Question

I got the engine code P0196 on my 2006 Ford Mustang 4.6L sensor bad or oil to hot new oil change

Answer 1

Hi there,

This code can come up if you have an issue with a stuck thermostat. If it's stuck open then the engine isn't getting up to the proper temp, it will throw the code. If the engine is coming up to the normal operating temp, then it's likely the sensor has failed.

Answer 2

P0196 FORD - Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Fault
