P0021 and P0524??
Hey guys,
Car is in limp mode pulling codes P0021 and P0524. Checked oil level and its fine.
I have a Takeda CAI. Just passed the 63k miles mark, and will most likely take it to dealer, but wanted to check here first to see if anyone has any insight into these codes and what I should expect from the dealership.
Can the CAI be the issue?
Thx!
For those that might be experiencing the same codes
Update: It ended up being that they needed to replace gaskets. All sensors were functioning properly. Car was in shop for about 3 days and was covered under power train warranty. (6 year/70k)
Timing Chain Cover Gasket Rear
Gasket Oil Gallery - JK21A
Gasket Front Cover - JK21B
Gasket Solenoid EY01A & JA10B

You can reset the MIL and drive normally for a while (a few hundred miles) until it triggers the code again.
Your problem is probably the oil pressure and or camshaft position sensors. If it's under warranty let them handle it. If not, it's not very expensive or difficult.

What's a bit odd to me is that it had a small but discernible intermittent misfire at warm idle before (just a slight stumble every minute or two) before changing the sensors out. Did you notice this on yours? It's easy to miss it if you aren't paying attention to the car. Now it seems to be gone but the problem still isn't fixed. I'm debating taking this information back to the shop that attempted repair before and giving them another chance or just having the dealership do it. Yours was covered under warranty but do you know the number of labor hours by chance?

This happened to me 4 days ago.
2009 G37S 26,000 miles.
Check engine light came on, RPM would not go above 2500, got code P0524.
Took to dealer, he said my Fram oil filter might cause the issue. So he charged me $55 for oil change. But he also replaced "switch assy - oil pres - 25240 - 4m40e" ($21) under warranty.
I will report back if the issue comes back.
Thanks.

It's not your oil filter or any sensor. It's the gasket at the rear if the timing cover that's leaking. There's other threads about it as well. If you haven't exceeded 6 years in service the power train warranty should cover it. I hope so because it costs about $3K out of pocket.

I am still under 6 years powertrain warranty. His service manager told me some BS about the way I do my own oil change, etc ......Stupid....trying to blame me because I don't go to them for oil change.

Roger that. That is what I told the service guy a month ago but of course he did not listen.
