DTC Advanced Diagnostics: P2654 (1.5L Engine)
DTC P2654: Rocker Arm Oil Control Solenoid Circuit High Voltage
General Description
The VTEC system activates the rocker arm oil control solenoid by a command from the powertrain control module (PCM), and it charges/discharges the hydraulic circuit of the VTEC mechanism that switches valve timing between low and high. If the return signal is ON (high) when the PCM outputs the OFF (low) signal to the rocker arm oil control solenoid, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

[ ]: HDS Parameter
Malfunction Threshold
The return signal is ON (high) for at least 2 seconds when the PCM outputs the OFF (low) signal to the rocker arm oil control solenoid.
Possible Cause
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 VTS2 line open
- Rocker arm oil control solenoid ground line open
- Rocker arm oil control solenoid failure
- PCM internal circuit failure
Diagnosis Details
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the PCM memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and a Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot are stored.
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, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot can be cleared with the scan tool clear command.
