Cylinder Deactivation Pressure Sensor Bank 1

The engine control module has detected a fault with the bank 1 cylinder deactivation pressure sensor. Newer variable displacement systems use an analogue oil pressure sensor in addition to or in place of the legacy switch; a fault disables closed-loop deactivation control on bank 1.

Affected components

  • Oil pressure sensor
  • Engine wiring harness
  • Ecm

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Pressure sensor failed
  • Medium likelihood: Wiring or connector fault
  • Low likelihood: Sensor port contaminated by sludge

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
  • This code can affect emissions
  • A drive cycle may be required after repair
