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 or GDS2 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.
