Hello friends,

newish E450 wagon owner here. Purchased used with about 60k miles on it. Just getting to 70k now. One owner car, in great shape.

We were driving the car the other day and the CEL popped on. I ran it through my scanner and the P06DA code came up. I’ve done extensive reading on this and it’s clearly related to either the oil pressure solenoid itself, or the wiring loom.
In most of the reading I’ve done, everyone seems to indicate this will not cause a cel. Well, the only code that my Autel MD808 comes back with (even after clearing) is P06DA control circuit open

My question to any techs out there: is it possible that the solenoid is stuck in the LOW pressure circuit? Is there a way to test for this (I realize there aren’t oil pressure sensors on these cars) Has anyone here actually had this happen to them? Has anyone replaced the solenoid themselves?

If this is the case I’m going to have the car towed to my local Indy to have the solenoid replaced (I will likely unplug it to keep the circuit on normal pressure, but if it’s faulty/stuck in low pressure it needs replaced asap before causing damage).

thanks everyone

Here is a YouTube link to the sound of my M276 - I get “ticking” noise from the front right of the motor by the fuel filter, and at the rear. Do these seem normal for you fellow M276 turbo owners?
