Oil Temp Integrated into Oil Level Sensor?

Is the oil temp sensor integrated into the level sensor that is located on the bottom of the pan on my 03 V6? If not, does someone have a image that shows it?

Thanks!!

Anyone? 03 Avant 3.0 is getting Oil sensor error. Is this the sensor in the oil pan? Thanks!

The sensor at the bottom of the pan is for both the temp and the level for AVK.

What is the exact code? It can be the sensor, wiring or the gauge. All depends.

+2, the sensor at the bottom of the pan works two jobs.
1. Oil level
2. Oil temp

Like hxgaser said, check the resistance of the wires to the sensor from the cluster before you replace the sensor.
