Pinpoint Test DY: Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) Sensor: Introduction: Notes

NOTE: This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
  • Engine oil temperature (EOT) sensor (12A648).
  • Harness circuits: EOT & SIGRTN.
  • Powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650).

Engine oil temperature must be greater than 10°C (50°F) to pass the KOEO self-test and greater than 66°C (150°F) to pass the KOER self-test  .

Voltage values calculated for VREF = 5 volts. These values can vary by 15% due to sensor and VREF variations  .
