Oil temperature sensor is located just below the starter motor.

Do you also get the same fault codes and reduced engine performance? |

No fault codes related to this. I only noticed this whilst looking at live data for something else. Thought it was odd, therefore changed it but got same reading.

Ok, strange, but since i have twice as much reading on temperature, ill guess my car woyld appreciate a new sensor. By the way, i have had this autel obd for some years now, and its been great, i even managed to programming aftermarket keys for my fl2. Also, i had it crosschecked when i had issues with the injectors, and it got the same reading as the professional readers they use at mechanics |

I agree, the Autel is very good. I was just confused as to the high oil temperature readings. When the engine is warm the reading does go up considerably but I had no DTC codes for oil temperature. Then I changed the sensor and the reading was the same. That is why I had doubts about the Autel. I still have no idea what the issue is. Car drive's ok with no warning lights or message information.

Gasman, 180 for a temp sensor🫣 then i will reconsider that, i thought i had the sensor laying around, but i think that is oil pressure sensor. |

Interesting about the OTC sensor reading 180C on a cold engine

The same has just happened to me, went away for Christmas all was fine then the other day went to pick daughter up from the airport on the way home the message appeared. Reduced engine performance. No other lights on the dash and it still drove smooth. i took it to my mechanic he done a diagnostics on it and it came back saying faulty battery. he replaced this for a new one and it still showed the message so he put it back on the diagnostics (Autotel) cleared the message and is now absolutely fine |
