Circuit description and component location
The oil temperature sensor monitors oil temperature and passes the information to the ECM through the sensor harness. If oil temperature climbs too high with engine protection enabled, a derate can occur. On the M11 the oil temperature sensor is on the engine block behind the ECM; on the N14 it is in the lubricating oil pump housing.
Sensor resistance changes with temperature, from about 30k to 36k ohms at 0 C down to 600 to 675 ohms at 100 C, and the reading is compared against that table during diagnosis. All checks are made with a Cummins service tool such as Compulink, Echek or a diagnostic tool, and inactive codes are cleared once the repair is confirmed.
Applicable truck models and engines
This document applies to Cummins M11 and N14 CELECT Plus (1995-98) electronic engines and is filed under the CELECT Plus diagnostic trouble codes group, so it suits on-highway and industrial installations that run these engines. For engine specifications and dealer support, see the official Cummins support site at the Cummins engine support portal. The full PDF is part of the oil temperature sensor circuit chapter of the CELECT Plus fault code series held in the DiagTechPro manuals library.
Who needs this Cummins fault code 213 manual
Truck technicians and workshop owners need this document when a yellow lamp warns of a oil temperature sensor circuit problem on M11 or N14 CELECT Plus engines, so they can follow the factory pin checks, resistance measurements and step-by-step decisions instead of guessing at parts.
