Default I got a faulty Oil "level" really temp sensor from ECS tuning!

I replaced the sensor @ the bottom of the oil pan because it wouldnt read for like 10-15 mins into the trip .... so the new one reads, then falls back to cold! so for a month ive been like that hoping it was the wiring harness that someone suggested... just had a buddy of mine whos an electrician swap the new harness in and solder the new to the existing wires and it does the SAME thing. so i guess i have to wait till my next oil change !

Default I thought there was a TSB on switching the wires on the connector to make it work properly

I bought one from autohausaz.com and it didn't read the temperature properly so I put the old on back in.

Now I'm having low oil warnings when there's plenty of oil. I've been to lazy to search for the TSB but I remember seeing it posted somewhere.
