DTC DETECTING CONDITION

Item	Detecting Condition	Possible Cause
DTC Strategy	Determines if the oil temperature value is rational, compared to coolant and intake air temperature.	Poor connection Open or short in harness Faulty OTS PCM
Enable Conditions	Engine run time after startup < 30 sec Minimum soak period required > 270 min
Threshold value	The difference in temperature between oil and coolant temperatures at startup. > 35°C(63°F) The difference in temperature between oil temperature and intake air temperatures at startup. > 35°C(63°F)
Diagnosis Time	Continuous (More than 12.5 sec. failure for every 25 sec. test)
MIL On Condition	Driving Cycles
