Thread: Erratic Oil Temp

  1. #1

    Erratic Oil Temp

    My oil temp has been fluctuating lately, usually to the low side, down to about 85F. A couple years ago we had a similar problem related to engine grounding but that was solved with a ground jumper to the firewall. That worked well, and the symptoms were different.

    Now, oil temp is very erratic--before it just steadily climbed depending on bus voltage. There isn't any correlation to bus voltage or anything else I can see. All the connections are tight. I'm leaning towards a bad sensor. It's 3 years old/~600 hrs.

    At first I thought it might be the vernatherm but it drops and climbs really fast, like +/-50F in less than a minute. I think if it were an actual reading it would react slower. The unit is a 3400EE non-S.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Dave, please contact us to arrange for a new oil temp sensor. You may want to verify your ground lead hasn't become disconnected or corroded.
