Is the rocker arm oil control solenoid clicking?

YES

The rocker arm oil control solenoid is OK. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM.

NO

Failure in the rocker arm oil control solenoid. Replace the rocker arm oil control valve.

3. VTEC system oil pressure check.

  1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
  2. Remove the bolt (A) from the rocker arm oil control valve, and attach the special tools as shown, then attach the bolt that was removed to the oil pressure gauge adapter (B).

Engine Control System & Engine Mechanical - Testing & Troubleshooting

  1. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 rpm without load (CVT in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on.
  2. Check the VTEC oil pressure at the engine speed of 1, 000 to 2, 000 rpm.

NOTE: Keep the measuring time as short as possible (less than 1 minute).

Is the oil pressure below 49 kPa (0.5 kgf/cm2, 7 psi)

YES

VTEC system oil pressure is OK. Go to step 4.

NO

Failure in spool valve (stuck open). Replace the rocker arm oil control valve.

4. Rocker arm oil control solenoid operation check.

  1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
  2. Disconnect the following connector.

Rocker arm oil control solenoid 2P connector

  1. At the solenoid side, connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.

Engine Control System & Engine Mechanical - Testing & Troubleshooting

  1. Start the engine.
  2. Check the VTEC oil pressure at the engine speed of 3, 500 rpm.

NOTE: Keep the measuring time as short as possible (less than 1 minute).

Is the oil pressure above 390 kPa (4.0 kgf/cm2, 57 psi)

YES

The VTEC system oil pressure and the rocker arm oil control solenoid are OK.

NO

The oil pressure is lower than normal condition. Go to step 5.

5. Rocker arm oil control valve filter visual check.

  1. Remove the rocker arm oil control valve.
  2. Check the rocker arm oil control valve filter for dirt and clogging.

Is the rocker arm oil control valve filter dirty or clogged?

YES

Replace the engine oil, the engine oil filter, and the rocker arm oil control valve with new rocker arm oil control valve filter.

NO
