P1D5D Code Symptoms :

See P1D5D in engine

There are currently two main types of cylinder deactivation used today, depending on the type of engine. P1D5D code for the pushrod design which uses solenoids to alter the oil pressure delivered to the lifters. In their collapsed state, the lifters are unable to elevate their companion pushrods under the valve rocker arms, resulting in valves that cannot be actuated and remain closed.

Diagnosis And Repairing P1D5D

P1D5D OBD2 specifically refers to the camshaft (cam) timing. In this case, if the cam timing is over-retarded, the engine light will be illluminated and the code will be set.

How to fix P1D5D code ?

See P1D5D repair manual
  • EVAP system hose leaking
  • Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1 circuit poor electrical connection
  • Continuous oil flow to the VCT piston chamber
  • Incorrect fuel pressure

One example of this would be when an bmw automatic car in placed in gear. To prevent the added drag from the torque converter and transmission from reducing the idling speed, the PCM will command the idle control valve to allow more air to enter the engine, while at the same time, adjusting the injector pulse width to inject more fuel to suit the increased amount of air. Note that the idle air control valve is closed by the PCM when the throttle plate is opened to prevent excess air from entering the engine.
