Oil Temperature Sensor Circuit
|
Overview
| CODE | REASON | EFFECT |
| Fault Code: 212 PID: P175 SPN: 175 FMI: 3 LAMP: Yellow SRT: 00-093 |
High voltage detected at the oil temperature signal pin 6 of the sensor harness connector. | No engine protection for oil temperature. |

Oil Temperature Sensor Circuit |
 |
Circuit Description
The oil temperature sensor monitors oil temperature and passes the information to the electronic control module (ECM) through the sensor harness. If the oil temperature becomes too high and the engine protection is enabled, a derate condition can be incurred, possibly leading to shutdown.
Component Location
- M11 – The oil temperature sensor is located on the engine block behind the ECM.
- N14 – The oil temperature sensor is located in the lubricating oil pump housing.

The resistance of the sensor varies with the temperature. Compare the reading with this table.
| Temperature (°C) | Temperature [°F] | Resistance (ohms) |
| 0 | 32 | 30k to 36k |
| 25 | 77 | 9k to 11k |
| 50 | 122 | 3k to 4k |
| 75 | 167 | 1350 to 1500 |
| 100 | 212 | 600 to 675 |
