Bump...

 

My 2014 Sierra 5.3L is popping P06DA and PO6DD consistently. Started one morning a couple weeks ago all of a sudden. Oil pressure runs about 20 psi higher than it used to. From reading in these forums, youtube, etc, seems like the likely culprit is the oil pressure solenoid. My truck has over 221K miles, so the labor to replace the solenoid seems to make it logical to replace the engine when it's time to do something. 

 

However, in the meantime, is there really any problem with the oil pressure running a little high? I think I'm going to just keep driving it as is until something worse develops. Power is normal, runs as well as it ever has. 

 

I've replaced the oil pressure sensor and that made no difference... I'm also going to replace the bank 1 upstream O2 sensor... one guy fixed his by doing that... apparently that O2 sensor is on the same circuit as the oil pressure solenoid. Fixed his. 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

Thoughts?

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 pump solenoid. 

 

If you are gonna shotgun an O2 sensor, buy OEM only.  Don't buy an OE equivalent or one that says same part as OE either.  GM are VERY sensitive to oxygen sensors.

Will do, thx. I'll update after the O2 sensor shotgun. My expectations are low...

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 is working again. 

 

Seems obvious now, but I put oil conditioner in the oil the last couple oil changes (seemed like a good idea for a >200K mile engine). I changed the oil with straight 0W-20 synthetic when the P06DD/DA started...

 

Now I'm thinking the oil conditioner gummed up the solenoid and it took 450 miles to wash the conditioner out of the solenoid with fresh oil. 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

Anyway, I'll not be using any additives from now on. Super happy it looks like I have more miles left in this engine.

    • There's a new PI on 2023-2026 L3B shudder.  Possible faulty front oxygen sensor.   Dealer can pull up PIP6060A and give it a read.

    • About the only GM that compares well with its competitors through the small to midsize vehicles is the Trax. I would like nothing better to just drive GMs. My wife in a Cadillac me in a Chevy minivan and Colorado. Part of my day is comprised of reading and watching comparisons of automobile. I could buy a car today. I’m back to research the next. 
    • Do you have any DFM defeat devices like the Range modules?  
    • I had a similar problem years ago and it ended up being the positive battery cable that ran to the main fuse block/ECU. It looked fine but when I sliced it open it was badly corroded.
