P0196 - ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE (EOT) SENSOR CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE
| Description: | Indicates the sensed EOT value from the EOT sensor is not within the PCM predicted engine oil temperature range, based on other PCM inputs. | ||
| Possible Causes: |
|
||
| Diagnostic Aids: | The EOT rationality test looks for the engine oil temperature sensor to be within a calibrated delta of the PCM predicted engine oil temperature. Make sure EOT sensor reading is similar to the engine temperature. If the EOT reading greatly differs from engine temperature, check the EOT circuitry for correct operation. | ||

- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
