Default Code 46 System too lean or too rich (slave)

Hello everyone,
my computer me showed code 46, which means System too lean or too rich (slave). I assume I have problems with fuel system. I found the description of similar code 45, but nowhere I can find 46.
Where should I go first? Checking fuel pump? Do valve clearence? What does it mean ( slave ) ?
I'll be grateful if anyone help me.

Thanks
Tom

being that its a fueling code, it has nothing to do with valve clearance. try cleaning out your fuel lines & injectors using a fuel system cleaner like SEAFOAM. you can also change your fuel filters too. Was there any other specific reading? ex: system to lean/rich bank 1? if it had shown that in a reading, that means your 02 sensor is no good.

There is no such thing as a code 46. You need to retrieve the actual code.

I'm using Russian programme HOBD. Below you find pic, where is shown this specific report.

What is more, fuel filter and oxygen sensor are brand new. Three months ago I made swap into H22a jdm. I'm not quite sure, but maybe there is a problem with fuel octans. Japans have different than Europeans ( 95 o 98 )
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Programme showed 46. Code 45 has the same description as the 46, but with small difference like the word Slave. I couldn't find what does it mean

If you do a search for "honda code 46" and you find nothing anywhere on the internet that pertains to it what do you think that means for code 46 ?

Use the paperclip method to retrieve the code.

Also, it helps people on here to know exactly which kind of car you have.
