Kadjar Oil Temperature Sensor Issue

Renault Kadjar 2015 diesel, 175225 km. Warning light and error memory issue, plus oil pressure light occasionally on. Diagnostics say engine oil temperature sensor. Could a faulty cable or plug be the cause?

I had similar symptoms on my Kadjar, though I don't know if it was exactly the temperature sensor. The erratic oil pressure light, especially, sounds familiar. Did the diagnostics specifically point to the sensor, or did it just show a generic error code? Have you checked the oil level to rule that out?

Diagnostics specifically mentioned the engine oil temperature sensor. The error code was related to implausible signal from the sensor. The oil level is normal, I check it regularly. Could the sensor be faulty even with a normal oil level?

An implausible signal points pretty strongly to the sensor itself or its wiring. It's hard to say definitively without hands-on testing, but I would advise against driving it too much like that. I ended up taking mine to a workshop, and after replacement, no more issues.

Based on your experience and the diagnostic results, I will schedule an appointment with a reputable workshop to have the engine oil temperature sensor and its connections inspected. The estimated repair cost of 95€ seems reasonable.
