Oil reading COLD constantly
Hello, does anyone have any experience of the info centre reading COLD for the oil temp, even after a good run? Is this a simple ender issue?
Regards Andi

Hi,
Obviously the oil is not going to be cold after a trip!! So you have a couple of possibilities to look for: 1) The oil temperature sensor is faulty. 2) The sender cable is faulty. 3) Always a possibility, the connection is corroded/faulty. 4) Finally - could be a faulty guage... Easiest to check the connection by removong and cleaning, and a few on and offs to re-establish the connection. Then trace the cable back if that doesn't work. Check the voltage from the sensor - someone more learned than me can advise the voltage. Des. . .
