Code 22 - V-Tec System Malfunction

Take it back to the shop.

check VTEC Solenoid, VTEC Pressure Switch, and all wires assoicated with both for a short.

any difference in driving? still engaging vtec?? might be the ecu

um, just checked the oil, down to the second line....filled it up to half way between the two lines...still check engine light...think it is centralized to the pressure switch, code 22...still dont know what is up with the 'rear bank' thing...
