yoda598 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Hey guys, this will be a long one! I recently swapped engines in my turbo territory. We left the loom on the inlet manifold as we removed it. There is no damage as far as I can see. New engine has gone in and runs like a champ. Except I'm getting very odd codes. Code P0520 (oil pressure switch/circut fault) and P0196 (oil temperature sensor out of range) We have tested the engine with a mechanical gauge and it has good pressure. Have replaced the pressure sensor as a precaution. No change. So I was wonder if I turned off the codes would the VCT still work as the ecu has no reference as to pressure or temp. Cheers, Tyler.

Roland@pcmtec Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Are you sure it's not inverted? The F6 strategies flip the digital input. See the BA independent VCT thread for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda598 Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 Shouldn't be, nothing was changed in the tune during the engine swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffwagon Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Vct works without the oil pressure switch connected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
