Chrysler P1239: Engine Oil Temperature Too Low
OVERVIEWWhat Does The Chrysler P1239 Code Mean?
Once the Ambient Air Temperature (AAT), Intake Air Temperature (IAT), and Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensors have been evaluated the Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) Sensor can be checked. If the ambient, engine coolant, and general temperature sensor rationalities indicate valid sensor readings then the engine oil temperature rationality will assume the AAT and ECT Sensors are correct and therefore can be used to evaluate the EOT Sensor.
What Are The Potential Causes Of The Chrysler P1239 Code?
- ENGINE OIL
- COOLING SYSTEM NOT OPERATING TO SPECIFICATION
- HIGH RESISTANCE IN THE EOT SIGNAL CIRCUIT
- HIGH RESISTANCE IN THE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT
- ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
- POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
