I have a 2014 silverado 1500  with a 5.3l, I have the P06DD code, does anybody have any actual solutions for this problem? I have been searching and no one has seemed to actually found a definite reason for this code or solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mine had the same problem. It’s the engine oil pressure switch gauge. It’s like 50$ part from online, which you want to make sure the kit includes the sensor AND the filter screen for it, otherwise you’ll get the same code in no time. The worst part is the labor for it. It’s from build up of carbon in the engine that “gunks” up the oil and gets trapped on the filter sending a code for “stuck in off position”. I looked around and older GM’s you could have done the labor yourself though kinda tough. The 14 like I have, it just so happens to be inside the engine, right below the headers somewhere, which only makes the labor that much more expensive. Overall I’d look around at pricing on replacing the sensor and filter. Bulk of price is almost completely labor related. Mine would come on and off, once I did some work on the truck luckily it just so happened to free up and now is never on. Most people with this problem will see their check engine light come on and off(on more often than off). Hope this could get some insight.

I found 14 TSB's related to that code...Are you having any other conditions or codes at the same time? A little more information might help the folks on the forum here to think about what your problem is...

I have the 14 and am right at 133,000 miles and just recently got this code, it is off now.  2 fill ups ago I used a fuel additive (STP type stuff) which I have never done prior to this.  From reading these comments, I am thinking that possibly the additive cleaned up some of the carbon build up and has caused the "gunk" to get trapped on the filter and may have triggered the code.  Is this possible or more of an unrelated coincidence???

I have a 2014 with the code P06DD.  Had the vehicle serviced twice to clean it up and replace oil sensor. The P06DD is still showing. After some searching I discovered SB-10080702-2280  https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/SB-10080702-2280.pdf

Subject: Models: Service Bullet,in PRELIMINARY INFORMATI01 N Code P06DD No Or Low Oil Pressure

2016 Cadillac CTS-V

2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade

2016 Chevrolet Camaro

2014-2016 Chevrolet Corvette

2014-2016 Chevrolet Silverado

2015-2016 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe

2014-2016 GMC Sierra

2015-2016 GMC Yukon XL

Built with RPO's 4.3L 5.3L 6.2L L83 L86 L T1 LT4 LV3

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

Condition/Concern Bulletin No.: PIP5407

Date: Jun-2016 Vehicle setting code P06DD, no or low oil pressure, oil control valve may be stuck off commanding high oil pressures (95 psi) and or oil pump face may be damaged.

Recommendation/Instructions Tensioner spring in timing chain guide may be "short" not fully seating into guide pivot end. Cycling Oil Pump Control Valve will not cause changes in oil pump response.

1) Short spring not reaching the pivot. Replace timing chain tensioner guide. If oil pump face is damaged and or worn thru replace oil pump. Inspect bearings for damage wear due to debris from oilTensioner spring in timing chain guide may be "short" not fully seating into guide pivot end.  

This is a major issue with a very large repair bill of $1500 to $2000 USD.

    • www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.
    • Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.         
    • I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far. 
    • I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install. 
    • Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
