DTC Descriptors

DTC P06DD

Engine Oil Pressure Control Solenoid Valve Stuck Off

DTC P06DE

Engine Oil Pressure Control Solenoid Valve Stuck On

Circuit/System Description

The engine oil pressure control solenoid is a two port solenoid valve used to control engine oil pressure inside the mechanical engine oil pump. The ECM controls the commanded states of the engine oil pressure control solenoid with the following ECM input's.

  • Engine Speed
  • Engine Oil Temperature (calculated from the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor)
  • Engine Oil Pressure
  • Engine Run Time

With the engine oil pressure control solenoid commanded Off, engine oil pressure is higher. When commanded On engine oil pressure is lower. The purpose of this diagnostic is to isolate either a stuck on or stuck off engine oil pressure control solenoid.

Circuit/System Verification

NOTE: The engine oil level and condition has a major impact on the engine oil pressure control system. Debris in the oil can interfere with the engine oil pressure control solenoid valve operation. Inspect for dirty or degraded crankcase oil. The engine may require an oil change. Inquire with the customer when the last oil change was performed. You may also monitor the scan tool Engine Oil Life Remaining parameter. Advise the customer an oil change may be required.

1. Verify correct engine oil level and condition.

2. Engine Running, increase and maintain the engine speed at 1, 800 RPM.

NOTE: Selecting the scan tool line graph function may make it easier to identify Engine Oil Pressure changes.

3. Verify the scan tool Engine Oil Pressure parameter changes greater than 30 kPa (4 PSI) when commanding the Engine Oil Pressure Control Solenoid On and Off.

  • If the parameter does not change

Replace the Q44 Engine Oil Pressure Control Solenoid.

  • Go to next step: If the parameter changes

4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

5. Verify the DTC does not set.

  • If the DTC sets

Refer to Oil Pressure Diagnosis and Testing.

  • Go to next step: If the DTC is not set

6. All OK.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the repair.
