P06DA on Ford vehicles indicates engine oil pressure control circuit/open. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Ford model — most commonly on Edge. This code indicates the engine computer detected an open circuit (or other fault) in the engine oil pressure control circuit, typically the wiring or solenoid that regulates a variable-displacement oil pump. The PCM monitors this circuit to maintain proper oil pressure for lubrication and variable valve timing. Because loss of oil pressure can quickly cause severe engine damage, this should be treated as urgent. Typical repair costs on Ford range from $1,500 to $3,000, depending on the specific model and root cause.

Common Causes of P06DA

  • •Faulty oil pump control solenoid/valve
  • •Open or shorted wiring in the control circuit
  • •Corroded or loose solenoid connector
  • •Low oil level or low oil pressure
  • •Faulty oil pressure sensor
  • •PCM control circuit fault

  • 2.0L EcoBoost Water Pump Failure and Coolant Leak2015-2024

    The 2.0L EcoBoost engine in the 2015-2024 Edge uses an internally mounted water pump driven by the timing chain. When this pump fails, it leaks coolant internally into the engine oil, contaminating the lubrication system and potentially causing severe engine damage. Unlike a traditional water pump that leaks externally and gives visual warning, this internal failure can go undetected until oil analysis or engine damage reveals it. The pump is buried inside the engine behind the timing cover.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does P06DA mean on Ford?▼

P06DA stands for "Engine Oil Pressure Control Circuit/Open." This code indicates the engine computer detected an open circuit (or other fault) in the engine oil pressure control circuit, typically the wiring or solenoid that regulates a variable-displacement oil pump. The PCM monitors this circuit to maintain proper oil pressure for lubrication and variable valve timing. Because loss of oil pressure can quickly cause severe engine damage, this should be treated as urgent. On Ford specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.

What causes P06DA on Ford vehicles?▼

Common causes on Ford: Faulty oil pump control solenoid/valve, Open or shorted wiring in the control circuit, Corroded or loose solenoid connector, Low oil level or low oil pressure, Faulty oil pressure sensor. Specific causes vary by model and year — see the per-model sections below.

How much does it cost to fix P06DA on a Ford?▼

Repair costs on Ford range from $1,500 to $3,000, depending on the specific model and root cause.
