistance in connectors Faulty OTS
	Case2)	Sensor signal implausible High
	Case 3)	Sensor signal stuck
Enable Conditions	Case1)	Engine Oil temp. model > 70°C (158°F) Engine coolant temperature at start < 53°C (127.4°F) No relevant failure 6 < Battery voltage
	Case2)	Engine coolant temperature < 70°C (158°F) No relevant failure 6 < Battery voltage
	Case 3)	Minimum Oil Temperature model increase > 50-100°C (122-212°F) depending on ECT at engine start Modeled coolant temp. or measured coolant temp. > 85°C (185°F) Engine coolant temperature at start < 40°C (104°F) No relevant failure 6 < Battery voltage
Threshold Value	Case1)	Measured oil temperature < 20°C (68°F)
	Case2)	Measured oil temperature > 100°C (212°F)
	Case 3)	Measured oil temperature increase < 17-35°C (30-63°F) (Threshold depends on Coolant temperature at start)
Diagnostic Time	Case1)	15 seconds
	Case2)	15 seconds
	Case 3)	10-30 min. (depends on Engine Coolant Temp. and driving condition at start)
MIL On Condition		2 Driving Cycles
