1. Disconnect the rocker arm oil control solenoid (VTEC solenoid valve) connector and the rocker arm oil pressure switch (VTEC oil pressure switch) connector.
2. Remove the rocker arm oil control solenoid (VTEC solenoid valve) assembly from the cylinder head assembly.




3. Measure resistance between rocker arm oil control solenoid (VTEC solenoid valve) 2P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2.




4. If the resistance is within specification, check the rocker arm oil control solenoid (VTEC solenoid valve) filter (A) for clogging. If it is clogged, replace the rocker arm oil control solenoid (VTEC solenoid valve) filter, the engine oil filter, and the engine oil.
