P0196: Engine Oil Temperature Sensor - Range/Performance: DTC Detecting Condition

DTC DETECTING CONDITION CHART

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
DTC Strategy Case1)
  • Signal stuck
  • Contact resistance in connectors
  • Faulty OTS
Case2)
  • Signal plausibility
Enable Conditions Case1)
  • Engine coolant temperature at start < 40°C (104°F)
  • No relevant failure
  • 6 < Battery voltage < 16
Case2)
  • No relevant failure
  • 6 < Battery voltage < 16
Threshold Value Case1)
  • Calculated oil temperature increase > threshold but measured oil temperature increase < threshold (Threshold depends on Coolant temperature at start)
Case2)
  • Coolant temperature at start < 40°C (104°F) & calculated oil temperature > 70°C (158°F) & measured oil temperature < 20°C (68°F)
  • Coolant temperature < 70°C (158°F) & measured oil temperature > 100°C (212°F)
Diagnostic Time Case1)
  • 10-30 minutes depending on coolant temperature at start and drive pattern
Case2)
  • 15 seconds
Mil On Condition
  • 2 Driving Cycles
