    Question about the OBC and test 16 OELTEMP says --C, why is there no measurement

    I read a thread on how to get to the OBC tests by holding the control check button on the dash and entering the sum on the last 5 digits of the VIN.
    Anyways, I scrolled through all 21 tests and everything is fine except test 16 which doesn't give a oil temp reading.
    Test 7 KMPT say 89deg C which I guess is water temp, seems like all the tests are fine except the oil temp.
    What could be wrong and is a sensor isn't working why didn't I get an errow code.

    I don't think these have oil temp sensors, like a M5. On an M5 it might show something.
    Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
    Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.
