This is the check engine light code I'm getting, then my van starts to act up-
shifting poorly and 2000rpms at 80kms.The dealer has all kinds of maybes but no solution, Does anyone know how to attack this?

 

quick google shows something in regards to the oil filter. this is the 3.6l engine right? have u changed oil recently. use oem filter and correct grade oil.

here is one of the bulletins

MIL Illumination P06DD - Engine Oil Pressure Control Circuit Stuck Off Due To Incorrect Oil Filter

Discussion:
Vehicles have been showing up at Dealers with Diagnostic Trouble Code P06DD set. One cause of

this DTC has been determined to be that the wrong oil filter has been installed after an oil change by
an independent repair facility or the Customer that has purchased the oil filter in the aftermarket.
These filters may be too short or even slightly too wide (fig. 1).
If this code is present, first verify that the correct Mopar oil filter has been installed. If the incorrect
filter is installed correct this condition and inform the customer that they should return to the point of
purchase for a refund.
The correct Mopar part number is 68079744AB.

 

Thanks I'll try that and repost.

 

If you are using the correct oil and filter. Then get the van into the dealer. It could be the oil pressure switch or the oil pump.

 

Thanks, the Mopar filter and 5w30 seems to satisfy my Caravan, Thanks again

 

sO HERE IT IS 2 MONTHS LATER, THE SAME CODE KEEPS COMING ON INTERMITTEDLY
AND THE RPMS ARE HIGH BUT THEN IT SHORTLY GOES BACK TO OK AND LIGHT USUALLY GOES OFF, ANY IDEAS?

 

I just had a Van with the same problem today, I already changed oil, filter, and a pressure sensor. And of course, code is stored, everything works fine when I was checking it.


I ordered a Oil Pump for it, I think it is the Control valve in the pump that's bad. But even after I replace the oil pump, I will not know if it truly fix the van for another 2 month.


I think you should ask your dealer to just replace the oil pump, they aren't too awfully difficult to change. Should be under 5yr100k powertrain warranty. Btw, the job will take few hours, so expect to drop your car off.

 

Take it to the dealership. I think You have a defective oil pump. You may have to wait 1-2 weeks to get the newly redesigned oil pump.

 

So, one year no change and 140kms and same code, 14l per 100km avg over 6 mos.
Any ideas? Thanks

 

disctaxi,

Have you had an opportunity to review further with your Dodge service dept?
