CHRYSLER , DODGE , JEEP , RAM 3.6 PENTASTAR CODE P06DD OIL PUMP TEARDOWN

[@xj31]

The 1st time I saw that DTC, it was caused by a torn O-ring on the pickup tube. That was back in 2011 and I haven't seen that since. I have probably replaced 100 of those pumps and I never thought to open one up. Good video, I thought I had an understanding of how that pump works. Now I certainly do. Another thing, the description for that DTC confuses me. If that solenoid were actually stuck off, the oil pressure would be too high at idle and under 3000 rpms. I know they say that the stuck off diagnostic is actually checking for a stuck on condition and vice versa. I just can't understand why they did that

YEAH CODE DESCRIPTIONS CAN BE FUNNY . ALSO TROUBLE CHARTS CAN BE WRONG . THE HARD PART IS UNDERSTANDING THE TECHNOLOGY ENOUGH TO CATCH ERRORS SO CUSTOMERS WALLET IS TAKEN CARE OF .

Hi from Australia, we had a 2013 JK with one of these faults and the solenoid was dead. Replaced the pump and that fixed the problem, but after about 10 months car returned with the same issue. Tested all wiring and solenoid resisuance okay, filter is vorrect, oil kevel us correct, monitored oil pressure on witech and verified pcm activating and deactivating the solenoid. All pressures and other results are perfectly fine, but fault still happens intermittently. We installed another pump and like 1000 km and 1 month all was good, but today car is back with the same fault. 2 hours verifing all again and even comoared to a 2011 Grand Cherokee getting the same oressure readings. Suspect a PCM issue

No other codes ??

[@ocdauto8794]

That’s a good one . Please let me know what fixes it . I have seen faulty oil senders and jumper harness cause this scenario

[@grodskiyvladimir1657]

@@ocdauto8794 well, it has been just sitting as management could not make a decision. We might try to replace PCM, or they might ask us to open a technical case

Thank you that was helpful!

Cool to see inside of one

On mine the O ring on the oil filter adapter cap was bad, it was leaking oil. I replaced the O ring and problem solved.

[@ocdauto8794]

That had to be a bad leak ?!

[@reallycoolguys]

was there a noise on this car? my pentastar makes a strange noise when idling at times. Replaced most of my pulleys, thinking it was linked to a slight wobble on the Harmonic Balancer (which I think killed my alternator)

[@ocdauto8794]

No noise on this car

[@robertozamora8901]

Correct me if I’m wrong, what I understood was bad solenoid would equal high oil pressure all the time? I seen another video that was contradicting. My code reader is telling me “Engine Oil Pressure Control Circuit Stuck Off” I was initially thinking to replace the solenoid before the entire pump. Thoughts?

[@ocdauto8794]

Replace the entire pump with dealer pump but beware there could be other issues . Don’t recommend just the solenoid . This is just my opinion .

[@AlexiDaGreat]

Will the failing oil pump cause misfires?

[@ocdauto8794]

Hard to say

[@Rodneyzoom]

So would you say that when the code comes up that the oil pump is mechanically ok but the solenoid is the culprit

[@ocdauto8794]

Seems to be that . The guts seem to not be worn on this pump in the video that caused p06dd. There is heavy carbon build up in solenoid . Inside the solenoids check ball is buildup . That buildup causes incorrect psi change . Bg chemicals makes an engine flush that may help . Never tried it . Use at own risk .

[@mikematthews234]

Will code 0522 cause this also since it apart of the same system/circuit changed the switch already on the housing ?

[@ocdauto8794]

The oil sender is on the oil filter housing

[@mikematthews234]

@@ocdauto8794understood I changed that already also the housing but that code has been present for months now also the oil light was on while driving that’s why I ask now it’s a no start engine light flashes when key on engine off

[@mikematthews234]

I was asking bout that solenoid I planned on changing it out

[@ocdauto8794]

I have yet to see a oil sender circuit code cause a no start . Also I have yet to see an oil pump solenoid cause a no start .

I have 2014 3.6 chrysler 300, this code only pops on start of engine (Oil pressure on start - 3.3 bars) then after 30 seconds pressure goes up to 5.8 bars. After i delete error code and start vehicle again pressure is 5.8 bars till engine gets working temperature and idle pressure stabilize at 2.8 - 3 bars, when i rev up to over 3500rpm pressure goea up to 6 bars, when revs drop to idle pressure is 2.8-3 bars each pressure is checked by gauge mounted on special Oil filter cap. So in my opinion pressure regulation is working, when code is deleted this never show up until next day when Oil is cold and new start. i wonder why on first start pressure is at 3.3 bars and after short while it goes up, some body had similar problem? How to repair it? Ive changed filter housing with oil cooler and temp and pressure sensor.

[@ocdauto8794]

One thing about engines is oil prime loss . Cars have oil drain back technology usually part of oil filter or housing . If it sets on cold start I wonder if you have an oil drain back issue ?

[@19HarDMaN97]

@@ocdauto8794 i did not notice that problem, oil pressure shows instantly after start and always around 3,3 bars (45psi), there is no time with extremly low pressure. One thing i forgot is that when outside is above 20 deegres celcius there is no problem with that what i describe,

[@ocdauto8794]

One huge flaw with many trouble codes on dodge cars is the poor freeze frame data . They do not list the desired vs actual oil pressure in the freeze frame . Without that info in freeze frame you are left guessing as to why code set .

[@19HarDMaN97]

@@ocdauto8794 yeah i noticed that.. Only P06DD code and "test not complete engine light requested" i heard something about flashing with new pcm software may solve the problem, because technical book says that oil pump must be replaced but its giving good pressures and switches beetwen low and high stage. This thing is driving me nuts.

[@19HarDMaN97]

@@ocdauto8794 I found freeze frames via alfaobd, can you sir take look?

Mine was failing to energize so high oil pressure all the time, which i was fine with, but my wife complained her remote start wouldn't work anymore so i'm in the process of replacing just the solenoid. Old one had a very loose connector on the solenoid body. new solenoid is tight. it was setting code p06da i think. Absolutely stupid idea to put an electrical solenoid in a hot oil bath. it was bound to fail.

[@ocdauto8794]

It’s the oil varnish that really hurts

[@mooosestang]

@@ocdauto8794 It did have some nice varnish on the solenoid body. the rest of the pump looked pristine. very clean motor for 115k.
