1. Check the engine oil level.
Is the level OK?
YES - Go to step 2.
NO - Adjust the engine oil to the proper level, then go to step 21.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
3. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
4. Do the VTEC TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
Is the VTEC SYSTEM OK?
YES - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the VTEC oil pressure switch, the VTEC solenoid valve, and the PCM.
NO - Go to step 5.
5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
6. Disconnect the VTEC oil pressure switch 2P connector.
7. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
8. Check the VTEC oil pressure switch in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
Is ON indicated?
YES - Go to step 14.
NO - Go to step 9.
9. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
10. Remove the VTEC oil pressure switch (A) and install the special tools as shown, then install the VTEC oil pressure switch (A) to the oil pressure gauge adapter (B).
NOTE: Install the switch in the reverse order of removal with a new O-ring.
11. Start the engine.
12. Do the VTEC TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
13. Check the oil pressure.
Does the oil pressure increase to 392 kPa (4.0 kgf/sq.cm, 56.9 psi)?
YES - Replace the VTEC oil pressure switch, then go to step 21.
NO - Inspect the VTEC system. If it is OK. Replace the VTEC solenoid valve, then go to step 21.
14. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
15. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
16. Disconnect the VTEC oil pressure switch 2P connector.
17. Disconnect PCM connector B (44P).
18. Check for continuity between PCM connector term mat B23 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short in the wire between the PCM (B23) and the VTEC oil pressure switch, then go to step 19.
NO - Go to step 27.
19. Reconnect the VTEC oil pressure switch 2P connector.
20. Reconnect PCM connector B (44P).
21. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
22. Reset the PCM with the HDS.
23. Do the PCM idle learn procedure.
24. Do the VTEC TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
25. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?
YES - If DTC P2646 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the VTEC oil pressure switch, the VTEC solenoid valve and the PCM, then go to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
NO - Go to step 26.
26. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P2646 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate PASSED?
YES - Troubleshooting is completed.
NO - If the screen indicates FAILED, then go to step 1 and recheck. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 24 and recheck.
27. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM.
28. Do the VTEC TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
29. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?
YES - If DTC P2646 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the VTEC oil pressure switch, the VTEC solenoid valve and the PCM, then go to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
NO - If the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM.
