Well I had my CEL for #22 which is Vtec pressure so I went ahead and changed the VALVE TIMING OILPRESSURE SWITCH. I unplugged the batt. before I did this like i always do when doing anything to the motor.

Well after I changed it and turned on the car the CEL came on, so I was like okay fine I'll read the code again. But the thing is it isn't throwing a code, It just stays on.

Whats up? Can I get some info on this problem.

Thanks!

Did you leave the jumper wire in the service connector? Otherwise, check for a short in the service connector circuit. Start by inspecting the connector and the BACKUP fuse slot for damage. Another possibility is a bad ECU, though check the circuit first.

Okay thanks now i got it, its throwing the code now.

its throwing #22 and #6. I thought changing the oil pressure switch would fix #22, and well #6 I don't know why that one is throwing now.

Former User

Code 6 is for the coolant temperature sensor circuit.

so I just buy a sensor for #6, but how can i fix #22? what do i need to do now i thought buying the oil pressure switch would fix the problem but i guess not.

What year/emgine Civic?

Keep in mind that the coolant sensor may be fine and instead the wiring is bad. You should do some troubleshooting before purchasing the sensor, which is the 2-wire one beneath the distributor.

1995 gsr motor, Yeah i pulled the connector for the coolant sensor to connector to reach the 1-wire temp wire becuase it wasnt connected correctly.

I connected it back on, but I guess its still throwing the code.

I'll check the wiring again, any idea on code 22?

Have you measured the oil pressure, checked the switch wiring, and the VTEC solenoid valve?
