Engine Oil Temperature Sensor: Inspection
- Check that the engine oil temperature sensor has no deformation, cracks or other damages.
- Immerse the engine oil temperature sensor and a thermometer in water.CAUTION: Take care not to allow water to get into the engine oil temperature sensor connector. Completely remove any water inside .
(A) Thermometer (B) Engine oil temperature sensor (C) Hexagonal part height: To approx. 1 /3 - Raise water temperature gradually, measure the resistance between the engine oil temperature sensor terminals when the temperature is 20°C (68°F) and 80°C (176°F).NOTE: Agitate the water for even temperature distribution .
