What is EOT sensor?
The Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) sensor is a thermistor type sensor that has a variable resistance that changes when exposed to different temperatures. When interfaced with the ECM, it produces a 0 to 5V analog signal that indicates temperature.
How much oil does a OBS 7.3 take?
15 Quarts
How Much Oil And Fluid Do I Need in my 7.3l Powerstroke?
| Oil/Fluid | Specs | Capacity – Quarts |
|---|---|---|
| Engine Oil | All Years | 15 Quarts |
| Auto Transmission Fluid | E40D 4×2 E40D 4×4 4R100 | 15.9 quarts 16.4 quarts 17.1-17.7 quarts |
| Manual Transmission Fluid | ZF S5 5-speed ZF S6 6-speed | 3.4 quarts 5.8 quarts |
| Transfer Case | BW1536 | 2.0 quarts |
What is TFT temp?
Thermometrics Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor (TFT) measures the temperature of transmission fluid. It provides input to the control module to modify shift patterns for smoother shifting in automatic transmissions, and also provides over-temperature protection by locking the torque convertor.
What does the code P0197 mean?
P0197 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) Sensor Low”. This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation.
Where is the TFT sensor located?
transmission valve body
The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is a sensor that’s typically located in the transmission valve body, behind the oil pan. The PCM uses the signals from this sensor when calculating parameters, such as torque converter clutch (TCC) control, shift points, and line pressure.
What is code P0711?
Transmission Fluid temperature circuit
The P0711 code is a generic powertrain code related to the transmission, including sensor failures and pressure faults. In this case, it means that the engine control module (ECM) or powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a fault or error with the Transmission Fluid temperature circuit.
Can oil temp sensor cause overheating?
The oil temperature sensor is an electronic device within your engine that monitors oil temperature. Most sensors in your engine don’t have a recommended service interval; you just have to replace them when they fail. If your engine starts overheating, chances are your oil temperature sensor is not working properly.
How do you fix P0197?
What repairs can fix the P0197 code?
- Replacing the EOT sensor.
- Repairing any damaged wiring in the EOT circuit.
- Repairing damage or worn sensor connectors.
- PCM repair or replacement.
