1.6 hdi oil level sensor OHM

[mrvf]

Hi,

Wont have oil check, give me blinking oil check - -

To catch the fault anyone know ohm that oil level work? just to put the resistor in plug and see if its ok

The oil level sensor is not a simple resistor.

When it is operated, a current is put through it and it heats up, changing the resistance, but part of it is cooled by the oil, so the resistance changes less, and the oil level is calculated from the rate of change of resistance.

Thanks for the help.

Buy new sensor from valeo and have got same error

When switch on got "oil- -" and on diagbox got under instrument panel "oil level information fault"

Always check using the dipstick - never rely solely on the electronic check. Sometimes if the engine is over 40 degrees C it can throw a fault when measuring. Try when the engine is cool / cold and at least half an hour after the ignition has been switched off before trying again. Normally this will correct itself - but if it does it all the time, there may be another issue.
