Oil Temperature Sensor Resistance Test
Temperature Reading (nominal)
0 °C (32 °F) 32.6 kΩ
20 °C (68 °F) 12.5 kΩ
40 °C (104 °F) 5.3 kΩ
65 °C (150 °F) 2.1 kΩ
95 °C (203 °F) 786 Ω
4. Perform a continuity check of the sensor wiring between the sensor connector and the PCM. Note that there are splices in
the ground circuit.
NOTE: The quickest way to check the wiring is to measure the resistance of the thermistor at room temperature, connect
the sensor to the engine harness, and measure the resistance across PCM connector sockets CE1 and CB1. If the two
resistance values match, then the wiring is good.
