RAM P1416: Cylinder 6 Reactivation Control Performance
OVERVIEWWhat Does The RAM P1416 Code Mean?
When all criteria has been met, power is supplied to each MDS Solenoid when the engine is making a transition from 8 cylinder mode to 4 cylinder mode. By actuating the solenoid, oil pressure is raised to the pair of lifters that coincide with each particular solenoid. The oil pressure pushes in the locking pins that allows the lifter to collapse, decoupling the valves and camshaft.
What Are The Potential Causes Of The RAM P1416 Code?
- MDS solenoid 6 control shorted to voltage
- Oil passages restricted
- Lifter
- MDS solenoid 6
- Powertrain control module (PCM)
