Oil temp gauge not working
Hey all,
I have done some searching, but haven't been able to find anything. For some reason my oil temperature gauge stopped working yesterday. I can't be positive, but I think it may have happened after I hit a pretty big pot hole with my right front tire. I did the instrument cluster self test, and the temp gauge (and everything else) is in working order. When I hooked up a scan tool and the "live data" shows that the oil temp is -61, which is obviously incorrect. There were also some codes about "implausible oil pressure," and Carly gave a "003427: engine oil pressure sensor, electrical: short circuit to ground" I have poked around a little bit, but don't really know what I am looking for. I am leaning towards replacing the pressure sensor, but wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas first. Thanks for any help you can give! |

Based on the two codes you've got, the pressure sensor isn't providing a valid signal. Find the location of the sensor, check the plug and wiring to it. Could be that the big pothole you hit dislodged the pressure sensor plug. |

Edit: You were right on the money Sam - It turns out a rodent chewed through the wires after making a huge nest behind my throttle body.
