P3497 MDS rationality Bank 2

The MDS uses oil pressure to make a transition from 8 cylinder mode to 4 cylinder mode. In order for this code condition to occur there would be insufficient oil pressure acting on the lifter locking pin. When it comes to this type of system it is also important to use the proper oil weight that  the engine requires which would be 5w-20.This code is common to the oil pump problem
