P1521–INCORRECT ENGINE OIL TYPE
When Monitored:
Engine Running.
Set Condition:
Using the oil pressure, oil temperature and other vital engine inputs the PCM can determine the engine oil
viscosity. Incorrect viscosity will effect the operation of the MDS by delaying cylinder activation.
Possible Causes
INCORRECT ENGINE OIL TYPE
ENGINE OIL CONTAMINATION
ENGINE OIL
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
Diagnostic Test
1.ACTIVE DTC
NOTE: Review the customers oil change history. Make sure the customers is using the correct engine oil
viscosity. If the incorrect oil is being used, change the oil, using the correct engine oil viscosity.
Ignition on, engine off.
With the scan tool, read DTCs.

Theory of Operation
This DTC sets when an unexpected high intake manifold air flow condition exists that can lead to increased engine
speed and puts the NGC into a High Air flow Protection limiting mode. The High Air flow Protection feature includes
RPM limits for when a Throttle and/or MAP sensor limp-in fault is present.
When Monitored:
During all drive modes
Set Condition:
If vacuum drops below 1.5
Hg with engine RPM greater than 2000 RPM and closed throttle. One Trip Fault.
Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

NOTE: This code is enabled on engines with a plastic intake manifold and is intended to shut down the
engine if a large crack occurs.
NOTE: A large vacuum leak is most likely the cause of this DTC.
Inspect the Intake Manifold for leaks and cracks.
Inspect the Power Brake Booster for any vacuum leaks.
Inspect the PCV system for proper operation and vacuum leaks.
Inspect the throttle plate to see if it is bent and will close entirely, if itis bent it may need to be replaced.
Inspect the MAP Sensor for proper installation.
