How to recalibrate the oil temp sensor?

[jpp]

Getting fed up with the warning that it's sub zero on a 20 deg day.

How is this done?

Got exactly the same on mine, -2 degrees even when parked inside a garage with 15 degrees outside. Spoke to my local specialist who explained about oil creeping up the cables and giving false readings. I have booked it in with him this week so will let you know what happens..

Bin it and replace. They can't be calibrated. Driver side wheel off, unplug and screw it out of the tank. Catch the oil in a clean container. Stick the new sensor in, fill the oil upagain and off you go.

Interesting - my sensor was new last year and this happened within 3 months. I replaced it myself then in July - same problem. Perhaps contacts need a clean or something like that.

could be. I have a spare. I will check the resistance over the plug and let you know what I get
