Engine oil level sensor replacement

I'm working on resolving the issue were my oil temperature gauge is not working - so far it goes from --F to -40F and stays at -40F constantly
So far I have replaced the Hall sensor, engine block temp sensor and now the oil tank level sensor.

The picture here are to show the steps it takes to replace the oil tank level sensor (which according to the wiring diagrams is part of the temp sensor circuit as well)

Next will be to check out voltage coming to the sensor and perhaps to do an adaption by using Xentry.

For now I'm just posting the pictures so others can see the required steps to change out the sensor.

Well done, very well documented Hendrik. I am interested to hear if this sensor replacement fixes the temp readout.

Best....

Working on it, what I have learned so far that when I drained the oil from the tank, engine and hoses the oil level in the tank had been to low which resulted in various error codes.
Now that the proper amount of oil has been added (6.4 QT) all codes have gone apart from the one from the not working oil temperature/level.
So the hunt is on to find the break in the circuit. I'm going to check in starfinder if there is a picture and location for Y94/1 & 2.
