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

1. Verify correct engine oil level and condition. Refer to Engine Mechanical Specifications (LCV) Engine Mechanical SpecificationsEngine Mechanical Specifications (LTG) Engine Mechanical Specifications.

2. Engine Running, verify the scan tool Engine Oil Pressure parameter changes 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.

If the parameter changes

3. 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.

4. Verify the DTC does not set.

If the DTC sets
Refer to Oil Pressure Diagnosis and Testing Oil Pressure Diagnosis and Testing.

If the DTC does not set

5. All OK.
