Diagnostic Method

When the following conditions are established, judged as NG.

Judgment Value 

JUDGMENT VALUE REFERENCE CHART

Malfunction Criteria Threshold Value
Engine oil temperature <15°C(59°F)
After engine start oil temperature sensor characteristic diagnosis timer. ≥Judgment value for after engine start oil temperature sensor characteristic diagnosis timer

After engine start oil temperature sensor characteristic diagnosis timer (timer for diagnosis).

  1. Timer stop at fuel cut mode.
  2. During the driving conditions except a) above, timer count up by 64 milliseconds + TCILCNT milliseconds at every 64 milliseconds.

Where, TOILCNT is determined as follows,

TOILCNT = 0 at idle switch ON

For TOILCNT at Idle switch off, refer to the following table.

After engine start oil temperature characteristic diagnosis timer judgment value (t).

t = 2400000 - 60000 x Ti (t > 2400000)

Ti = The lowest coolant temperature after starting the engine.

Time Needed for Diagnosis:  Undecided

Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination:  Illuminates when malfunction occurs in 2 continuous driving cycles.

When the following conditions are established, judged as OK.
