oil temperature sensor

Hello, I’m Pete from the Car Genius team at RepairPal. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this concern on your 2021 Chrysler Voyager. Fault code P0196 can indicate that there is a fault with the oil temperature sensor itself to where it may need to be replaced, a fault with the wiring leading to the sensor, the oil itself becoming too hot or too cold due to a restriction or other mechanical issues, or even an internal computer failure. In some cases this can cause engine operational concerns like a loss of power, engine noise concern, or even rough running. This is something that should be looked into and tested further to help pinpoint which component is creating this concern so it can then be repaired properly from there before any other concerns occur.
