Fixing P06DD Code: Oil Pressure Stuck on Low - 2016 Jeep Wrangler 3.6L Pentastar  

Any updates 😅 same happened with my 3.6 charger

Update is his fuel filter definitely didn’t do anything

​@@JasonLee-lv7tm Right. Lol. I was like what?

same!

Thanks for watching 👀 🙂 🙏

I had this on my 3.6 300 2013 I replaced the oil pressure sensor and it went away.

While removing the lower oil Pan is a necessary step, it's usually just the beginning. this allows for the drainage of oil and initial access to the internal lower engine area.You would typically need to remove the timing chain and front engine cover to access the oil pump. This is a more involved process that requires careful alignment of timing marks upon reassembling to avoid engine timing issues. Depending on the specific design and the approach for the repair other components such as the harmonic balancer, various police, and possibly the front part of the exhaust system might need to be removed or disconnected.

I’m having a similar issue, cold star is about the same and operating temp drops back down to normal psi at idle but increases up to 100 given my throttle position.

Diagnostic Steps: Check Oil Level and Quality: Ensure the oil level is correct and the oil is clean and of the right viscosity. Inspect the Oil Pressure Solenoid/Valve: Check for any signs of damage or malfunction. This may require testing its operation with a scan tool that can command it on and off. Oil Pressure Test: Conduct a manual oil pressure test with a mechanical gauge to verify actual oil pressure against factory specifications for idle and operating RPMs. Electrical Circuit Check: Inspect the wiring and connectors for the oil pressure sensor and solenoid for any signs of damage or loose connections. Sensor and Solenoid Testing: Consider testing or replacing the oil pressure sensor and the oil pressure control solenoid, especially if they show signs of malfunction or if the wiring and mechanical tests return normal.

A drop in oil pressure at idle to 13 - 16PSI warrants invexcavation but it's not an immediate indication of a failing oil pump. Consider all potential causes and conduct a thorough diagnosis to pinpoint the issue. Regular maintenance, including timely oil and filter changes, is crucial and preventing these types of issues. Diagnostic steps to consider. Check oil level and quality ensure the oil level is correct and the oil is clean and of the right viscosity. replace oil filter. if it hasn't been changed recently, replace the oil filter. Mechanical oil pressure test. Conduct a test with a mechanical oil pressure gauge to get an accurate reading inspect for leaks. check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine professional diagnosis. If the issue persists it's advisable to have a professional mechanic contact a thorough diagnosis. They can check the oil pump, pressure relief valve, engine bearings, and other components. Wish you luck and thanks for watching 👀 🙏 😊

That's normal oil pressure on these engines at idle ... actually maybe high for idle

did you figure it out?

The P06DE code on a 2016 Jeep Wrangler with a 3.6L engine indicates an issue with the "Engine Oil Pressure Control Circuit Stuck On." This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) suggests that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has detected a problem with the engine's oil pressure control circuit, which is responsible for regulating the oil pressure through the operation of the oil pressure solenoid or valve. This is part of the system that controls variable oil pressure to optimize engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions. Given the symptoms you've described-about 12 psi oil pressure at idle but normal pressure above idle-here are a few potential causes and considerations: 1. Faulty Oil Pressure Solenoid/Valve - The oil pressure control solenoid or valve could be malfunctioning, stuck in the "on" position, which might not affect higher RPMs as much but can cause low pressure at idle. 2. Oil Viscosity - Incorrect oil viscosity can cause improper oil pressure readings. Ensure that the oil used matches Jeep's specifications for your climate and operating conditions. 3. Oil Pump Issue - While less likely given normal pressure at higher RPMs, issues with the oil pump can also lead to varying oil pressure readings. A partially blocked oil pickup or worn pump components could be a factor. 4. Oil Pressure Sensor or Circuit Problems - A faulty oil pressure sensor or issues within the wiring circuit (like shorts or opens) can trigger this code without there being an actual mechanical problem with oil pressure. 5. Engine Sludge or Blockage - Accumulation of sludge in the engine or blockages in oil passages can affect oil pressure, particularly at lower speeds or idle. Diagnostic Steps: 1. Check Oil Level and Quality: Ensure the oil level is correct and the oil is clean and of the right viscosity. 2. Inspect the Oil Pressure Solenoid/Valve: Check for any signs of damage or malfunction. This may require testing its operation with a scan tool that can command it on and off. 3. Oil Pressure Test: Conduct a manual oil pressure test with a mechanical gauge to verify actual oil pressure against factory specifications for idle and operating RPMs. 4. Electrical Circuit Check: Inspect the wiring and connectors for the oil pressure sensor and solenoid for any signs of damage or loose connections. 5. Sensor and Solenoid Testing: Consider testing or replacing the oil pressure sensor and the oil pressure control solenoid, especially if they show signs of malfunction or if the wiring and mechanical tests return normal. Recommendation: Given the complexity of diagnosing the P06DE code and the potential for it to be caused by a variety of issues, it's advisable to have a professional mechanic or a dealership with experience in Jeep vehicles perform a thorough diagnostic. They can pinpoint the exact cause of the low oil pressure reading at idle and the P06DE code, ensuring the correct repairs are made to restore your Wrangler's performance and reliability. Thanks for watching ;)

Could be in the pump itself

It should’ve been. The manufacturer knows but didn’t want to loose money
