LOW OIL TEMP on dash display
I've been getting a low oil temp on the dash display when the engine is hot and at normal coolant temp. I 'm thinking it is the oil temp sensor/sender. Not much in service manual on the subject. Sensor located at the oil filter housing. Swap out with new and see what happens? No high oil temps.

Man, that's a new one to me also! I've never seen a "Low Oil Temp" message, even when combined with very cold weather and short trips.
I agree with lucky's thoughts about it. Keep us posted.

This is a very odd code to be thrown...get it checked out asap. Hopefully its something very small, best of luck!

This is the code of concern: 60-IPC B1543 H = oil temperature circuit open
Pages 8-658 to 8-660 in service manual explains diagnostics.
either problem in the oil temp sensor circuit or problem in the oil temp sensor
circuit =
sensor =
I have some homework to do, plus I cleared all codes(I only had H codes) and will drive for a day and see what comes back. Will update

I'll probally drive until low temp appears then get it on jack stands and check resistance of sensor(low), voltage from A to B on harness(5v), voltage B to ground(5v) and continuity A to ground. That should cover it. I still hope its only the sensor.
On another note do I have to drain the oil to replace the sensor, I could not find anything on that.
Thanks for all the insight
