DTC P1684 [13B-MSP]

DTC REFERENCE CHART

DTC P1684 Metering oil pump oil pressure sensor-oil pressure is low
DETECTION CONDITION 
  • It is that the oil pressure at the metering oil pump system is less than 40 kPa {0.41 kg/cm 2  , 5.8 psi}  continues for 10 s  , after specified period passes after the engine starts.

    Diagnostic support note 

  • This is a continuous monitor (Other.)
  • The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in the first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
  • The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • Low engine oil level
  • Engine oil leakage (oil hose and/or drain hose looseness)
  • Oil pressure sensor malfunction (abnormal characteristic)
  • Oil pump malfunction (oil pressure regulator stuck open)
  • Engine oil leakage between OCV and metering oil pump drain line (quick connector poor connection or comes off)
  • Looseness of oil pressure sensor
  • Looseness of OCV
  • OCV malfunction (stuck close)
  • PCM malfunction
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED 
  • Has FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2 VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY 
  • Verify related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability.
  • Is any related repair information available?
Yes Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.
  • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
3 VERIFY RELATED PENDING CODE OR STORED DTC 
  • Turn the ignition switch off, then to the ON position (engine off.)
  • Verify the related PENDING CODE or stored DTCs.
  • Are other DTCs present?
Yes Go to the appropriate DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE [13B-MSP] .)
No Go to the next step.
4 VERIFY THAT METERING OIL PUMP SYSTEM RELATED DTC 
  • Turn the ignition switch off, then to the ON position (engine off.)
  • Verify the related PENDING CODE or stored DTCs.
  • Is the DTC P0522, P0523, P1680, P1681, P1682, P1683, P1686 or P1687 present?
Yes Go to the appropriate DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE [13B-MSP] .)
No Go to the next step.
5 VERIFY ENGINE OIL LEVEL  Yes Go to the next step.
No Refill the engine oil to specified level, then go to the next step. (See ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT [13B-MSP] .)
6 VERIFY THAT ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE FROM ENGINE COMPONENT 
  • Verify that leakage engine oil from following;
    • Oil filter component
    • Oil pan
    • Housing
    • Oil cooler hose joint
    • Drain plug (looseness)
  • Does the engine oil leakage detected?
Yes Repair or replace the malfunctioning part, then go to Step 13.
No Go to the next step.
7 VERIFY WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN OIL PRESSURE SENSOR ABNORMAL CHARACTER OR ELSEWHERE 
  • Monitor the PID MOP_P_ACT using the M-NDS PID/data monitor function while the ignition switch is ON (engine off.) (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [13B-MSP] .)
  • Is the PID MOP P ACT value less than 0 kPa?
Yes Replace the oil pressure sensor, then go to Step 13. (See OIL PRESSURE SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [13B-MSP] .)
No Go to the next step.
8 INSPECT OIL PRESSURE  Yes Go to the next step.
No Inspect the oil pump.
  • If the oil pump is normal, replace the oil pressure regulator, then go to Step 13.
9 VERIFY THAT METERING OIL PUMP SYSTEM RELATED PART 
  • Verify that the joint point condition for the metering oil pump system (between engine and metering oil pump system drain through the metering oil pump.)
  • Are there poor connection, loose and/or engine oil leakage detected?
Yes Repair or replace the malfunctioning part, then go to Step 13.
No Go to the next step.
10 VERIFY OIL PRESSURE SENSOR INSTALLATION 
  • Verify that the installation oil pressure sensor.
  • Is the oil pressure sensor installed properly?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Install the oil pressure sensor properly, go to Step 13. (See OIL PRESSURE SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [13B-MSP] .)
11 VERIFY OCV INSTALLATION 
  • Verify that the OCV installation.
  • Is the OCV installed properly?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Install the OCV properly, go to Step 13. (See OIL CONTROL VALVE (OCV) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [13B-MSP] .)
12 INSPECT OCV  Yes Replace the OCV, then go to the next step. (See OIL CONTROL VALVE (OCV) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [13B-MSP] .)
No Go to the next step.
13 VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P1684 COMPLETED 
  • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
  • Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.
  • Start the engine and warm it up completely.
  • Is the same DTC present?
Yes Replace the PCM, then go to the next step. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [13B-MSP] .)
No Go to the next step.
14 VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE  Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE [13B-MSP] .)
No DTC troubleshooting completed.
