Title: Oil sensors and switches
Post by: JohnFol on February 23, 2024, 04:42:24 PM
Afternoon all, just want to double check a few things as my oil temperature gauge is not working

On my dashboard (pic 2) I have :
6. Engine oil low pressure warning light
7. Oil pressure gauge.
11. Oil temperature gauge.

Around the oil filter (pic 1) I have:
2. Oil pressure transmitter (guessing this links to 7. Oil pressure gauge)
6. Oil pressure switch (guessing this links to 6. Engine oil low pressure warning light)
If that's correct, where is the oil temperature sensor?

Haynes (that font of truth) has the following
Oil Pressure Switch...Blue.
Oil Temperature Sender...Yellow/Black.
Oil Pressure Sender...Grey/Red.
Fairly sure I may have some of these wrong way round :(

Hi John,
My Lancia diagram shows Yellow (G) from the Oil temp sender all
the way to the dash. This yellow wire goes through at least 2 connectors en-route.

On the dash connector it appears to be the right-hand plug,
and is in 'number 2' position, from which side I'm not sure.

I thought I was going mad when I saw your obvious answer. I took the image from a bigger picture, and to recover some credibility, it shows the oil temp labelled 6 not 12.... but in top right, it's different..

Nigel, thanks for confirming the colours. Found 2 of mine were swapped  :'(

Hi John

Interesting the main picture only shows two sensors, wonder what engine that is from?

Hi Peter,
My S2 Berlina 2000 only has oil pressure warning light and oil pressure gauge on the dashboard. No oil temp.

Cheers
