P06DD Dodge Journey: A Common Code With Uncommon Fixes

Chrysler-made vehicles, such as the Dodge Journey, commonly use an oil pump with a high-pressure mode and a low-pressure mode. P06DD is stored in the PCM’s (powertrain control module) memory when the engine is stuck in low-pressure mode.

P06DD is a very common code to find in the Journey. P06DD can be caused by a failure in the dual-stage oil pump, More often than not, clearing this code will not involve dealing with the oil pump.

P06DD Definition: Dual Stage Oil Pump – Stuck Low

The definition of Chrysler P06DD consists of two parts. The first part is the part of the vehicle that is having the issue, and the second is what that issue is.

Dual Stage Oil Pump

Your Dodge Journey uses a dual-stage oil pump. The design uses seven vanes and a moving element to regulate oil pressure and keep it at a near-constant level. It can run in low or high-pressure mode depending on the engine’s needs.

Low-Pressure Mode – This mode is activated when the control solenoid is on. It keeps your Journey’s oil pressure around 29 psi and is active from idle to around 3000 RPM.
High-Pressure Mode – High-pressure mode is activated somewhere between 3000-4000 RPM and keeps the engine’s oil pressure around 65 psi. It can kick in earlier if the oil and coolant temperatures are low.

Maximum oil pressure is limited to 145 psi by a relief valve and monitored by the Engine Oil Pressure (EOP) sensor.

The engine goes into low-pressure mode when the oil pressure control solenoid is switched on.

The dual-stage oil pump is stuck in the low-pressure mode described above, which means the engine may not be getting enough oil pressure above 3k RPM.

Dodge Journey P06DD: Symptoms

Assuming there are no other codes, the only symptom you should notice with P06DD is the check engine light.

Dodge Journey P06DD: Causes & Diagnosis

Below, we’ve listed some of the most common problems that can cause P06DD in the Dodge Journey. It’s not often caused by a bad oil pump (a common misdiagnosis).

Check TSB’s

The first thing you need to do is check to see if there are any technical service bulletins for your model year Journey. Some years (particularly before 2017) require an ECM reflash to fix this problem.

There are plenty of TSB sites where you can look these up.

Oil Problems

If the engine oil is too low , your Journey’s dual pressure pump can’t increase oil pressure past the low-pressure range. The first thing you should do if you have P06DD is check the oil. Dirty oil can cause P06DD. Any oil that has lost its viscosity can cause this code.

Wrong Oil Filter

Penstar engines will often get P06DD when the wrong type of oil filter was used. If you’ve recently had your oil changed and the check engine light came on, this is a very likely cause.

When replacing your Journey’s oil filter, verify the oil pressure bypass valve is intact. A missing bypass valve is a less likely cause, but as long as you’re down there anyway, you might as well check.

Change the oil filter to the MOPAR Oil filter recommended in the owner’s manual. This is a very common fix for P06DD.

Oil Pressure Sensor

The oil pressure sensor is one of the most common fixes for P06DD. Here’s a video on diagnosing and replacing one on a Chrysler 3.6L engine.

The oil pressure sensor could have a wiring issue (short or open). But, it takes a decent amount of digging to get to the harness. As you can see in the video above, you must pull a lot of the engine apart to get to it.

Mechanical Issue

Here are some of the common mechanical issues that can cause P06DD in the Dodge Journey:

Bad/Missing oil bypass valve
Bad dual-stage oil pump
Use of an oil filter adapter

P06DD in the Dodge Journey can be a challenge to diagnose. But, there many of the common fixes are super easy to check. Good luck!

Code P06DD and oil all over - help

Jack up the car and try and locate the leak. Then go from there. Maybe something to do with the PCV valve. Just a guess since its on the drivers side.

After doing some research online, I saw that people would get that code when their oil filter was put in upside down. So I went and looked, nope. Not upside down. BUT!!!!!! The rubber ring gasket was NOT SEATED correctly, and got cut when I initially installed it. About 2" of it was sticking straight out. I think that oil was coming out there and running down the back side of the housing and then worked its way around the engine and pulled up over what looks like the transmission closest to the firewall.

I also found these reasons why a P06DD code is thrown:

- Low or dirty engine oil

- Faulty Oil Pressure Sensor

- Oil Pressure Sensor harness is open or shorted

- Oil Pressure Sensor circuit poor electrical component.

Well....like I said originally, I was guessing that the extremely dirty oil (and probably low) was the reason the car threw a code.

Tomorrow morning I will drive the 10mi to O'Reillys again and have them delete the code and make the check engine light go away. I am thinking that all will be good with whatever caused the check engine light to come on. And I am thinking that I won't lose any more oil now that the rubber ring gasket has been installed properly (its the old one).

glad you found out the problem, when you changed the oil did your replace the old o ring on the cap with the new one supplied, i am assuming you did since you said you are using the old one now. the one thing you wrote that is odd to me is you were saying about the oil filter in backwards with the new ones cant be put in backwards as the little nose tripod wont fit in backwards unless you are using the old filters that didnt have that part built on to the filter.of course you see ever thing on the inter web, Anyways glad you caught it before any damage was done and i am sure you will be okay as you found the cause of the leak. i also change my own oil and i only hand tighten the cap as tight as i can get it by hand only, with o rings you NEVER want to tighten them to tight as it will stretch the ring and or cut them and cause a leak......i always after i change my oil and filter when i am thur i let the engine run for about 3-5 minutes then stop it let it cool look for leaks and then recheck the oil level and then for the next few days i keep a check for leaks ,you never know the crazy things that can happen after you or someone else working on your cars.....

i remember about 15-yrs ago i was changing the oil on my truck and after i was all done i started it up and let it run for a few minutes then shut it off and let it settle for a few minutes and was checking the oil level everything was okay, i look underneath the truck for drips and oil was coming out of the side of the filter i thought wtf so i slid my clean oil pan under and shimmed back under the truck with my filter wrench and yes it was tight i though wth, so thought about it for a minute then decided to look at my old spin on filter and the oil gasket wasn't still attached to the filter, so i removed the new one and looked at the bottom of the oil pump surface,and there it was the old gasket stuck to the metal peeled it off re-wet the new gasket on the filter which i didnt really have to do as oil was everywhere by then LOL and re tightened everything and low and behold no leaks.... first time in all my years of changing oil that the gasket came off the old filter like that. so strange stuff like can happen so it pays to double check everything twice and to keep an eye on all their fluids under the hood, i still check my oil every week at least once.

actually my 2014 about 1-2 yrs came up with a warring light and it was the oil sender went bad oil pressure was pegged as high as it would go dealership said they were seeing quite a few journeys with that problem and he figured the part suppler had sent a bad batch of units to the factory and that there really wasn't a problem that i had regular oil pressure but that the oil sender had shorted out inside itself and showing high pressure. check your readings in the evic center to see what the oil pressure is should be around 40 psi when warm and at reg driving speed.

I drove around watching the oil pressure . All was perfect 35-42psi. I went to O'Reilly's and reset the check engine light. Then drove around town taking care of errands. Check engine light stayed off and oil pressure stayed right where it should. At the last traffic light before home, I stuck the throttle to the floor and got up to 45 as fast as I could. It through the check engine light back on. And when I checked the oil level at home it was a quart low. Now it has me going hmmmmmmmmm......

take it back to OReillys and see what the code is , as far as the oil did you get filled right? are there any leaks? top off the oil to the correct level and keep check on it every day

Still losing oil at about a quart every 1/2hour of engine time.

I am thinking Oil Filter Housing.

If that's where it's leaking from, then yes.

Well after a ton of online research, I think it is the oil filter housing. Dealership said it is a known failure part. And if they cracked it during an oil change, they would warranty the work. But since I did the oil change myself it would be $800+ to replace it.

P06dd Code (Symptoms, Causes, and How to Fix)

You’ve just learned that your check engine light that has been traced back to an active P06DD fault code. Now what?

Well for starters, take this code seriously. Because it indicates a problem with oil pressure, engine damage may be the result if you simply ignore it.

In this article, we’ll look at the the causes and symptoms of a P06DD code as well as how to properly troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Table of Contents

What Does Code P06DD Mean?

Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P06DD is indicative of a discrepancy between anticipated and actual engine oil pressure, at various engine speeds.

This code, itself, is largely manufacturer-specific and is most common among Dodge and Ford vehicles. The presence of this fault also denotes a potential oil control valve failure.

Further expanding upon the statement above, many modern engines now come equipped with oil pressure control valves, which allow for oil circuit pressure relief under certain circumstances and conditions. A valve of this type features an orifice that varies in diameter based on PCM demands, causing oil pressure to rise or lower as commanded.

Diagnostic fault code P06DD is logged, whenever such pressure variations are not measured as anticipated.

Fault code P06DD will remain active for as long as such measurable discrepancies in oil pressure remain. In the meantime, inadequate oil pressure within an engine can lead to significant damage to internal components, thus negatively impacting engine longevity.

Because of that, prompt diagnosis of the issue is of great importance when dealing with an active P06DD fault.

Related Oil Pressure Codes: P0520 , P0521 , P0522 , P0523

Symptoms of Code P06DD

DTC P06DD is often associated with a variety of secondary symptoms, ranging from subtle to highly noticeable. Individuals who can identify these symptoms typically have a much better chance of an accurate diagnosis.

Below are several of the most common symptoms linked to code P06DD.

Check engine light is on
Reduced engine performance
Erratic idle
Noticeable vibration
Intermittent stalling

Causes of Code P06DD

Diagnostic fault code P06DD can be caused by one of several different underlying issues, some of which can prove slightly difficult to pinpoint at times. Understanding the most likely causes for this fault code will help you in your efforts of fixing the issue.

Low engine oil
Contaminated engine oil
Faulty oil pressure sensor
Bad oil pressure control valve
Damaged circuit-specific harness
Compromised oil pump

Is Code P06DD Serious?

Yes, DTC P06DD is generally regarded as being serious in nature. This is due in large part to ramifications that are often associated with low engine oil pressure.

Relative loss of engine oil pressure can quickly damage internal engine components, up to the point of causing catastrophic engine failure. Simply put, diagnostic fault code P06DD should always be taken seriously.

Proper engine oil pressure is essential to the long-term health of moving or reciprocating internal engine components. Without this lubrication, metal-on-metal friction will quickly lead to the degradation of critical wear items, such as main/connecting rod bearings, and piston rings. Once such wear begins, it continues indefinitely.

In any event, the root cause of a vehicle’s P06DD fault code should be thoroughly diagnosed and repaired at your earlies convenience. Doing so can quite possibly prevent premature engine wear and failure.

If you’re not confident in your ability to perform these repairs on your own, make an appointment with a trusted automotive service center as soon as possible.

How to Fix Code P06DD

The following steps can be used to assist in diagnosing and repairing the root cause of your vehicle’s P06DD diagnostic fault code. As always, one should consult factory-specific service literature for their particular model of vehicle before attempting any such repairs.

To help diagnose and fix the underlying issue triggering your vehicle’s P06DD code, follow the steps outlined below. However, before attempting any repairs, refer to the factory-specific service manual for your particular vehicle model to confirm you have the correct information and procedures.

#1 – Check for Additional DTCs

Before beginning any diagnostic process, check for the presence of any additional diagnostic fault codes. Any such faults that are recorded should be thoroughly diagnosed before proceeding.

Multiple codes may help with diagnosis if they’re related but unrelated trouble codes can easily lead to misdiagnosis or ineffective repairs.

#2 – Inspect for Oil Leaks

Begin the diagnostic process by inspecting for signs of significant oil leakage. This can be easily done by parking the affected vehicle over a clean piece of cardboard overnight.

The cardboard in question can be checked for signs of oil contamination. You should also check the vehicle’s oil filter, especially if an oil change has recently been conducted.

#3 – Check Oil Level/Quality

Next, check the affected vehicle’s oil level, to see if it falls outside of the specified acceptable range. If this level is low, or if it has been an extremely long time since the vehicle’s oil has been changed, a full oil/filter change is recommended.

#4 – Test Oil Pressure Mechanically

If diagnostic fault code P06DD still persists, your engine’s oil pressure should be checked with the use of a mechanical gauge. The gauge in question should be plumbed into the same orifice where the vehicle’s stock oil pressure gauge resides.

Oil pressure readings should be compared to that specified by a vehicle’s manufacturer, at various engine speeds. If an actual reduction in oil pressure is noted, testing of the engine’s oil pressure control valve should be conducted, per manufacturer recommendations.

#5 – Inspect Oil Pressure Sensor

If the above testing revealed no loss in oil pressure, the affected vehicle’s oil pressure sensor should be thoroughly inspected for signs of damage, as should the wiring pigtail related to this sensor. Any damage uncovered should be repaired immediately.

Aside from this, readings from this sensor should be compared to those taken with the aforementioned mechanical gauge. If discrepancies are noted, testing of the vehicle’s oil pressure sensor should be conducted per factory recommendations.

If such testing fails, the vehicle’s oil pressure sensor will require replacement.

P06DD: Engine Oil Pressure Control Circuit Stuck Off

Find Your Cost

What is P06DD?

P06DD is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) defined as “ Engine Oil Pressure Control Circuit Stuck Off .”

This trouble code means that your vehicle’s engine oil pressure sensor is signaling the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that the oil pressure is too low — and affecting the dual stage oil pump.

Your engine oil pump comprises seven vanes and a moving element to adjust and maintain the oil pressure supply continuously. The oil pump works in two regulated pressure stages controlled by an on/off solenoid.

Under typical conditions, these stages are:

Low mode or low pressure mode regulation (when the solenoid is on): 200 kPa (29 psi)
High mode or high pressure mode regulation (when the solenoid is off): 450 kPa (65 psi)

The Powertrain Control Module of your vehicle switches between the two regulated pressure stages based on the engine operating conditions, oil and coolant temperature, and engine speed and load. At the same time, a relief valve limits the maximum oil pressure to 1000 kPa (145 psi).

The oil pressure sensor is attached to the rear of the oil filter module, and helps monitor the pressure in the main oil gallery via diagnostic equipment. The minimum pressure for the engine, under all engine operating conditions, is 41 kPa (6 psi).

If the oil pressure sensor reports that the engine oil pressure is low (when there should be higher oil pressure) or if the oil pump face is damaged, the PCM tries to minimize engine wear by turning off the oil pump drive and setting the P06DD code.

Common symptoms

One of the first signs of a possible P06DD error code is an illuminated or flashing Check Engine Light.

In addition to the engine light, you may experience one or more of these signs:

Lack of power
Rough idling
Engine stalling
Excessive vibration and noise from the engine
Loss of oil pressure

Can I still drive?

No. Driving with an active P06DD code and an illuminated engine light isn’t recommended.

This code is related to low oil pressure, which, if left undiagnosed, could potentially damage critical moving parts of your engine. For example, a low oil level could lead to your engine pistons or cylinders seizing, which will stop the vehicle from running.

So, when you see your Check Engine Light on or the light flashing, it’s best to contact an auto repair shop to get the registered code diagnosed and fixed.

P06DD causes

Here are the potential causes that could trigger code P06DD on your vehicle:

Low oil level
Dirty engine oil (could lead to low oil pressure if not changed at required miles)
Low oil pressure detected on the oil pressure gauge
Faulty engine oil pressure sensor
Damaged oil pressure sensor harness
Short or open oil pressure sensor circuit
Faulty oil pump

Diagnosing the P06DD trouble code requires a thorough inspection of different engine parts that ensure a regulated oil pressure supply. If you’re not confident doing it yourself, it’s best to leave the job to a certified mechanic.

Here’s how a technician will diagnose code P06DD:

Step 1. Check For Active DTC Code

They’ll use an OBD-II scan tool to verify that your vehicle has registered code P06DD for not maintaining minimum pressure. They’ll also check for any additional code.

If the P06DD is accompanied by related check engine codes such as P0520, P0521, P0522, P0523, or P06DA, they’ll address them first.

They’ll clear the code and test drive the vehicle to see if the P06DD code returns.

Step 2. Check Engine Oil

If code P06DD returns, the mechanic will check for a low oil level. This condition may prevent regulated oil pressure supply at different operating stages and threaten any critical moving part.

They’ll ensure that your vehicle uses an OEM-specified oil filter (like the MOPAR filter). In addition to checking for an incorrect oil filter, they’ll see if your car has:

Deteriorated or dirty engine oil
Aerated engine oil
Incorrect engine oil viscosity

They’ll look for any mechanical condition that may be causing the code, such as:

Oil drain back

Additionally, they’ll check the oil change frequency to ensure that the oil was changed at required intervals and miles.

If the code still returns, they’ll proceed to check the oil pump.

Step 3. Inspect The Dual Stage Oil Pump

If the engine oil and the oil filter are fine, they’ll inspect the oil pump assembly, which includes the oil pump and the solenoid.

If the oil pump or the solenoid is faulty, they’ll need to perform an oil pump replacement . This involves replacing the entire oil pump assembly as it doesn’t contain any serviceable sub-parts.

Before that, they’ll inspect the oil pressure sensor as well as the oil pressure sensor harness for any broken or bent pins. They’ll also inspect for an open or short oil pressure sensor circuit.

If required, they’ll replace the faulty oil pressure sensor , turn on the ignition, and check if the DTC returns. If it does, they’ll proceed with the oil pump replacement and perform the powertrain verification test.

Possible repairs for P06DD & Costs

Fixing code P06DD begins with an hour of diagnostic time, costing anywhere between $75 and $150 per hour as labor charges. These rates can vary based on your location and vehicle make and model.

The mechanic may suggest one or more required repairs based on the diagnosis, like changing an incorrect oil filter or topping up the oil level.

Here are the average cost estimates of some of the P06DD related repairs (including part cost and labor charges):

Oil change and oil filter change: $35 to $75 (a MOPAR filter could cost $12-$30)
Valve cover gasket replacement: $110 to $340
Replacing faulty oil pressure sensor: $80 to $160
Replacing the engine oil pump assembly: $300 and $2500

Get Help with P06DD

OBD II fault code P06DD is a generic trouble code that is defined as, “Engine Oil Pressure Control – Circuit Performance Problem”, or sometimes as “Engine Oil Pressure Control Circuit Performance/Stuck Off”, and is set when the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) detects that the engine oil pressure is above or below predefined allowable thresholds, given current operating conditions. Note that allowable pressure thresholds are different for different engines, as is the time required for the code to set while the actual oil pressure deviates from the desired when the oil pressure control solenoid is in the “ON” position.

NOTE: Note that this code only applies to vehicles with variable geometry oil pumps that can be adjusted to increase or decrease the oil pressure under different operating conditions both to satisfy changing lubrication requirements and to reduce parasitic power losses.

Although internal combustion engines have reached a very high level of technical sophistication, even the most advanced engines are only about 30 percent efficient*, with the other 70 percent going to waste in the form of heat. Most of this heat is caused by internal friction and pumping losses, and although engineers have devised several highly sophisticated combustion processes to extract more energy from liquid fuels, the problem remains that friction, pumping losses, and parasitic power losses caused by ancillary equipment, and even by critical engine components, still make modern engines about 70 percent inefficient.

* This figure is about 40 percent for diesel engines since diesel fuel contains more energy per unit of volume than gasoline does.

As a practical matter, modern internal combustion engines of all types and designs have reached a point where they can for all practical purposes, not be developed any further without essentially, rethinking the concept of liquid fuel combustion. However, with the rapid pace of developments in electric vehicle technology, no car manufacturer is going to invest hundreds of billions of dollars into developing entirely new liquid fuel combustion technologies, and the engines to go with those technologies. In fact, most major car manufacturers have ceased any further development of combustion technology in favor of developing electric cars and their related technologies.

In the real world though, large-scale adoption of electric vehicles is still a decade or two away, and in the meantime, car manufacturers still have to contend with exhaust emissions regulations that become stricter every year. So, from design, engineering, and cost perspectives, the only aspect of internal combustion engines that can still be somewhat developed is methods and ways to decrease, if not eliminate parasitic power losses caused by things like oil pumps, water pumps, radiator fans, and alternators whose output cannot be adjusted, regulated, or even turned off completely for short periods.

Thus, as far as oil pumps are concerned, the problem is that their output is fixed, and tied to engine speed. Put differently, this means that an oil pump delivers a fixed volume of oil per engine revolution, and as the engine speed increases, the pump delivers more “fixed volumes” of oil per unit of time, which increases the total volume of oil the pump delivers. However, since the oil pump has a fixed geometry, and, therefore, a fixed output per engine revolution, the oil pressure remains constant on many engines. Again, put differently, this means that increasing the engine speed on many engines increases only the volume of oil the pump displaces, while the overall pressure remains constant, or varies very little.

As a result of the above, the high amount of torque required to drive the oil pump at low engine speeds robs especially small-displacement engines of significant amounts of power. More to the point though, the effort required to drive the oil pump also requires more fuel than is strictly necessary, which has the corollary that increased fuel consumption creates additional waste heat and exhaust emissions.

To address this issue, engineers have devised variable geometry oil pumps, meaning that the internal components of these oil pumps can be adjusted to vary the volume of oil (and, in some designs, the pressure) the pump delivers per engine revolution at different engine speeds. There are too many different designs of variable oil pumps in use today to provide explanations of how each design works, but below is a generic description of the basic operating principles of these types of oil pumps-

All variable geometry oil pumps contain a moving part that alters the size of the inlet and outlet ports relative to each other. This movement is typically controlled via a computer-controlled solenoid that moves the moveable “gate” to a position commanded by one or more control modules. This movement has the effect of changing the diameters of both the inlet and outlet ports; by decreasing the inlet port, and increasing the diameter of the outlet port, the engine sacrifices less power to drive the oil pump, thus decreasing parasitic power losses significantly.

However, this is tied strictly to engine speed. At low engine speeds, the engine’s lubrication demands are significantly lower than at high engine speeds, so control modules are programmed to match the engine’s lubrication to the engine speed. This ensures that while the engine receives less oil at low engine speeds, the engine is supplied with oil at the oil pump’s maximum capacity at high engine speeds to satisfy the engine’s high lubrication demands at high engine speeds.

Since the lubrication system’s correct operation is critically important for efficient engine operation, the PCM and other control modules monitor the actual oil pressure vs. the desired oil pressure in the engine continuously via dedicated oil pressure and other engine sensors. Therefore, if the PCM (or other control modules) detects a defect, failure, or malfunction in the oil pump’s control solenoid’s control circuit that prevents effective control of the coil control solenoid, one or more control modules will recognize that it/they cannot control the oil pressure effectively, and will set code P06DD and illuminate a warning light that may or may not flash red.

This image shows an example of a typical variable geometry oil pump- in this case, a pump from a GM application.

In this example, the distance between the red and green arrows represents the range of travel of the moveable part, which is indicated here by the orange arrow. The large spring that is shown by the yellow arrow has the twin functions of keeping the moveable part stationary when the oil control solenoid is not energized and returning the moveable part to a programmed rest position when the oil pressure control solenoid is deactivated.

Note, though, that oil pumps of all types and descriptions, including variable geometry oil pumps, are typically located inside the engine, and are therefore not accessible without removing and dismantling the engine. We do not recommend that non-professional mechanics attempt this procedure, so if you suspect that you may be experiencing issues with the oil pump on your vehicle, the wisest course of action would be to seek professional assistance with diagnosis and repair.

Some common causes of code P06DD could include one or more of the following-

Damaged, burnt, shorted, corroded, or disconnected wiring and/or electrical connectors in the oil control solenoid’s control circuits (Most common)
Low oil levels (Common)
A restricted or clogged screen on the oil pick-up tube in the oil pan
Incorrectly installed oil pick-up tube during engine assembly in an assembly plant- while this is not very common, it is also not unheard of
The use of dirty, degraded, contaminated, or unsuitable engine oil
Defective or damaged oil control solenoid
Defective engine speed sensor(s)
Defective or malfunctioning oil pressure sensors, but note that this will usually be indicated by one or more dedicated oil pressure trouble codes
Mechanical failure of the oil pump
Excessive mechanical wear of crankshaft and main bearings
Mechanical engine failure
Stuck open or defective oil pressure relief valve
Failed or failing PCM or other control modules, but note that since is relatively rare, the fault must be sought elsewhere before any control module is reprogrammed or replaced

Some common symptoms of code P06DD could include one or more of the following-

Stored trouble code and an illuminated warning light that may or may not flash
Multiple additional codes may be present along with P06DD, depending on the application and the nature of the problem
Valve gear may be noisy at high engine speeds if the oil pump is stuck in Low-Pressure mode
Variable valve/camshaft timing systems may not work at high engine speeds if the oil pump is stuck in Low-Pressure mode
if the oil pump is stuck in Low-Pressure mode for extended periods, catastrophic engine failure may occur if the engine is operated at high engine speeds for long periods

P06DD intermittent how to determine if pump or other problem? This code has been appearing for a couple months now. I clear it and it may set next day or next week. It sets usually when my dashboard oil pressure creeps above 55 psi. Usually when I start out on a drive. After driving a while the pressure returns to “normal” around 42 psi. Or if I turn the engine off when hot the pressure is normal when started and code does not set. At idle and operating temperature and the oil pressure has remained in the 42 psi range the pressure falls to about 23 psi. Falling to this value at idle does not set the code. The only event that sets the code is temporary high pressure on start of a drive. Moving to the higher code-setting pressure does not always occur, at start of a drive. What do these symptoms suggest if anything? My oil Dexos 0-20 is clean and topped up at all times. I have changed my oil pressure sensor and my thermostat. Engine runs at 220 deg F.

Hello Roger. I think, if not the wiring, then it could be the oil pump solenoid. When you say intermittent, it makes me think of a wiring issue, but, with the oil pressure fluctuating like that, it could be the engine oil pump solenoid having debris, or something like metal shavings on it. Or just defective.

I have a 2014 chevy silverado 1500 lt 5.3l, the code po6dd came up, trying to figure out the problem.

That is the best explanation I ran into the net, searching for information regard this issue. Thanks alot!

Thanks Tal! Please note we welcome donations to help keep us alive. We publish articles every month.

I have Silverado 2016 1500 5300 engen And have p06dd low level oil and bad oil …I chang oil and oil filter and reset error cap My truck good and normal change between 4and 8 cylinder but after time cod p06dd active aging…and I reset cod and my Silverado will be good and after time returns to p06dd “oil pressure control solenoid valve stuck off “ and the vehicle work with just 8 cylinders and if I rest error cod and clear it it will be no in normal

Ahmed. It sounds like your engine oil control pump solenoid is stuck, or malfunctioning. Also, engine oil can build up major sludge in your oil pan. I would have your oil pan cleaned out. Their may be sludge preventing the oil control pump solenoid from operating.

I solve problem by cleaning engine with flash liquid for engine …but after 6 month today the code p06dd return again🙁

What did you use to clean the sludge? What flash liquid?

Ahmed. I’m glad it worked for a while. What kind of oil are you using? If it is pennzoil, then pennzoil is actually a big sludge causer. It sounds like the sludge buildup is back.

Troubleshooting P06DD: What It Means + How To Fix It?

An OBD2 scanner is a great purchase for anyone looking to maintain and repair their car.

However, the errors an OBD2 scanner returns can be generic and confusing. P06DD is one such error.

The good news is: You can read about the different codes to prepare yourself for a rainy day. Here’s one such guide to P06DD.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

What Does P06DD Code Mean?

What are the symptoms of the p06dd code, what causes the p06dd code to appear on your diagnostic scan tool, how do you fix the p06dd code, how do you prevent p06dd, final thoughts: troubleshooting p06dd: what it means + how to fix it, frequently asked questions.

P06DD indicates that your vehicle has too low or too high oil pressure . It can be due to several seasons.

Let’s walk through how the engine maintains an oil pressure in the oil pressure control circuit to understand why it happens.

The oil pump in your car pumps the oil in the oil circuit and maintains the oil pressure through an adjustable opening in the oil path. That adjustable opening is controlled by a solenoid valve .

The solenoid valve adjusts in the two regulated pressure stages, i.e., high-pressure mode regulation at high speeds and low-pressure mode regulation at low speeds. Put another way, the solenoid valve must maintain a specific oil pressure depending on the engine speed.

Besides that, the PCM collects the pressure readings using the pressure sensors throughout the engine to adjust the solenoid valve according to the engine load, oil temperature, and operating conditions.

However, if the oil pressure is too high or too low than the desired oil pressure, the PCM returns the code P06DD error.

Glowing check engine’s light
Noisy engine
No oil pressure
Poor engine power
Low vehicle performance
High engine vibrations
Noisy valve gear
Poor quality idling

P06DD code can appear on your OBD2 scanner or other diagnostic equipment for various reasons:

Low oil level
Clogged up oil inlet port screen in the oil sump
Damaged wiring or electrical connectors of the solenoid control circuit
Dirty or old engine oil
Defective readings by the engine speed sensor
Defective oil pressure sensor
Failure of the oil pump
Leakage of oil leading to low oil pressure
Excessive wear and tear due to mechanical failure of the crankshaft
Replacement is required for the oil filter

Here’s how can resolve the P06DD code:

Add more engine oil after checking oil levels : A high engine oil level increases the oil flowing in the oil path.
Change engine oil if the oil is dirty or old : Dirty oil results in poor engine health and clogged oil intake port’s filter. The blocked port restricts the oil entry into the pump while hindering pressure buildup in the circuit.
Replace the engine oil filter : Replacement of the oil filter cleans the oil, maintaining the excellent health of your engine.
Locate leaks and take proper action to stop leakage : Leaking oil decreases engine oil’s pressure. Fix it to maintain oil pressure within the engine.
Check the wiring and positioning of the engine oil pressure sensor : Fix the oil pressure sensor to feed accurate oil pressure values to the PCM.
Replace the engine oil pump assembly : Replace the assembly for efficient working of the solenoid.

Prevention is better than cure. Let’s see how you can prevent P06DD code altogether.

Change oil after regular intervals as recommended by your manufacturer. It ensures good engine health, proper lubrication, a clean oil filter, and a clean sump strainer in the oil pan.
Keep an eye out for engine oil leaks. It saves your engine from insufficient oil pressure levels.
A high-end engine oil pump avoids the solenoid stuck position and ensures that the solenoid valve operates as desired.

If PCM triggers code P06DD on your diagnostic equipment or OBD2 scanner, start looking for possible causes to protect the engine from damage.

We’ve discussed some of the common causes above. Share yours in the comments as well.

What is the engine oil pressure control solenoid valve?

The pressure control valve of the engine oil operates electromechanically. It is one of the engine oil pump features that ensures a regulated oil pressure supply to the engine.

What is the oil pressure sensor?

An oil pressure sensor detects oil pressure within the engine. It is one of the main features of the oil pressure control circuit for maintaining oil pressure in the engine.

Dodge Code P06DD

At the heart of every Dodge vehicle lies a powerful engine that requires a regulated oil pressure supply to keep it running smoothly. If the engine’s oil pressure drops too low, the Dodge Code P06DD will be triggered, indicating an Engine Oil Pressure Control Circuit is Stuck Off. This code can be caused by a variety of issues including low engine oil levels, incorrect engine oil filters, insufficient oil pressure due to mechanical failure, engine mechanical failure, and a dual-stage oil pump. By understanding the causes and solutions to this code, Dodge owners can quickly restore their vehicles’ performance.

🎯Suggested article: Dodge Code P1618

Causes and Solutions of Dodge Code P06DD

When the Dodge Code P06DD is triggered, it is important to understand what is causing the code and what the best possible solutions are. This code is linked to the Engine Oil Pressure Control Circuit which is responsible for maintaining a regulated oil pressure supply. If there is a problem with the circuit, such as low oil levels, incorrect filters, insufficient oil pressure, engine mechanical failure, or a dual-stage oil pump, then the code will be triggered. By understanding the causes and solutions to this code, Dodge owners can quickly restore their vehicles’ performance.

Engine Oil Level Low

One of the most common causes of Dodge Code P06DD is low engine oil levels. If the oil levels are below the recommended level, the vehicle’s engine will be unable to produce enough oil pressure to keep the engine running. The best solution is to check the oil levels and refill them to the recommended level.

Incorrect Engine Oil Filter

Another potential cause of the Dodge Code P06DD is an incorrect engine oil filter. If the filter is not the correct size or type, it can restrict the flow of oil, resulting in insufficient oil pressure. The best solution is to replace the engine oil filter with the correct type.

Insufficient Oil Pressure due to Mechanical Failure

Mechanical failure can also cause the Dodge Code P06DD to be triggered. If the engine is unable to produce enough oil pressure due to a faulty part, the code will be triggered. The best solution is to replace the faulty part and restore the engine’s oil pressure.

Engine Mechanical Failure

Engine mechanical failure can also cause the Dodge Code P06DD to be triggered. If the engine is unable to produce enough oil pressure due to a faulty part, the code will be triggered. The best solution is to diagnose and repair the faulty engine parts.

Dual Stage Oil Pump

The final potential cause of the Dodge Code P06DD is a dual-stage oil pump. If the pump settings are incorrect, the engine will be unable to produce enough oil pressure. The best solution is to adjust the oil pump settings to the correct settings.

Dodge Code P06DD is triggered when the engine’s oil pressure drops too low. The most common causes of this code are low engine oil levels, incorrect engine oil filters, insufficient oil pressure due to mechanical failure, engine mechanical failure, and a dual-stage oil pump. By understanding the causes and solutions to Dodge Code P06DD , Dodge owners can quickly restore their vehicles’ performance.

P06DD - Changing the oil pump or just the solenoid?

Add to quote

I have the dreaded P06DD code on my 2012 Charger V6. I've verified the correct Mopar oil filter, oil weight and changed it twice now. I've also changed the oil pressure sensor under the intake. Code keeps coming back eventually. I'm guessing it's time to drop the oil pan and go to work. It seems the solenoid on the dual stage pump is likely the issue. I've watched several videos on replacing the pump, but they were on FWD cars. 1. Is this easier or harder on the RWD engine? Are following the FWD videos enough to get the job done, or are there other issues I need to know? 2. I see the now they sell just the solenoid. Can the solenoid be replaced without pulling the pump? Any other advice is appreciated. Thanks!

If you just drop the small metal pan you can swap the pump, but you will need a special swivel socket to get one of the pump bolts--without it you would have to remove the entire aluminum pan. Let me find the Dave Pike (Motor City Mechanic) video that shows just how to do it.. I'll post the link as soon as I find it.

Those are the videos I watched for the FWD V6. Do you still need that socket on the RWD?

Here you go - - 4 part series that shows you how to do it by just dropping the tin pan using "The Short Cut Method" He was doing a FWD, and I'm NOT sure there is enough room to get the pump out with just dropping the tin pan on the RWD, it looks to be much smaller and you may have to watch his other 5 part series that he call "by the book" method where he removes the entire aluminum pan Part 1: Part 2: Part 3: Part 4: By the book method part 1:

Yes, you'll need the socket -- I just hope the tin pan leaves you enough room to get the pump out without having to remove the entire aluminum pan

Any updates? I'm in the same boat. I have a 2014 Dodge Charger SE, 3.6L V6 and I need to remove and replace my oil pump due to a P06DE DTC code.

Actually there is. I just changed the pump on Sunday. It can come through the small metal oil pan without removing the larger aluminum pan. But it's not easy. You don't need the short snap-on universal socket, but you will need something to make some turns. I used a 1/4" flex extension and a 1/4" wobble extension. The more wrench and socket options you have, the better. Prying the metal oil pan off is a *****. I used Permatex black silicone to seal it back up and not the FelPro gasket. You have to remove five bolts, including one for the pickup tube bracket. And then the pick up tube has to be unbolted from the pump before getting the pump out. Make sure to get the blue o-ring for the pick up tube. The wiring for the solenoid is very short. Makes getting everything back in place a pain. Job sucks. It's a puzzle that took six hours start to finish (this included a lot of staring at things trying to decide if it would come out or not). Small hands help. I bit the bullet and bought the Mopar part at the dealer. Seems most online places are out of stock. I didn't want to use aftermarket and then second guess the job.

could you post the order/ steps you did to put the pump back in. I’m having some trouble.

I unclipped the solenoid wiring from the pump, fed the connector to the hole in the block and then pushed the clip back onto the pump (not easy). Then stick the pickup tube in the pan, shove the pump onto the tube and screw them together. Then finagle the pump in place and work on the five bolts. Helps to get the chain tucked off to the side.

I have a 2014 Dodge Charger SE and need to replace my oil pump as well, do you have to mess with the timing chain at all? I have a quote from a shop telling me I also have to replace the timing chain.

Sounds like an ignition component failure check for proper resistance through primary and secondary ignition coil windings, refer to service repair manual for exact specs, also the ignitor magnetic pick up may be not up to snuff, the only other ignition component to replace or check is the ignition module and/or plug wires themselves, sometimes when extreme demand is put on the ignition system the plug wires must be high quality and completely isolated from one another. Spark plug wires when routing cannot come in contact with one another in the slightest proximity.

Get a can of CRC Mass Air Flow sensor or Electronic Parts cleaner. Disconnect the connector for the Injector Pump and clean out the contacts. Use a small needle nose to PUSH the contacts into the connector. Use the reset of the can to clean out other electrical connector. Use OBDII scanner or disconnect negative battery cable to reset code.

P06DD Code - Bad Oil Pump?

Add to quote

Hi all, 2013 Town & Country check engine light came on with a code P06DD. Brought it to the dealer and the said the oil pump needs to be replaced. Oil pressure seems fine, running fine so I find this really hard to believe. Only 20,000 miles and I never had an oil pump go bad on any of my other vehicles. I can see maybe a sensor or something. They didn't have the part so didn't repair yet and light has not come back on yet after a long trip. Is this a known problem or you think they are just trying to make some money since it's under warranty? Any recommendations? Appt is Monday to install new oil pump but I'm thinking of canceling and see if the light comes on again.

It's being done under warranty.....let them change the whole engine if they want!

I know it's under warranty but I always felt if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Welcome to the site wassct. I'm with you, I would not my engine cracked open by someone else unless it was 100% necessary. Warranty or not. While I have not seen this code P06DD mentioned on this site, a quick Google search shows other vehicles that use the same 3.6L engine having this code. Some owners were told it was there non stock filters causing it, others needed to have their oil pumps replaced. https://www.google.com/search?q=P06...69i57j69i60&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8

Could this error cause the van not to downshift when wanting to accelerate when already in motion? As I was getting onto a highway yesterday, the engine light came on and didn't notice anything until the next interchange where I tried to get around a tractor trailer that was ahead of me. I stepped on the gas and nothing. I could manually downshift but automatic was not responding. It shifts back to neutral when stopped and into first when I take off from a complete stop. But the P06DD is the only error the system is reading. Thanks Tim

LEVY said: Welcome to the forum. No, I don't think so. I had my CEL on for many months due to that code, not any other problem, vehicle ran fine. Been using WIX oil filters until a couple of weeks, took my vehicle to the dealer for something else. Dealer service manager told me I was using the wrong filter, they changed oil and filter. CEL remained on but service manager told me it should turn off after some driving. Sure enough, CEL went off for good. Click to expand...

So I got the same code, is the oil pump bad? Had oil leak they said caused the computer problems they cleaned up all contacts had it running normal 3 days then went to this problem. Not in limp mode however it won't coast seems to stay in fourth gear?

Welcome to the forum. Check your pressures on both, low and high RPM's, if OK, then, don't worry. On my case, I was using Wix filters, no problems gor many changes but one day, right after oil and filter change I got that code along With the C.E.L. I ran it like that for many, many miles, until I visited a dealer in Mexico, they told me that I had the wrong brand of filter, replaced it at not charge and few miles later the C.E.L. banished. Good luck!

welcome to the forum . I know this may not apply to our vans but it seems like it's worth mentioning , my brotherinlaw has a RAM 1500 with the 3.6L engine and he had problems with his truck like you described , he had it into the dealer and they changed the oil pump along with a few other parts and the problems remained . Then one of the techs at the dealer decided to pull the oil filter off and found that the garage that did the last oil change didn't put the O-RING back on the filter , once they put it back on he had no more problems at all and that was over 100,000 KM ago.

Check Engine Light won't go off P06DD Code I'm interested to know if wiredcur has had anymore problems. I have had the CEL light on and off for over a year now with P06DD code. I have had the oil pressure sensor replaced twice and an oil pump and the alternator, lots of money. Check Engine Light still on, had to get a waiver for the inspection sticker because I've spent well over $1000 trying to get the CEL light off and it is still on. The dealer has basically washed their hands of me, they said Chrysler said it is an internal mechanical failure! The only problem I experience is the exact one you describe above "I stepped on the gas and nothing. I could manually downshift but automatic was not responding". Entering the thruway nothing happens when I try to accelerate, stays at 40 mph until I downshift and then upshift with the automatic transmission. Very frustrating, dangerous and expensive.

Hey LEVY - Is that you when oil prices go down or maybe when you run out of tequila?

Probably when oil prices are going down. I'm expecting oil price to go up very soon, my yard is already empty, sold all my inventory last week to different customers. Oilfield workers are happy.

I'm having the same issue that you describe and they are finally replacing the oil pump under warranty after 6 months of taking it back and forth to the dealer. Every 3 weeks it needed a quart of oil and I don't see it leaking on the ground. They tried to tell me I was using the wrong oil filters, type of oil, etc. etc. They kept saying it needed software updates, I told them to do them. We shall see what it does when I get it back. 2013 T&C with 94,000.

Same issue with my 2012 GC 3.6 transmission & check engine light, it won't downshift. I pull over, shut it off, restart & it resets the shifting (check engine light stays on). I don't know the code, but the mechanic recommends an oil pump. Chrysler shop could not find even the oil pump recommendation & left without a repair, but this mechanic has his own shop and found others with this issue. Found out that the oil pump has been updated 6 times by Chrysler, mine has the original version. Did this new oil pump work for others, or the OE oil filter ? Wiredcur & DRSheck, lemme know please.

Filter fixed my issue. I just had the exact problem on my 2012 GC Crew model with the 3.6. I did replace the oil pressure sensor but ultimately replacing the filter with the Mopar branded one corrected the issue for me. Sometimes it would throw the vehicle into somewhat of a "limp mode". Not the stuck in 2nd gear limp mode but one where the engine is not allowed to auto downshift and also not allow the engine to get over 3500 rpm. Pulling over and turning the engine off for a second would reset this. This is due to the "possible" oil pressure issue from the P06dd code and the engine trying to preserve itself. The oil pump is a two stage setup and its my understanding that the first stage is up to 3500 rpm and thats why it will not allow it to go over that rpm. Not allowing it to auto downshift is just another way to keep the rpm's from spiking.

Replacing the oil pump fixed my 2012 GC issue, it had a failed solenoid.

Hey all, Just joined the forum in a frantic quest for answers, seems to be a good place with solid know-how and experience. Having a similar issue on a 2013 town and country touring limited, 3.6l, not the flex fuel version. Engine just recently had a misfire caused by defunct plugs, followed by the alternator popping. Had the oil changed by the dealer when they replaced the alternator, and now having code p06dd come up. I don't think its the filter, though I understand that can cause flow issues, nor the pan/drain plug, as the drivers side of the engine has oil spray everywhere, primarily focused on the top of the transmission and back. I dont see anything on that side of the engine that could be spraying oil, and I'm talking serious amounts of oil. I've already had to add nearly 10 quarts of oil to replace whats been lost, but I can't find the leak for the life of me, as it only happens under pressure when driving or cruising. What oil system related components are on the drivers side of the engine that could leak that much oil while driving? Is it possible that the new oil filter the dealer used could be causing enough back pressure to cause the oil to spray past a gasket somewhere while under driving conditions? I'm decently versed in mechanics, been doing oil and fluids, brakes, plugs, repairs and mods of the sort for a few years, so I'm hesitant to take the van back to the dealer when this is the first time this has happened in nearly 70k miles. Also doesnt help that have less the 48 hours to move and entire 2 bed apartment, and only got the van. Thanks all for any help or advice, Tay

My money is on a cracked oil cooler housing. The lube tech probably torqued the oil filter cap down too tight causing the body of the oil cooler housing to crack. Look down below the oil filter cap and see if there is oil pooling below it...my guess is you will find alot. Take it back to the dealer and have them replace the oil cooler and you should be GTG. Interesting this happened to a '13...if it does in fact turn out to be the oil cooler, this will be the first report on here. Keep us posted.

Hi. Just thought I'd ad some experience to this conversation. Working on a 2016 T&C. Experienced a P06DD today. As most do, I hit the internet in search of answer. I started reading horror stories of failed oil pumps, the use of non-OEM oil filters, dirty oil, dealers blaming oil changes, etc. I got worried. I read more stories about wrong filters and wrong oil types, and finger pointing at certain filter brands... So just for giggles, I pulled my filter. Guess what I found? The new to 2014+ bypass valve built into cap decided it no longer wanted to be built in. The retainer sheared off and sent itself to the internal passage of the oil filter, causing a major obstruction. This was apparent when monitoring my oil pressure as well. Sometimes at idle I was in the very low 20's and sometimes just shy of 30psi. Sometimes the oil pressure would ramp up with RPM increase, sometimes it would stay level. I started to believe the oil pump had or was starting to go bad. Until I pulled the filter and found what I found. I ran to the local Oreilly and picked up the Dorman cap for $10, fished out the remnants of the last cap, put things back together, and magically deliciously, I have my oil pressure back (and it ramps up/down with RPM as it should). Hope this helps some others through a panic situation and serves as at least being something to rule in or out. Oil filter housing cap bypass valve. Hope these keywords help somebody else in need.

What is the Dorman cap you speak of? Can you be more specific? Thanks

Do you think this may have happened during a rushed oil change or was a defective part?

I don't believe that would cause oil pressure problems, is not what is for.

Hello all I'm currently having some of the same issue that I've read in this chat.... where my van doesn't want to accelerate (goes into safe/limp mode?) then the error code of P06DD will pop up. If I pull over and restart the van the downshifting issue seems to go away for a while. However the check engine light will come on and off as it please with no specific driving conditions that I can find. I drive a 2012 VW Routan but the VW guys are clueless as the van is basically a Chrysler alas why I am here looking for real solutions from you fine folks. I know Levy suggested to get an OE mopar oil filter, but I'm not sure if he ever had the downshifting/ accelerating issues. So for those of you that did have the accelerating issues what did you end up doing that fixed the problem? Thanks a lot, please help your Routan Step-brother out

Hi. I recentl joined the forum due to getting this P06DD code AND having the car get up to 5th gear then refuse to auto shift. As with others here it would manual shift and reset for a short while when the ignition is shut off. For me it was a low oil issue. Once I topped it off (three quarts ?) and cleared the code (my code reader allowed me to do this?) The problem is now gone. I'm really happy that a car company has finally put a low oil type warning on their car instead of only finding out when the dreaded red oil light comes on and it's too late. I'm usually good at staying on top of the maintainence of my vehicles but I've been busy of late and really let this one slip. I use Fram extra guard filters and have never had this issue before and I've used three of them so far. I never used the Mopar one because it doesn't filter as efficiently as the fram BUT that must be how the system knows it's not original as it can measure the flow difference. Anyway, thanks for the great forum. Places like these are awesome for those of us who can't afford or can't stand paying high dealer prices for repairs.

50K miles of P06DD... Same Issue: P06DD. 2013 Grand Caravan, 3.6 Pentastar with about 80K miles. Problem first appeared around 34K -- just before warranty expired. Dealer "replaced sensor and filter" (I'm told) and said "If problem comes back we'll need to replace oil pump". Problem came back a month or so later, so they replaced the oil pump. (I'm told)... I'm very suspicious of this particular dealer - especially since removed parts always seem to mysteriously be "discarded" when I've picked up the vehicle, despite me asking them to keep stuff. No trouble for the next 10K or so, then saw P06DD again. After reading about issue I tried several different filters (Fram, Wix, Mopar and I think Purolator), and have experienced the same problem on at least two different filters of each brand. It's NOT THE FILTER... On my GC anyway. Filter cap and housing all look good - no leaks. COULD be the fact that I run synthetic oil (Mobil-1 5W20) and always have - perhaps the flatter viscosity profile confuses the pressure diagnostic? Only possible clue I can offer is that problem seems more likely to occur if I have revved the engine (4K or so?) when not fully warmed up. I still have no certainty of what was actually replaced nearly 50K miles ago, but I have some doubts they really opened the motor. And now that it's way past warranty I'm not so anxious to do it myself or pay the dealer what will certainly be a tidy sum... QUESTION: Is there a way to monitor oil temp or pressure via a cheap, ELM27 OBD scanner? Using Torque-PRO software on Android, and lots of params available but not oil. If I can set up a custom PID to watch oil, please let me know! Thinking to just install a standalone pressure gauge unless the sending unit can double for this. The only situation concerns me is too little oil pressure at any time - that I'd want to fix. Otherwise, it's an annoyance that I might just live with. My current solution is to keep the OBD scanner in the glove box and reset whenever the CEL comes on. The vehicle ABSOLUTELY enters "save the motor" mode - won't upshift to 6th gear, short-shifts all upshifts, and won't auto-downshift even if floored. Very dangerous IMO, but I suppose if the motor is really endangered I'd rather have this situation.

Yeah I've been clearing the code myself too. It always seems to come back on again every time I'm entering the highway going uphill on one of those 4 leaf clover entrances. Trying to merge on he highway going 45mph is no fun. It was finally warm enough yesterday to change out the oil and filter myself. I used the mopar and 6.25 quarts of 5w30 synthetic (sale at menards.) I only got about 4.5 quarts out so that might have been part of the problem. But so far the code hasn't popped back yet. fingers crossed.

I have a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country with now 88,000 miles. Back in late October of '18 we experienced this ubiquitous P06DD CEL code. At the same time our engine was also exhibiting the return of the rocker roller bearing failure "ticking" (That were replaced in the left cylinder head at #4 cylinder along with the intake camshaft @ 54,000 miles). Our van was also exhibiting intermittent shifting issues where where we had to pull over, stop and turn off the van and then restart. 2 weeks later I took our son to school and after I stopped the van to let him out it would no longer shift and went into "limp mode". I had it towed to the dealership where we had every service as recommended performed up to 60,000 miles (after we took it to one of the highest rated area shops in Sacramento CA) and they told me I needed a new valve body on the transmission. I was already in discussion with service manager about the rocker roller bearings failing so soon (there tech misdiagnosed the new sounds as coming from the right cylinder head- apparently he did not know the left cylinder head is in the front on front wheel drive 3.6). They wanted 1200 in labor and 1000 for the valve body. I asked how they made the determination and he said his top tech told him that was the issue. We had our van towed to (again one of the highest rated transmission specialty shops in Sacramento) for a second opinion. Unlike Roseville Chrysler the transmission specialty shop actually pulled the pan. I went over and he showed me the metallic fluid and massive metal particulate matter on the magnet in the pan. He said the necessary repair was replacement of the transmission. I purchased a new Chrysler rebuilt transmission from Folsom Lake Chrysler for 2400 and the shop installed the new transmission for 1,000. I then returned to the "ticking noise" *BTW the CEL was now off. Folsom Lake Chrysler found the rocker roller bearing @ the #4 cylinder (now on the exhaust side) and the cam shaft were damaged. They did the repairs at my cost of 1,100 dollars. 3 days after repairs the ticking returned. They torn down the left cylinder head and found other rocker roller bearings had now become damaged and now nicked the intake camshaft AGAIN (This was replaced by Chrysler @ 54,000). I now got FCA (Fiat Chrysler America) involved with tear down photos and invoicing from the two weeks prior (took a week to get van back in and torn down) So FCA agreed to replace the intake cam shaft and all rocker roller bearings in the left and right cylinder heads since the rocker roller bearing part (new to my knowledge from my service writer) had been upgraded. Dealership also performed an oil change. So the tear down, approval and such took almost a month. 4 days after return of our van the CEL comes back on. The code P06DD. They bring the van back in and perform a oil pressure test and all checks out ok and the CEL code clears. Now for the past month and a half the light has come on and off. Van seemed to stumble a little but otherwise no significant performance differences until @ a week ago when the CEL light came back on and on the freeway it would not shift up to 6th. Now after all the money and BS we have been through I called the dealership and they said to bring it back in. Honestly this van and veh is REALLY trying my patience. We chose it after almost 2 years review and driving competition. (The 3.6 was named one of Ward's best V6) My wife like the T&C best and the value was unbeatable. We have EVERY record from every service ever performed and we have cared for this van meticulously. The past few months we have spent almost 5,000 and tons of time and I am at my wits end. The P06DD per my research can be a incorrect oil filter (2011-2013) are one and 2014 and up are another filter. It could have been put in upside down? It could be the oil pressure sensor that seems to fail often in these motors (and has been redesigned so make sure they replace with the 5149062AB and not the old AA part) OR it can be the oil pump. It's a load of crap really. Even the dealerships don't really know and you can spend hundreds or 1,000's and even then have the P06DD CEL return. This is inexcusable for any veh or motor to have so many issues and variables with so few miles

I have a feeling you are about to have to replace the transmission. See my experiences below.

[/QUOTE]All vehicles have some kind of warning, nothing new. If you read owner manual, warranty would be void if you run your engine low on oil or overheated because you have warnings and you should not keep driving your vehicle after you got any of such warning. Now, 3 quarts low? Topped it off? I would call it a refill instead! Glad you joined this forum, keep visiting us often, you'll find it interesting. What year-model vehicle you have?[/QUOTE] It's a 2012 SXT with the U-connect that does not connect because it's the lowest version of it. DVD, Sirius but no Bluetooth? DVD is great for keeping the kids quite on long road trips and is one of the main reasons I got it, besides having 3 kids and needing the extra room. I very quickly realized that I had a leak coming from the oil filter adaptor. I ordered a new one and tore into my induction system. I'm wishing I just ordered a seal set because that's all it was. Oil seals had lost their elasticity. But ........ I had the new piece so in it went with new induction gaskets too. There was that much oil around there that it had been getting past the gaskets and there was a lovely gunk layer on the inside of the fuel injection intakes. I used carb cleaner and a flat screw driver to scrape and clean it out. I flushed the injectors with it too. The motor has never run so good. My avarage mpg had climbed by 2mpg in just a week! I've got a new seal set and I'm going to clean up the oil filter adaptor I took off and sell it. So if anyone needs one, let me know! I just fitted all new KYB shocks and struts today too. It feels like a whole new van. The old ones were 127,000 miles old.

Following this thread for now. Been having an intermittent P06DD code. 2011 Routan about 94k miles on it now. first time was about 3k miles after last oil change by dealer we bought van from. Codes always kicked in under harder acceleration when the engine ran up past 4k RPM (I cleared and tested a couple times). But it did not throw the code every time, It threw it maybe twice before I got around to doing an oil change. Most times the van just drove great with no code! So I went ahead and did oil change, switched to Mopar filter, Reset oil change light. Oil level was great honestly, I dont see any indication of oil consumption or leaks. So I was good for a few weeks after that oil change. Im maybe 500 miles since the oil change now. This week, on Monday and Wednesday morning, the P06DD code tripped while crusing at a comfortable 45-50 mph, around 1500 rpm, with little to no load on the drivetrain (exact same location on the same road each day even). Being under such little load and the code being tripped seemed odd. Both times van went into limp mode until I shut off and restarted van which seems to be the norm for this code for me (short shifting, 6th gear not engaging). And after that first restart the van drives great, and the codes clear themselves after a few drive cycles.

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

P06DD Dodge Journey: A Common Code With Uncommon Fixes
Wrong Oil Filter. Penstar engines will often get P06DD when the wrong type of oil filter was used. If you've recently had your oil changed and the check engine light came on, this is a very likely cause. When replacing your Journey's oil filter, verify the oil pressure bypass valve is intact. A missing bypass valve is a less likely cause ...

P06DD Code: Engine Oil Pressure Control Stuck Off
Diagnostic trouble code(DTC) P06DD stands for "Engine Oil Pressure Control Stuck Off.". On a GM or Dodge system, this would mean the pressure would always be at the higher (65psi) setting and would never drop to the lower (30 psi) setting even when commanded to do so. A pressure relief valve in the oil pump bleeds off oil to the inlet side ...
Code P06DD and oil all over
I think that oil was coming out there and running down the back side of the housing and then worked its way around the engine and pulled up over what looks like the transmission closest to the firewall. I also found these reasons why a P06DD code is thrown: - Low or dirty engine oil. - Faulty Oil Pressure Sensor.
Code P06DD Dodge Dual Stage Oil Pump Stuck Low
Labor: 1.0. To diagnose the P06DD Dodge code, it typically requires 1.0 hour of labor. The specific diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops can differ based on factors such as the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. It is common for most auto repair shops to charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
P06dd Code: Oil Pressure Issue (Causes and How to Fix)
Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P06DD is indicative of a discrepancy between anticipated and actual engine oil pressure, at various engine speeds. This code, itself, is largely manufacturer-specific and is most common among Dodge and Ford vehicles. The presence of this fault also denotes a potential oil control valve failure.
P06DD: Engine Oil Pressure Control Circuit Stuck Off
If the P06DD is accompanied by related check engine codes such as P0520, P0521, P0522, P0523, or P06DA, they'll address them first. They'll clear the code and test drive the vehicle to see if the P06DD code returns. Step 2. Check Engine Oil. If code P06DD returns, the mechanic will check for a low oil level.
P06DD
Code: P06DD. Definition: Engine Oil Pressure Control Circuit Stuck Off. Description: The engine oil pump features seven vanes and a moving element that continuously adjusts to maintain a regulated oil pressure supply by varying the displacement of the pump. The pump has two regulated pressure stages of operation controlled by an on/off solenoid.
P06DD
Some common causes of code P06DD could include one or more of the following-. Damaged, burnt, shorted, corroded, or disconnected wiring and/or electrical connectors in the oil control solenoid's control circuits (Most common) Low oil levels (Common) A restricted or clogged screen on the oil pick-up tube in the oil pan.
Troubleshooting P06DD: What It Means + How To Fix It?
Here's how can resolve the P06DD code: Add more engine oil after checking oil levels: A high engine oil level increases the oil flowing in the oil path. Change engine oil if the oil is dirty or old: Dirty oil results in poor engine health and clogged oil intake port's filter. The blocked port restricts the oil entry into the pump while ...
Dodge Code P06DD: Engine Oil Pressure Control Circuit Stuck Off
The final potential cause of the Dodge Code P06DD is a dual-stage oil pump. If the pump settings are incorrect, the engine will be unable to produce enough oil pressure. The best solution is to adjust the oil pump settings to the correct settings. Conclusion. Dodge Code P06DD is triggered when the engine's oil pressure drops too low.
