Thanks,

Steve,

it is the Oil Pressure Out Of Range Camshaft Advance / Retard Disable

Low engine oil level
Faulty Oil Pressure Sensor
Oil Pressure Sensor harness is open or shorted
Oil Pressure Sensor circuit poor electrical connection

Regards,

Brian

First check your oil level & oil condition. This code can get logged if the oil level is low or the oil & filter need to be changed (use 5W20 oil).

For the Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) to enable, the oil pressure has to be approximately 42 psi. For the VCT to remain enabled the engine oil pressure can not drop below 31 psi.

The onboard diagnostics monitor for this condition when the engine running, RPM is greater than or equal to 1100 and the oil temperature is less than or equal to 212°F.
The onboard diagnostics will set P1524if the engine oil pressure never reaches the calibrated specification required for VCT activation.

Location of the oil pressure sensor is under the alternator. Couldn't find a Dodge Charger video but the 5.7L in a Durango is close enough.
