Hi All,

I have an 07 Sebring with the 2.4L 4 cylinder. The check engine light came on, and my tester showed a P0196 code - Engine Oil Temperature Sensor fault.

My problem is that I have no idea where the engine oil temp sensor is so that I can test it and inspect the wiring. Chiltons doesn't have a manual. I also search this and other sites extensively and found nothing. Does anyone know the location of the engine oil temp sensor for the 2.4L 4 cylinder? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

this is the only pic of it

 

Thank you so much for the picture, but unfortunately I can't open it. A message comes up saying that I don't have the privelidges. I am a member and am logged on, so I don't know what is wrong. Frustrating!

 

top of the engine remove the cover look right by one of the dowel pins that holds the cover in place

 

Thanks! And you are positive this is the engine oil temp sensor and not the coolant sensor?

I'll check it out.
