Symptom:
P1799-CALCULATED OIL TEMP IN USE
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P1799-CALCULATED OIL TEMP IN USE
When Monitored: Whenever the engine is running. The code is set if any of the following
conditions exist for three consecutive key starts: The thermistor voltage is out of range
(below 0.70 volts or greater than 4.94 volts)
Set Condition: If continuos erratic thermistor voltage is sensed. The thermistor temper-
ature stays below 80 degree's Fahrenheit for an extended period time.
POSSIBLE CAUSES

TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1NOTE: Low fluid level can be the cause of many Transmission problems. If
the fluid level is low locate and repair the leak then check and adjust the
fluid level per the Service Information.
NOTE: Always perform diagnostics with a fully charged battery to avoid
false symptoms.
With the DRBIIIt, read the engine DTC's. Check and repair all engine DTC's prior
to performing Transmission Symptom Diagnostics.
With the DRBIIIt, read Transmission DTC's. Record all DTC's and 1 Trip Failures.
NOTE: Diagnose 1 Trip Failures as a fully matured DTC.
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
Repair as necessary.
Perform the Shift Lever Position Test. If the test does not pass, refer to Symptom test
for P0705 Check Shifter Signal.
For Gear Ratio DTC's, check and record all CVI's.
Most DTC's set on start up but some must be set by driving the vehicle such that all
diagnostic monitors have run.
NOTE: Verify flash level of Transmission Control Module. Some problems
are corrected by software upgrades to the Transmission Control Module.
NOTE: Check for applicable TSB's related to the symptom.
Perform this procedure prior to Symptom diagnosis.All
