Oil Pressure Control Valve location?

[scanner-1]

2013 Cayenne Diesel

Problem:

P164E00 Oil pressure control valve: electrical fault

(No check engine light)

 

Does anybody have any idea where this valve is located on the 3.0L diesel? I think I have found EVERY sensor/control BUT this one--is it underneath the intake manifold?

I am not sure if you can get to this after removing the oil pan.

Many thanks Loren. That diagram was exactly what I needed. The valve in question is hiding in plain sight on the front of the engine, well obscured by the serpentine belt and a host of pulleys and not easily accessible due to radiator, etc.. For unknown reasons, the wiring was severed about four inches from the valve. The wiring harness gave me just enough play to back it out and do a soldering job in the left front wheel well. Reconnected and the code is now clear.

My next question is, what is your source for the diagram? Do you have a repair manual recommendation? Locating that particular diagram would have saved me hours of fruitless internet research--Thanks again!

Loren showed you a section of the exploded parts diagram for the vehicle, which you can find on multiple public websites such as board sponsor Sunset Porsche.
