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

DTC DETECTING CONDITION

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