NOTE :
• Under normal operating conditions, the oil level is only measured if the ignition has been switched off for
over one minute; otherwise the old oil level value is re-displayed.
If a fault is detected, however, an oil level measurement is made each time the ignition is switched on to

OPERATION
A thermistor transmits a variation in resistance to
a receiver, depending on the coolant
temperature, and a threshold overshoot switch
illuminates the warning light on the instrument

CHECKING
Connect an ohmmeter between track 1 (K and E
engines) or track 2 (F engine) on the sensor and
vehicle earth.
