Electric Oil Pump Control Solenoid on a 2016 3.0l?

[q5sys]

I scanned my vehicle today with my Autel today and I came up with an out of range value for "Electric Oil Pump Control - Solenoid Position"

I've looked online, but cant seem to find anything about oil solenoids except for the older 5.0l engines. Even checking land rover parts sites don't come up with anything for a oil solenoid for the 3.0l.
So I'm wondering if its the following:

a) Autel is using the wrong name.
or
b) This is now integrated into the oil pump on the 3.0l engine, which is why there's no mention of it on its own (it has an electric plug of some kind)

Anyone got any ideas?

a) Autel probably giving incorrect DTC.
b) The solenoid is integrated with the oil pump. The solenoid opens a passage at low rpms to reduce oil pressure. Which is intended to reduce fuel consumption.

Thanks!
I just want to make sure I replace the correct part. Because whatever that is... is orders of magnitude out of spec... if the reading is valid.

Don't just go replacing parts because of a DTC.
That oil pump requires complete engine disassembly.
I have yet to see one of those oil pumps fail.

I appreciate the feedback.

I'm going to be doing the timing chains in a month or so, so I figured I'd have most of the parts off except for the oil pan and maybe the lower front cover. I wouldn't want to do the job and then have to take everything back off later. I'm a big proponent of "while I'm in there" maintenance.

Since I dont know if that'd be a positive or negative failure (fail and allow full flow or fail and restrict flow), my thoughts were replace just in case so that I dont do chains and then run lean on oil and burn up the new chains I'm putting in.

I can check the oil pressure at low/higher RPMs before committing to replacing it thought, do you happen to know what the pressures should be at idle and at higher revs?

I have a GAP tool as well, but I figured it'd provide less information than my autel 808.

If you're skeptical as to that part having a failure, any other things you'd recommend I check? Im new to Land Rovers so I'm learning as I go.

If you're doing the chains on the v6 you should probably replace the supercharger coupler and the oil for it while you are at it. Front and rear coolant cross over pipes too.

Yup, supercharger rebuild is on the list, I'm debating if I want to go ahead and swap the charger pulley with a 58mm one when its being rebuilt. Also planning on all new belts, pulleys, and tensioners, because why not. They have to come off to do the job, might as well bolt new ones back on in their place.

Oil pressures are as follows:
Idle 68F (temp) 29psi
1,500 rpm 68F 87psi
3,000 rpm 104F 90psi
3,000 rpm 230F 72psi
3,000 rpm 266F 58psi

Your Autel reading is 100. Which would be 100% duty cycle on the oil pump solenoid, commanded full open.
Rev the engine up and see if that % number drops.

Awesome, thanks for the info! I'll get that tested sometime this weekend or next week when I get a chance.
