Default VTEC pressure valve ecu code

I just put together my ls/vtec set up. i put a new valve train in with stock cams and everytime i hit vtec in 3rd gear i get a "VTEC pressure valve" code. the code came up on my first vtec solenoid and i changed the solenoid and now the code is still popping up with the new vtec solenoid. i was wondering if this happen to anybody and what did they do to solve the problem.

A jdm solenoid does not have a vtec pressure switch.
Bypass the vtec pressure switch per the instructions on http://www.phearable.net/tech
