DTC P2652
DTC P2652: Rocker Arm Oil Pressure Switch B (Bank 1) Stuck on
General Description
| Mode | PCM sends command to the rocker arm oil control solenoid | Rocker arm oil pressure switch (detected oil pressure) |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solenoid A (Bank 1) | Solenoid B (Bank 1) | Solenoid A (Bank 2) | Switch A (Bank 1) | Switch B (Bank 1) | Switch A (Bank 2) | |
| 6 Cylinder Mode (Low VTEC Range) |
OFF | OFF | OFF | ON (low) | OFF (low) | ON (low) |
| 6 Cylinder Mode (High VTEC Range) |
ON | OFF | ON | OFF (high) | OFF (low) | OFF (high) |
| 3 Cylinder Mode (3 Cylinders are paused) |
OFF | ON | OFF | ON (low) | ON (high) | ON (low) |
The variable cylinder management (VCM) system activates the rocker arm oil control solenoid B (bank 1) with a command from the powertrain control module (PCM), and it charges/discharges the hydraulic circuit of the cylinder pause VTEC system mechanism that pauses the intake and exhaust valves on the rear banks. The PCM monitors oil pressure in the hydraulic circuit of the VTEC mechanism using the rocker arm oil pressure switch B (bank 1) downstream of the rocker arm oil control solenoid B (bank 1). If there is a difference between the oil pressure condition in the hydraulic circuit determined by the PCM command and the oil pressure condition determined by the status of the rocker arm oil pressure switch B (bank 1), the system is considered faulty, and a DTC is stored.

*: When starting the engine at an engine coolant temperature [ECT SENSOR 1] is 68 deg.F (20 deg.C)
**: When starting the engine at an engine coolant temperature [ECT SENSOR 1] is 176 deg.F (80 deg.C)
***: When the engine coolant temperature [ECT SENSOR 1] is 172 deg.F (78 deg.C)
****: When the engine coolant temperature [ECT SENSOR 1] is 221 deg.F (105 deg.C)
Malfunction Threshold
When the rocker arm oil control solenoid B (bank 1) is OFF, the rocker arm oil pressure switch B (bank 1) remains ON.

|---|---|---|---|
| ON | OFF | ||
| Rocker Arm Oil Control Solenoid B (Bank 1) Command | ON | Normal | Failure (P2651) |
| OFF | Failure (P2652) | Normal | |
Possible Cause
NOTE: The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
- Rocker arm oil control solenoid B (bank 1) stuck
- Rocker arm oil pressure switch B (bank 1) failure
- Rocker arm oil pressure switch B (bank 1) VCMSW line short
- Rocker arm oil control valve failure
- Oil passage clogged
Confirmation Procedure
Operating Condition
- 1.
Start the engine. Hold the engine speed [ENGINE SPEED] at 3000 RPM without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on.
- 2.
Let the engine idle for at least 5 seconds.
- 3.
Drive the vehicle on a flat road in 4th gear at a steady speed of 12 mph (19 km/h) or more at a steady engine speed [ENGINE SPEED] between 1250 - 3300 RPM for at least 5 seconds.
- Drive the vehicle in this manner only if the traffic regulations and ambient conditions allow.
With the HDS
Select the VTEC+VCM TEST in the INSPECTION MENU, then select the CDVEB TEST with the HDS.
Diagnosis Details
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the PCM memory.
Conditions for clearing the DTC
The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
