P1524 code

[Edward Tamasi]

I got this code yesterday, variable intake solenoid valve. I checked my oil level and nothing on the dipstick. Where is my oil going. The catch can was only 1/3 full. I do not see any smoke on start up or acceleration. Anybody else get this???

This is what I find when I search.

P1524 CHRYSLER Oil Pressure Out Of Range Camshaft Advance / Retard Disable.
P1524 DODGE Oil Pressure Out Of Range Camshaft Advance / Retard Disable.

Oil pressure could be out of range due to a low oil level.

How many miles on your truck?

Have you ever replaced the PCV valve?

Have you taken off the rad cap and or checked your overflow for oil?

Compression check?

I added 3 quarts, hooked up the Trinity and was getting 55psi at idle and 68psi cruising. 38K miles, I had the radiator cap off the other day checking fluid levels. I emptied the catch can 2 days ago, only 1/3 filled.

So when was the last time the oil level was checked?

How many miles did it take to use those 3 quarts?

Your truck has very low miles for a 2012 but it is a 7 year old truck now.

An improperly functioning PCV will cause excessive oil consumption.

If it is not dripping it or pushing it into the coolant it is burning it.
