1997 HONDA CIVIC ECM

(From page 6-52)
Test the VTEC Solenoid Valve:
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF
2. Disconnect the VTEC solenoid
valve 1P connector,
3. Attach the batterY Posrtrveterminal to the VTEC solenoid
valve terminal.4. Start the engine and check
the oil Pressure at engine
speed ol5,000 rPm
lrcoect the VTEC solenoid valve(see page S54)ls the pressure above 390 kPa(4.0 kgt/cm?, 57 Psi)?
Test the VTEC Pressure Switch:
With the battery Positive terminal
connected to the VTEC solenoid
valve, measure voltage between
the ECM connector terminal C10
and body ground.
ls there battery voltage above
5,000 rpm?
Test the VTEC Solenoid Valve
Wire:1. Turn the ignition switch OFF
2. Check for continuitv between
the VTEC solenoid valve 1P
con nector terminal and the
ECM connector terminal 812
Repair open in the wire between
the ECM lB12| and VTEC aolenoid
Test lhe VTEC Solenoid Valve
Wire:Check for continuity between the
VTEC solenoid valve'lP connector
terminal and body ground.
Repair short in the wiro b€'tween

How To Begin Troubleshooting
When the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL) has been reported on, or there is a driveability problem, use the appropr'-
ate orocedure below to diagnose and repair the problem'
A. When the MIL has come on:
,1. connect the Honda PGM Tester or an oBD ll scan tool to the 16P Data Link connector (DLC) located near the left
kick panel.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll)
3. Check the DTC and note it. Also check and note
the freeze trame data
Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart and
begin troubleshooting.
