Function Explanation (DTC Detection Outline)
- The PCM monitors the engine oil level while the preconditions are being met and if the traveled distance is 100 km {62.1 mile} or more or the monitoring time is 300 s or more, it calculates the average engine oil level.
- If the averaged engine oil level decreases below MIN mark two times in a row, the PCM stores a DTC and turns on the engine oil level warning light in the instrument cluster.
- If the ignition is switched off after the engine oil level warning light begins illumination, it stops the engine oil level warning light from illumination.
- After verifying an engine oil level deficiency, the PCM re-implements the *1 determination if the ignition is switched ON and if a malfunction is determined, it turns on the engine oil level warning light in the instrument cluster.
