P2648 ROCKER ARM OIL CONTROL SOLENOID
CIRCUIT LOW VOLTAGE
1. Problem verification:
ο‘
ο‘
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Clear the DTC with the HDS See HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT THE FUEL AND
EMISSIONS SYSTEMS or HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT THE A/T SYSTEM .
ο‘
3. Do the VTEC TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
Is the result OK?
YES : Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at
the rocker arm oil pressure switch, the rocker arm oil control solenoid, and the PCM.
NO : The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.
2. Rocker arm oil control solenoid internal resistance check:
ο‘
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
2. Disconnect the following connector.
ο‘
Rocker arm oil control solenoid 2P connector
ο‘
3. At the rocker arm oil control solenoid side, measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition IG LOCK (0)
Rocker arm oil control solenoid 2P connector: disconnected
Test circuit VT SOL, PG1
Test point 1 Rocker arm oil control solenoid 2P connector No. 1 (rocker arm oil control solenoid
side)
Test point 2 Rocker arm oil control solenoid 2P connector No. 2 (rocker arm oil control solenoid
side)

Is there 14-30 ohms at room temperature?
YES : Go to step 3.
NO : REPLACE THE ROCKER ARM OIL CONTROL VALVE , then do the repair verification .
3. Shorted wire check (VT SOL line):
ο‘
ο‘
1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
2. Disconnect the following connector.
PCM connector B (49P)
ο‘
3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition IG LOCK (0)
Rocker arm oil control solenoid 2P connector: disconnected
PCM connector B (49P): disconnected
Test circuit VT SOL
Test point 1 PCM connector B (49P) No. 33 (GRN)
Test point 2 Body ground

Is there continuity?
YES : Repair a short in the VT SOL wire between the rocker arm oil control solenoid and the PCM
(B33), then do the repair verification .
NO : The VT SOL wire is OK. Update the PCM See PCM UPDATE or PCM REMOVAL AND
INSTALLATION if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM See PCM
UPDATE or PCM REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION , then do the repair verification .
REPAIR VERIFICATION
ο‘
ο‘
ο‘
1. Reconnect all connectors.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
3. Reset the PCM with the HDS See HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT THE FUEL AND EMISSIONS
SYSTEMS or HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT THE A/T SYSTEM .
ο‘
ο‘
ο‘
4. DO THE PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE .
5. Do the VTEC TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
6. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

CIRCUIT LOW VOLTAGE
Is DTC P2648 indicated?
YES : Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the rocker arm oil pressure switch, the rocker arm oil
control solenoid, and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM See PCM
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION or PCM UPDATE , then recheck. If the PCM was substituted, go to
step 1.
NO : Troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM See PCM UPDATE
or PCM REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION . If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs are indicated, go to
the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
