Start by checking the "Possible Causes" listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector's pins.Tech Notes
This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may set in high ambient temperature conditions when the correct oil type (viscosity) is being used in the Engine. If correct oil viscosity is used, but the code keeps coming back, reprogramming (refreshing) the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will take care of the problem.What is the cost to diagnose the P1521 JEEP code

P1521 JEEP Meaning
Using the oil pressure, oil temperature and other vital engine inputs the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) can determine the engine oil viscosity. Incorrect viscosity will affect the operation of the MDS by delaying cylinder activation. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set when the PCM has detected an incorrect engine oil viscosity.More Information
