Cylinder contribution test

I tried a cylinder contribution test with AE and it sounded like it tested one cylinder and then it gave a code " engine oil temp sensor". Does the oil temp have to be at a certain temp before a cylinder contribution test will happen ? No CEL

Oil temp needs to be above, and stay above 150f.
