Hey everyone,
This is my first post and i'm looking for some help. I recently used an obd scanner to view my live vehicle data ie:temps,voltage etc.. My car, by the way is a 92 z28 5.0 tpi. Everything seemed up to par but the scanner thought that my engine oil was like negative 32 degrees which i know isnt right. I'm guessing that I have a bad sensor somewhere but im not sure which one. I thought cts but I think that its only for coolant. Then I though oil sender but isnt that just for pressure? Anyways, I'de like to fix this. Any input from you guys would help.

Thanks in Advance,
Patrick

 

-32 is the what you get when, its -32 degrees outside, or the sensor, wiring or that part of the computer is "open" A quick test and this goes for coolant temp as well is to jump the connector with a paper clip, If the scan tool , goes from -32 to +250 or higher, then the wiring and computer is fine, and the sensor is messed up.

 

That engine doesn't have an oil temp sender. The scan tool will always report this value.

 

Thanks dude...
