Big_Cat Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 My wife just took her Journey in to get the oil changed, when she got back in the car, the check engine light had come on. When she asked the service department to look it up, they said it was just a "stored code" and she just "needed to drive around" until the code turned itself off. I've never heard of that technique of car fixing, but you know...She took the car to AutoZone and they pulled a P1D83 code. Anyone have a clue as to what this code actually is? I haven't been able to find it online. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 That is not a valid code that I know of. Who changed the oil? Did autozone clear the code? Has it come back on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick7777 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Did you ever figure out what the cause of the code was? My wife bought her journey saturday(brand new) and she got the same code yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick7777 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 P1D83 implausible oil temperature signal received. My code reader spit it ous as a generic code, will update once the shop looks at mine on wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh M Posted August 25, 2025 Report Share Posted August 25, 2025 We took our car to get an Overdue Oil Change and A State Inspection. We took it to a Quick Lube, since they are able to do both in one trip. They started with the oil change, and then proceeded to the inspection, they got a code P1D83, which they first stated, "It has nothing to do with what we did". Now we hadn't had a Engine light pop at all prior to bringing it, for months. Maybe years. Now we can't get our new registration because he said its a "Manufacture" Code and they cant do anything about it and we have to take it to the dealership. Seems like they might've messed something up in the process of the oil change. But who knows for sure, will update for future people. I see nobody ever gave insight to what happened with their code.

2late4u Posted August 26, 2025 Report Share Posted August 26, 2025 Code P1D83 Dodge Description The P1D83 diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for Dodge vehicles indicates that an implausible engine oil temperature signal has been received by the engine control module (ECM). This means that the ECM has detected a discrepancy between the expected engine oil temperature and the actual reading it is receiving. Engine oil temperature is crucial for maintaining optimal engine performance and preventing damage due to overheating or insufficient lubrication. An inaccurate or faulty signal can lead to incorrect engine management decisions, potentially causing drivability issues and reduced fuel efficiency.

Test the engine oil temperature sensor using a multimeter to check for proper resistance values. Verify the integrity of the ECM by checking for any stored codes or performing a software update if necessary. Inspect the engine coolant temperature sensor to ensure it is functioning correctly and not contributing to the issue. Replace the faulty engine oil temperature sensor or repair any wiring/connectivity issues as needed.
