Component  Note  Resistance (Ω) 
Oil temperature sensor Resistance between the temperature sensor terminals. +10 °C= 5620-7310 Ω
    +25 °C= 3500 Ω
    +110 °C= 220-270 Ω

Resistance decreases with increasing temperature.

A test measurement must be taken at both temperatures. This is to establish if the resistance is correct or not.
