Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. ENGINE OIL LEVEL SENSOR AND CHECK THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE CONNECTION 
    1. Check for loose, damaged or corroded connections on the engine oil level and on the slave Powertrain Control Module.

      Are there any loose or damaged connections?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to 2.
  2. WIRING CHECK ON THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL AND THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE 
    1. Check the wiring for an open circuit or high resistance between the engine oil level and temperature sensor and PIN 35 of the connector on engine side of the slave powertrain control module.

      Is there a high resistance or open condition in the wiring?

      Yes 

      • Repair the open circuit or high resistance in the wiring.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go to 3.
  3. WIRING CHECK ON THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL SENSOR AND THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE 
    1. Check the wiring for a short circuit between the engine oil level sensor and PIN 35 of the connector on engine side of the slave powertrain control module.

      Is there a short circuit in the wiring?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to 4.
