The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the
symptom(s) described in this PI.


Condition/Concern:

Some customers may complain of a low oil pressure message/light on the dash
and a technician may find a P0521 DTC in the ECM.


Recommendation/Instructions:

If this concern is encountered, follow SI diagnosis. If it indicates that the
Tech 2 oil pressure parameter is low but proper oil pressure is present at the
oil filter housing, inspect the Valve Lifter Oil Filter for debris/sludge that
could be restricting oil flow to the oil pressure sensor before replacing any
parts.


Follow the Valve Lifter Oil Filter Removal and Installation Procedure to
remove the filter for inspection. If the filter is plugged, it can normally be
cleaned with brake/contact cleaner and light shop air. If it cannot be cleaned
for some reason, replace it using the part number listed in the parts catalog.
Do not replace the complete Valve Lifter Oil Manifold just because the filter is
plugged.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each
step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the
remaining steps do not need to be performed.






GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians,
NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of
conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could
assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have
the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and
safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to
your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer
for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
