P1521–INCORRECT ENGINE OIL TYPE
When Monitored:
Engine Running.
Set Condition:
Using the oil pressure, oil temperature and other vital engine inputs the PCM can determine the engine oil
viscosity. Incorrect viscosity will effect the operation of the MDS by delaying cylinder activation.
Possible Causes
INCORRECT ENGINE OIL TYPE
ENGINE OIL CONTAMINATION
ENGINE OIL
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
Diagnostic Test
1.ACTIVE DTC
NOTE: Review the customers oil change history. Make sure the customers is using the correct engine oil
viscosity. If the incorrect oil is being used, change the oil, using the correct engine oil viscosity.
Ignition on, engine off.
With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Is the DTC active at this time?

2.ENGINE OIL
NOTE: If any engine oil pressure or oil temperature DTCs set along with P1521, repair them before continu-
ing with the P1521 diagnostics.
The following conditions must be checked.
OEM recommended oil viscosity is being used.
Customer is following the oil change schedule.
Check the engine oil for contamination. (i.e., fuel and/or engine coolant)
Internal engine condition that may effect oil pressure.
Were any of the above condition found?
Ye s>>
Repair as necessary.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
No>>
Change the engine oil using the correct oil viscosity.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

No>>
Go To 5
CAUTION: Stop All Actuations.
2.FUEL PRESSURE
Turn the ignition off.
WARNING: The fuel system is under a constant pressure (even with the engineoff). Before testing or ser-
vicing any fuel system hose, fitting or line, the fuel system pressure mustbe released. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in personal injury or death.
Install a fuel pressure gauge at the engine.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, actuate the ASD FuelSystem test and observe the fuel pressure gauge.
NOTE: NOTE: Fuel pressure specification is 407 KPa +/- 34 KPa (59 psi +/- 5 psi).
Choose a conclusion that best matches your fuel pressure reading.

Turn the ignition off.
Remove the Fuel Pump Relay from the IPM.
Disconnect the Fuel Pump Module harness connector.
Measure the resistance of the (A109) Fuel Pump Relay Output circuit
from the relay connector to the fuel pump module connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Ye s>>
Replace the Fuel Pump Relay.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to
