Pinpoint Test L : Oil Pressure Control Solenoid Faults
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- L1 CHECK THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE SUPPLY VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect Engine oil pressure control solenoid valve C1469 .
- Ignition ON.
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C1469-1 Ground
Is the voltage greater than 11 volts?
Yes GO to L2 No VERIFY BJB fuse F12 (15A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the open circuit.
If not OK, REFER to OEM Electrical Wiring Diagram Introduction to identify the possible causes of the circuit short. - L2 CHECK THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect PCM C1231B .
- Ignition ON.
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C1469-2 Ground
Is any voltage present?
Yes REPAIR the circuit. No GO to L3 - L3 CHECK THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
Yes GO to L4 No REPAIR the circuit. - L4 CHECK THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C1469-2 Ground
Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
Yes GO to L5 No REPAIR the circuit. - Measure:
- L5 CHECK THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE OPERATION
- Connect PCM C1231B .
- Connect Engine oil pressure control solenoid valve C1469 .
- Connect an EOP gauge to the oil pressure sender oil galley port. For more information, REFER to: Engine
.
Oil Pressure Test .
- Start the engine.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, view the PCM Parameter Identifications (PIDs).
- Enable the engine oil pressure control solenoid valve using the PCM PID EOPDC_CMD.
- A pressure drop of 8 psi or greater is anticipated. If the engine coolant temperature is less than 100 °F (38 °C), a pressure drop of 15 psi or greater is anticipated.
Is the expected engine oil pressure drop present?
Yes GO to L6 No GO to L7 - L6 VERIFY ENGINE OIL PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE CONNECTION AND WIRING
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect Engine oil pressure control solenoid valve C1469 .
- Inspect connectors and wiring:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
Is any damage to the circuit or connector present?
Yes REPAIR the circuit or connector as needed. No The system is operating correctly at this time. The intermittent concern may have been caused by a loose connection. - L7 CHECK THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE
- Ignition OFF.
- Install a new engine oil pressure control solenoid valve. Refer to: Oil Pressure Control Solenoid .
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the PCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- Start the engine.
-
NOTE: The PCM PID EOPDC_CMD may or may not be available in the diagnostic scan tool.
If the active command PCM PID EOPDC_CMD is available in the diagnostic scan tool, enable the engine oil pressure control solenoid valve using the PCM PID EOPDC_CMD.
- If the active command PCM PID EOPDC_CMD is not available in the diagnostic scan tool, with the engine running, wait for approximately 20 to 30 seconds, the PCM commands the pump state transition from high pressure mode to low pressure mode.
- A pressure drop of 8 psi or greater is anticipated. If the engine coolant temperature is less than 100 °F (38 °C), a pressure drop of 15 psi or greater is anticipated.
Is the expected engine oil pressure drop present?
Yes The cause of the concern was an inoperative engine oil pressure control solenoid valve. The system is now operating correctly. No GO to L8 - L8 CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and inspect the PCM connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
