In a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado, error code P06DD signals a problem with the oil pressure control solenoid valve in the engine. While it could indicate serious issues with the oil pump, it's common for this code to show up in 2014 Silverado models without any actual defects. General Motors suggests referring to a technical service bulletin (PIP5407) if the code persists even after diagnosing and replacing the faulty hardware. The main issue identified is a tensioner spring in the timing chain guide that might not fully seat into the guide pivot end, preventing proper functioning of the cycling oil pump control valve. For further steps, recommendations are provided based on the situation.
How can I fix this code?
The diagnostic code on the 2014 Chevy Silverado indicates that the engine oil pressure control circuit is stuck in the off position.
How can I fix my code?
My 2014 Chevy Silverado's engine light is still on, even after using a code reader to turn it off. Every time I restart the truck, the light comes back on. I replaced the oil sensor, but the issue persists. I've been driving like this for months with no problems, but the constant presence of the P06DD code is quite irritating.
My Tahoe had a problem and has been at the repair shop for over 60 days because it needed a new engine. This was due to finding metal shavings in the oil pump/pan when it was taken out for replacement.
