Fixing P06DD Code: Oil Pressure Stuck on Low - 2016 Jeep Wrangler 3.6L Pentastar

[@larryleverett667]

My Truck just hit 170K with the 3.6 and it is doing this. I will replace the fuel filter first and then go your route after trying that. Thanks for sharing and showing this content. Awesome!

[@Starboy-dz1md]

Any updates 😅 same happened with my 3.6 charger

[@JasonLee-lv7tm]

Update is his fuel filter definitely didn’t do anything

Thanks, Urban Auto. Is it possible to remove the oil pump by only removing the lower oil pan? Thx

[@UrbanAutomotive01]

While removing the lower oil Pan is a necessary step, it's usually just the beginning. this allows for the drainage of oil and initial access to the internal lower engine area.You would typically need to remove the timing chain and front engine cover to access the oil pump. This is a more involved process that requires careful alignment of timing marks upon reassembling to avoid engine timing issues. Depending on the specific design and the approach for the repair other components such as the harmonic balancer, various police, and possibly the front part of the exhaust system might need to be removed or disconnected.

Do you think I can fix it by just replacing the solenoid?

[@timskidmore6782]

I am having an issue where the oil pressure is staying on high and not dropping to the low mode even when it’s up to temp. I’m not getting any codes and I just recently replaced the oil cooler.

[@josue9824]

I had this on my 3.6 300 2013 I replaced the oil pressure sensor and it went away.

[@hopalongjohnny9797]

Yep…my 2012 JK is doing it now 😢

[@jasminejpires]

same!

[@ghostsallday]

Did yall check the oil pressure while idling or driving, if so, was it low? I have a P06DE the opposite condition & im running 85-90psi on a cold start & 100psi at operating temp. Thanks

[@timskidmore6782]

I’m having a similar issue, cold star is about the same and operating temp drops back down to normal psi at idle but increases up to 100 given my throttle position.

I have an alfa romeo and recently got a p06dd code. My engine shakes for a little then turns off and goes into limp mode. The dealer suggests a new oil pump but infers that an oil change can help it get back running. Should i try the oil change?

[@UrbanAutomotive01]

Diagnostic Steps: Check Oil Level and Quality: Ensure the oil level is correct and the oil is clean and of the right viscosity. Inspect the Oil Pressure Solenoid/Valve: Check for any signs of damage or malfunction. This may require testing its operation with a scan tool that can command it on and off. Oil Pressure Test: Conduct a manual oil pressure test with a mechanical gauge to verify actual oil pressure against factory specifications for idle and operating RPMs. Electrical Circuit Check: Inspect the wiring and connectors for the oil pressure sensor and solenoid for any signs of damage or loose connections. Sensor and Solenoid Testing: Consider testing or replacing the oil pressure sensor and the oil pressure control solenoid, especially if they show signs of malfunction or if the wiring and mechanical tests return normal.

jeep jk 3.6 I'm getting code p06de at idle 24 psi when at 212f 62 psi at 45 mph

[@jacobmusic2502]

my oil pressure drops to about 13-16 psi at idle. is this indicating a failing oil pump?

[@UrbanAutomotive01]

A drop in oil pressure at idle to 13 - 16PSI warrants invexcavation but it's not an immediate indication of a failing oil pump. Consider all potential causes and conduct a thorough diagnosis to pinpoint the issue. Regular maintenance, including timely oil and filter changes, is crucial and preventing these types of issues. Diagnostic steps to consider. Check oil level and quality ensure the oil level is correct and the oil is clean and of the right viscosity. replace oil filter. if it hasn't been changed recently, replace the oil filter. Mechanical oil pressure test. Conduct a test with a mechanical oil pressure gauge to get an accurate reading inspect for leaks. check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine professional diagnosis. If the issue persists it's advisable to have a professional mechanic contact a thorough diagnosis. They can check the oil pump, pressure relief valve, engine bearings, and other components. Wish you luck and thanks for watching 👀 🙏 😊

That's normal oil pressure on these engines at idle ... actually maybe high for idle

[@autolynx3mar]

Hi i have 2014 sahara 4 dr and i have this code p06dd i replace the solenoid on oil pump And still give me the code. But its weird that sometimes the code is gone for 3 days and it will come back again. What do you think is the problem? Is it the oil pressure sensor switch?

[@davidshepherd-sj2tj]

Could be in the pump itself

[@takuacheperformance4740]

I got a p06DE code. It idles about 12 psi but has great oil pressure above idle. What would you say it is?

[@UrbanAutomotive01]

The P06DE code on a 2016 Jeep Wrangler with a 3.6L engine indicates an issue with the "Engine Oil Pressure Control Circuit Stuck On." This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) suggests that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has detected a problem with the engine's oil pressure control circuit, which is responsible for regulating the oil pressure through the operation of the oil pressure solenoid or valve. This is part of the system that controls variable oil pressure to optimize engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions. Given the symptoms you've described-about 12 psi oil pressure at idle but normal pressure above idle-here are a few potential causes and considerations: 1. Faulty Oil Pressure Solenoid/Valve - The oil pressure control solenoid or valve could be malfunctioning, stuck in the "on" position, which might not affect higher RPMs as much but can cause low pressure at idle. 2. Oil Viscosity - Incorrect oil viscosity can cause improper oil pressure readings. Ensure that the oil used matches Jeep's specifications for your climate and operating conditions. 3. Oil Pump Issue - While less likely given normal pressure at higher RPMs, issues with the oil pump can also lead to varying oil pressure readings. A partially blocked oil pickup or worn pump components could be a factor. 4. Oil Pressure Sensor or Circuit Problems - A faulty oil pressure sensor or issues within the wiring circuit (like shorts or opens) can trigger this code without there being an actual mechanical problem with oil pressure. 5. Engine Sludge or Blockage - Accumulation of sludge in the engine or blockages in oil passages can affect oil pressure, particularly at lower speeds or idle. Diagnostic Steps: 1. Check Oil Level and Quality: Ensure the oil level is correct and the oil is clean and of the right viscosity. 2. Inspect the Oil Pressure Solenoid/Valve: Check for any signs of damage or malfunction. This may require testing its operation with a scan tool that can command it on and off. 3. Oil Pressure Test: Conduct a manual oil pressure test with a mechanical gauge to verify actual oil pressure against factory specifications for idle and operating RPMs. 4. Electrical Circuit Check: Inspect the wiring and connectors for the oil pressure sensor and solenoid for any signs of damage or loose connections. 5. Sensor and Solenoid Testing: Consider testing or replacing the oil pressure sensor and the oil pressure control solenoid, especially if they show signs of malfunction or if the wiring and mechanical tests return normal. Recommendation: Given the complexity of diagnosing the P06DE code and the potential for it to be caused by a variety of issues, it's advisable to have a professional mechanic or a dealership with experience in Jeep vehicles perform a thorough diagnostic. They can pinpoint the exact cause of the low oil pressure reading at idle and the P06DE code, ensuring the correct repairs are made to restore your Wrangler's performance and reliability.

Why theres 2 extra holes that threaded on the windage tray? Wtf?

[@7.62Ak]

I’m getting a po6da code. Car runs fine and oil pressure seems fine. Around 25-30 at idle and goes up to about 80-85 psi while accelerating. I’m wondering if it could be a bad solenoid. Any suggestions? 2019 Chrysler 300s with pentastar 3.6

[@naziermerritCD5]

did you figure it out?

[@williamlawton8151]

Is this a recall Issue P06DD

[@Kiddro22]

It should’ve been. The manufacturer knows but didn’t want to loose money

[@WickWickWACK]

Its a 2 stage with solenoid. Just saying

[@mark006868]

Urban Automotive...In fact, it is not a ''dual-stage oil pump''....It is a single stage oil pump with a oil pressure solenoid valve that bleeds off oil pressure to a lower pressure when commanded by the PCM... The oil pressure solenoid valve is designed to fail in the closed full pressure mode but after the PCM cuts power to the solenoid only a coil spring pushes the valve closed...Any dirt of warpage will keep it stuck in the open low pressure mode....In closing, No one needs the low pressure mode...ever....Full pressure is what all engines need at all times for a long lasting better running engine...You show know this if you are making clips about it...just saying...
