Just got the Oil indicator temp fault on the dash, had a car wash then about a min after I left that fault came on.....gonna take it to the dealer but just wondering if this has happened to anyone before, FYI, its the gauge all the way to the left when looking at your gauges.

 

You should let it dry...possibly fault will clear then...

 

that was my first thought as well, left it in the garage since yesterday 6pm, warm weather plus garage is hotter, this morning I started it up and still same thing

 

Possibly water has entered in socket of sensor...

 

I had the same issue a couple of months ago. The dealer installed a new sensor under warranty. It took two days because the part had to be shipped to the dealer.

wow we think alike,

thats what I suppose as well, +1 rep for the quick responses

 

terrific post, thanks for the info, just read that thread and hope its the same simple fix, again thanks for the insight, +1 rep for you sir

 

D, That sucks. Hope its only the wet connector. I'm sure it is. Your car runs great. C ya Sunday

 

yeah its running the same just dont wanna push it without knowing how hot the oil is getting. I will still see you sunday,

 

ok, thanks for the help all, problem solved itself, I believe something electrical got wet when I got the car washed, a day later the code cleared itself and the gauge is working as normal ,thanks again to those who helped me out

 

It got too close to Mike's car (inside joke)

 

 

Solution :last week while driving the 997 s 2005 I realised a warning ( oil temp. indicator faulty ) on the Dashboard screen. I first though it might be a fuse issue. However I did a reseach and found out that its a much simpler fix. Electric conflict caused the dash to remember and save the warning. Thats it, It was NOT a sensor 300-600$ issue . The oil temp. guage went unresponsive and Oil level indicator was also faulty. At that point I felt alittle sad. However I removed the - wire attached to the battery only for about 30 seconds and replaced it back. All was gone and I was back with the gauges working as new. I am glad it was only an electronic conflict and nothing more. One more thing , once the battery is connected you will have a PSM warning. Dont worry it will go off shortly after you drive it. note: its a manual trans 997 S. Hope it works for you*
