Component Inspection

  1. Check resistance of OTS
    1. IG "ON" & ENG "OFF"
    2. Monitor Oil Temperature parameter on the scan tool
    3. IG "OFF" & ENG "OFF"
    4. Disconnect OTS connector.
    5. Measure resistance between terminal 1 and 2 of OTS connector after checking out the oil temperature with scan tool

      Specification:

    6. Is the measured resistance within specification?

      YES 

      NO 

      • Substitute with a known-good OTS and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace OTS and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
