In the durametric scan tool i can go into the cluster, and when i check for faults it reads oil level malfunction, but then below it, it says status: present it just doesnt make any sense!

ok i have battery voltage to the sensor, i guess ill have to check the wires from the sensor to the cluster.

Frequently discussed actions (6)

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Use battery voltage or does it work off of 5v

Does anyone know if this is supposed to use battery voltage or does it work off of 5v?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys, im new here, but have found some useful info here so i thought i would join. Anyway i have a 2001 996 turbo. I get a message sayin "oil level malfunction" when it tries to measure oil level. I already replaced the sensor. It is the two wire sensor not the four wire sensor. No change. still showing malfunction, also i have battery voltage to the connector. Does anyone know if this is supposed to use battery voltage or does it work off of 5v? thanks guys!

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

40 views and nobody has any input?? i guess im the only one to ever have this problem! lucky me.

POST 4Original post

Oil level senders aren't common. The only time I have fixed sensor faults have been when rodents have chewed up wiring.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

ok i have battery voltage to the sensor, i guess ill have to check the wires from the sensor to the cluster.

POST 6Original post

I did some poking about. There are two sensors off the cluster. You sure you have the right one? Both are 2 wires. Both are hard wired to the cluster. Sorry, just poked about in the wiring diagrams briefly- not much time to do so at work. Thats a good thing right? Honestly, I havent repaired oil level sensor issues. Plently- and I mean plenty of oil pressure sensor issues tho.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

yeah i know ive got the right one, there are two different sensors from what ive found. one has four wires and one has two wires. And i have already put a new one in. i havent checked anything at the cluster yet tho. In the durametric scan tool i can go into the cluster, and when i check for faults it reads oil level malfunction, but then below it, it says status: present it just doesnt make any sense!
