System Wiring Diagram

• Not applicable

Function Explanation (DTC Detection Outline)

• The PCM monitors the oil level received from the engine oil level sensor, and the oil level average value is calculated at 10 min or more intervals or when the distance traveled is 100 km or more.

• If the PCM determines that the oil level average value is 15 mm or more above the F mark on the oil level gauge 3 times consecutively, the PCM stores DTCs and displays the wrench indicator.

Repeatability Verification Procedure

1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface and switch the ignition ON (engine off).

2. Verify that the engine oil level is near the X mark on the oil level gauge.
