I have a 2014 Silverado  with 162,000 miles.  And it just started  to pop up a code PO6DD engine oil pressure control performance circuit stuck off  and the oil pressure  is running  at 70. And it stays  on v8 and does not change to v4. Once I  clear the code  it drops back down to  40 pounds.  And everything is  fine.  I was told  to oil pump  need to be replaced, I  heard  cylinders 7 and 8 might be stopped up. Can anyone  help  me with this?

If the harness going to the solenoid is working ok, its time for an oil pump.     As for O2 sensor, I suppose only because both upstream O2 sensors are powered off the same fuse as the oil p

Soooo, I drove the truck about 500 miles this week, no time to change the sensor. About 450 miles into the drive oil pressure went back to normal... and no more P06DA/DD codes. Looks like the solenoid

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same issue mine is a 2014 v6 with 200,000 miles I replaced the oil pressure solinoid and nothing

I will look  into  it.  But after  about  3 times  of clearing the  code out I  haven't had  any problems since.. is that normal?

Any news? I got a 14 5.3L with 121 on it. Just bought the truck and got a bit up the road when it came on. I read it could be a bad filter so I changed oil and filter about 1K ago and it never came back on. is this a fluke or somthing I should be concerned about. My chevy dealer said maybe a fluke, they did tell me an oil pump is 2400 to replace

Hey, A P06DD is a Engine Oil Pressure Control Solenoid Valve Performance. Lets talk about this for a moment because I have seen this code many of times.

 

It's kinda a weird one so I am thinking of where to start. Lets start with there is a Engine oil pressure control solenoid that is part of the oil pump assembly. It can be changed separate from the oil pump and it is tested by using the following inputs. Engine speed, Engine Temperature, Oil Pressure and Run time. When the solenoid is commanded on, the oil pressure gets lower and when it's commanded off the oil pressure gets higher.

 

 Here is what you're right on. You have oil pressure. That doesn't mean the system is working properly. A lot of the time you will find the solenoid is damaged. Every time I pull an oil pump for this, I remove the Solenoid and the tip normally falls off into 2 pieces. I will show you a picture of it below.

 

So, You can take it somewhere else, and let them tell you what you want to hear (that it's something other than the oil pump pressure solenoid) change it and continue to have the problem. Or you can take it to the dealer and let them replace the pump (which comes with the valve) or tell them to just replace the valve and get the problem fixed.

I have never understood why people take there vehicle somewhere, and when the don't get the answer they want... look for a different answer. If you didn't trust that they were competent enough to fix it, why take it there to begin with?

 

Also, To reply to the above quote... These solenoids... Which are part of the pumps in these vehicles... Fail ALL the time

I would do it myself if it wasn’t for where it it and the extensive process it takes to get the oil pump out, figured if the solenoid is bad and there there might as well change the pump, plus I was told you can’t just get a solenoid . Dealer here gives a 2 year unlimited mile warranty if they change the pump.  
 

I read on here that filters will sometimes cause a code when I pulled the filter that was in it out it was top heavy. Guess I’ll just keep driving it and if it’s a problem with the solenoid I’ll get it fixed.

I agree on the doing it yourself part, believe the member who replied with this does it for a living.

 

If you are good with the price, and their ability to do it, would just bite the bullet and get it done, it will not repair itself unfortunately.

I have a buddy of mine who had the same PO6DD code come up and he had about 150k miles on his 2015 5.3 silverado.  When it popped up he discovered his cooler lines were leaking oil causing the oil pressure to drop so low it threw that code.  He had the cooler lines replaced and the code went away for about 2 months but due to the lines leaking oil for so long it caused a lot of stress on the pump which ended having to be replaced. After all that, he hasn't had that code come back up. Crawl up under your truck and check to see if thats what it could be that I just described.  Hope that helps

No nothing leaking, I believe it was a bad oil filter or possibly wrong oil put in it, changed the oil and filter and the code went away almost imminently put about 1500 miles since then on it and haven't had a problem yet. When I bought the truck it supposedly had an oil change less than 300 miles before I bought it but the oil i drained out of it was dirty. The dealer I took it to said that it could have been a fluke and or lack of maintenance. My thought process is if its not broken don't fix it. Hate to have a 2400 dollar repair for a truck I just bought.

So the oil was literally squirting out of the oil cooler lines, leaving actual puddles of oil on the ground?  Because that's the kind of volume loss it would take to lower the oil pressure.  And he would have been out of oil driving around in minutes.

 

Or did you mean the oil lines were slowly leaking (which is not uncommon for GM), but he just didn't bother checking the oil even semi-regularly, until the oil level got so low that the oil pump couldn't keep up with full pressure?

Sorry for late reply, I was in Memphis working for the week.  But, it was a slow drip.  He told me had just above 4 quarts of oil left in the truck when he was changing his oil.  I remember when he came over to my house and went he left I'd see a little wet spot in my driveway which was oil dripping from those lines.  His oil pressure did go down to 20 or 30 ish but once he started driving it went back up to 40 that it's usually at.  GM is a character when it comes to gauges lol.

Probably just not enough maintenance.  Speaking pf maintenance, get yourself an oil catch can to prevent the carbon buildup in these GDI engines.  I had no idea about GDI until my old Traverse started driving like it had asthma and just ended up selling the thing because it was cost a whole lot more to fix than what it was worth.  I have the JLT 3.0 oil catch can on my silverado and it's amazing of the gung that it filters out.  Your engine will thank you later

Bump. 

I started using a Range and the code cleared itself right up, now I am sending the range back for an update. Unplugged the range 3 days later same code comes back PO6DD. I am gonna caulk it up to my truck hates going into V-4, anyone else ever experience anything like this?

Any advice please... I have a 2016 with only 67k on it. The engine light came on and I went to the local O’Riellys to see what the code was and it was this P06DD. The next day it went away and about a week later it’s back checked the code again. Same thing, I had about 10% left but changed the oil anyways and it’s still there. This time the oil pressure is going up to about 60-65.  Called to schedule something with the dealer but it’s the weekend. Doing a little research and a oil pump is not as expensive as the $2100-$2500 some have suggested it will cost on here. I’m not an expert but I am mechanically inclined.  Any expert advice is very welcomed

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?

      There's a bunch of tea leaves that you've read, but in any case the delayed timing is unusual. Not sure how that relates to the rich at idle vs. 'normal' while driving.   If you're in this deep, might be worth investigating, and re-learning the sensor. What have you got to lose? Plus, it properly fixes the timing cover leak.

      The only problem I have seen this cause is longer crank times.

      Injector is being sent off today for rebuild and I estimate I'll have it back in 10 days or so.   It may not be the injector...of course...now that I've torn down the intake again. But, let's rule out the injector and replace those spider legs that have been almost rubbed through.   The truck has always had negative timing and I'm reading "normal" timing at warm idle should be +16 or so. I'm negative 16 to 25 or more, and it's always been like that since I bought it.   A light turned on upstairs last night in the old noggin. Rare, I know...   This will be wild, if it turns out to be the cause!   In 2001, according to the old service documentation, the muffler was replaced. Why? I have no idea, it wouldn't have been rusted through by then. But they did a crappy job.   In 2019, another shop replaced it and noted the prior install was poorly done on the work order. "Exhaust system vibrates on crossmember". Except...I guess they just left it be? I believe the husband, the couple who were original owners, had passed by then. Maybe she said it's just not worth it to have the exhaust system fixed and declined repairs. Very few miles were driven between 2019 and 2025.   The exhaust system vibrates heavily on the crossmember and you can feel it and REALLY hear it, even today. Not always, but at idle, it gets going pretty good sometimes.   What if....   ....What if that's enough to trigger one or both of the knock sensors? Could it be tricking the sensors into sensing knock, so it's pulling timing aggressively? Pulling timing heavily means it's firing after the piston reaches full height which means incomplete burn which means the O2 sensor is sensing a rich condition, which means I've been chasing my tail, and what I thought was an inconsequential problem (janky exhaust) has been THE issue for this truck for 25 solid years?   That would be wild. Maybe it IS wild.   The service documentation thereafter, for years, shows visits for rough idle, replacing O2's, replacing the cat, replacing plugs and wires, a misfire condition, like they could never solve the issue. The injector has been replaced 4 times in 80k miles, that's just crazy.   The secondary theory....   The engine has clearly had a leak at the front seal for a very long time (the greasy trench...). I think the truck changed hands quickly ~2025 because there's Napa receipts from someone I don't recognize in the ownership history. They apparently replaced the timing cover seal, and they did a terrible job. There's RTV smeared all over and the leak I had reduced to a weep by snugging the front oil pan bolts is now a leak again.   HOWEVER....I read about replacing the crankshaft position sensor. Any time the ckp sensor is disturbed or timing cover is removed, the truck requires relearning, and that can only be done through a bi-directional scan tool. Skippy with the RTV probably didn't do the relearn procedure is my guess. His scan tool is lost in a pile of RTV goo somewhere.   So, it's very possible the sensor has been disturbed and the truck is just running on the old learn data but not setting a code for anything. The distributor has since been replaced and so has the camshaft position sensor, so all bets are off for that thing.   In the theme of one step forward, two steps back, I returned the accumulator for the AC. The gal I've been working with at O'Really's has been great. She refunded it under manufacturer's defect and we compared it to the replacement I ordered, and sure enough, the replacement is machined very differently (and a gauge actually fits on it!).   Got it home, installed it, started vacuuming it down.... and I couldn't get good vacuum.   The high side service port, where I replaced the old GM ball valve suspecting that was a source of the previous leak....well, I've clearly exposed whatever pre-existing crack in the line where the service port is welded, and made it much worse. Blessing in disguise? Except there goes another $25, now I'm waiting for a replacement AC line.   In 10-ish days ALL the parts will be here. Rebuilt injector, new exhaust system, new cat, new high pressure AC line.   Oh, did I mention the squeaking ISN'T coming from the AC pump? The truck still squeaks when started, and there were words after I started it with the new AC pump installed. But, there was more to replacing the AC pump for just a squeak. A truck with good working AC is something of value, for the comfort alone.   I've ordered a new harmonic balancer because, 30 years is a good run for one of those. Rule it out. The squeak may be something more sinister, though. I'm worried about that ckp sensor and if it was shimmed correctly, or if the timing set was installed correctly. The squeak may be coming from UNDER the timing cover.   At this point, once I get it put back together, I'm thinking I'll take a 50 mile victory lap and then promptly put it up for sale. This truck is cursed. Betty, from beyond the grave, doesn't want anyone messing with her Blazer. Or maybe she's getting revenge for 30 years of shop visits with that thing.
