About P06DA

P06DA is a generic (obd-ii standard) powertrain diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the P-prefix family of codes, which covers engine, transmission, emissions, or fuel-system faults.

When P06DA is stored, the module has detected an open (broken or disconnected) electrical path in the monitored circuit; and a signal or supply voltage higher than the expected operating range.

Scanning & clearing: A generic OBD-II scan tool will usually read and clear powertrain (P) codes. For live data, freeze-frame capture, and bi-directional tests you may need a more capable scan tool that supports the vehicle's ECM protocol.

Because P06DA is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.

Code Information

The engine oil pressure control solenoid valve regulates oil flow within a variable pressure lubrication system, allowing the engine control module to vary oil pressure according to engine speed, load, and temperature for optimum lubrication and fuel economy. The control module drives this solenoid through a dedicated output circuit and monitors the circuit resistance and feedback voltage to confirm the solenoid is responding correctly. DTC P06DA sets when the module detects circuit resistance above the calibrated threshold, or an open circuit, in the solenoid control line for longer than the ...
