P019515

Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Circuit Short to Battery or Open

The engine oil temperature sensor output voltage is higher than 4.865 V for 5 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic).

  • Open or short in engine oil temperature sensor circuit
  • Engine oil temperature sensor (oil pressure and temperature sensor)
  • ECM
  • Except Mexico models: Comes on
  • Mexico models: Does not come on

DTC stored

  • SAE Code: P0198
  • DTC for Mexico Models: Applies

HINT:

When this DTC is output, check the engine oil temperature in the Data List. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Engine Oil Temperature Sensor.

DTC No.

Engine Oil Temperature Sensor

Malfunction

P019515

Higher than 150°C (302°F)

  • Short to +B in THEO circuit
  • Open in THEO circuit
  • Open in EPEO circuit

If the Data List values are normal, it may be due to a temporary recovery from the malfunction condition. Check for intermittent problems.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM monitors the engine oil temperature sensor and uses the sensor voltage to calculate the engine oil temperature. If the engine oil temperature sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM determines that the engine oil temperature sensor (oil pressure and temperature sensor) circuit is malfunctioning and stores this DTC.

Example:

If the engine oil temperature sensor output voltage is higher than 4.865 V for 5 seconds or more, the ECM will store this DTC.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the freeze frame data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.

  • If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.

HINT:

Read Freeze Frame Data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
