DTC P0524-00: Engine Oil Pressure Too Low: Notes

DTC P0524:00 PCM (SKYACTIV-G 2.5 - WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION) DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

DTC P0524:00	ENGINE OIL PRESSURE TOO LOW
DETECTION CONDITION	After 10 s have elapsed since engine start (including engine-stop by i-stop control) and 3 s have elapsed since the actual oil pressure falls below the specified value. ^1 ^1 : With the conditions met, the engine oil warning light turns on.Diagnostic support note This is a continuous monitor (other). The check engine light illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM. PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle. FREEZE FRAME DATA is not available. Snapshot data is available. DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION	Restricts the upper limit of the engine speed.
POSSIBLE CAUSE	Engine oil leakage Improper engine oil level Engine oil temperature sensor/engine oil pressure sensor connector or terminals malfunction Engine oil solenoid valve connector or terminals malfunction PCM connector or terminals malfunction Short to ground in wiring harness between the following terminals: Engine oil temperature sensor/engine oil pressure sensor terminal A-PCM terminal 1D Engine oil temperature sensor/engine oil pressure sensor terminal D-PCM terminal 1AS Engine oil solenoid valve terminal B-PCM terminal 1CK Engine oil pressure sensor malfunction Engine oil solenoid valve connector malfunction Oil pump malfunction PCM malfunction
