Question
How to diagnose faulty oil temperature sensor in engine lubrication systems?
Answer
Compare sensor readings with coolant temperature and test sensor resistance.
Explain
A faulty oil temperature sensor causes incorrect oil viscosity calculations. CHEPQ tools measure sensor resistance (varies with temperature) and compare to coolant readings—replacing the sensor ensures proper engine protection.
