Default oil temp sensor wire diagram
anyone have a diagram as to where these wires go? mine are broken near the harness and i cant get access to strip them back and solder some extensions on. id like to just run all new wires from wherever then come from if possible.
do they go to the pcm?

Im not sure of the wires you broke. A picture would help. Here are the grounds as well. G105 goes to the block I believe

That schematic is NOT what you need. You are wanting the oil temperature sensor info.

What year do you have??????

That schematic does not have the oil TEMPERATURE sensor on it so it is not the one you need.

Just verified all years go to the IPC. Do you really want to pull new wires from there?

Is there somewhere I can intersect it from? The diagram he posted does have the temp sensor. It's on the bottom left, it's just at the ipc.

I'd rather not go from there but I don't think the ipc is hard to pull? I'm sure it's easyier then pulling a turbo or down pipe that's for sure lol.
I made a temp fix, hopefully it holds for awhile, if not I'm pulling new wire.

That is the COOLANT temp GAUGE not the OIL temp sensor. Your post says you are looking for the OIL temp sensor. Which are you looking for?

Diagram states its the sensor and its located at the bottom left side of the motor. Which is where its located. This is for a 2000 but all my graphs have it in the same location.

Ok great, thanks. I'm hoping the fix I just did holds for awhile, if not I'll be tuning new wire.

Thanks for your help.
