NOTE:

To determine the malfunctioning part, proceed with the diagnostics from "Function Inspection Using M-MDS".

Details On DTCs

DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

DESCRIPTION	Engine oil level signal: engine oil level sensor malfunction
DETECTION CONDITION	Determination conditions	PCM receives abnormal signal from the engine oil level sensor. If the engine oil level signal from the engine oil level sensor does not change, an oil level change due to driving conditions can be considered.
	Preconditions	Battery voltage: 10-16 V The following DTC is not detected: Communication error between engine oil level sensor and PCM: U1100:00 Engine oil temperature sensor: P0197:00, P0198:00 Low-G (XY) sensor (built-into SAS control module) signal is normal
	Drive cycle	1
	Self test type	CMDTC self test
	Sensor used	Engine oil level sensor Engine oil temperature sensor Low-G (XY) sensor (built-into SAS control module)
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION	Not applicable
VEHICLE STATUS WHEN DTCs ARE OUTPUT	Illuminates master warning light Illuminates engine oil level warning light Displays a message related to a engine oil level malfunction in the display.
POSSIBLE CAUSE	Engine oil level sensor malfunction Clogging of oil passage to engine oil level sensor detection area Engine oil level sensor internal application specific integrated circuit malfunction Erratic signal to PCM Engine oil level sensor connector or terminals malfunction Short to ground in wiring harness between engine oil level sensor terminal C and PCM terminal 2BG Open circuit in wiring harness between engine oil level sensor terminal C and PCM terminal 2BG PCM malfunction
