Do Honda elements have VTEC?
Acceleration and Power. All Elements are powered by the same 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, which is the same i-VTEC four-cylinder engine found in Honda’s other small SUV, the CR-V. The optional automatic transmission is well-matched to the engine.
How to replace a VTEC spool valve assembly filter?
To create space remove the single 10mm bolt mounting the power steering high pressure line to the valve cover. 3. Remove the electrical connector to the VTEC oil pressure switch (aka valve timing oil pressure switch) and the 2nd connector to the spool valve assembly. 4.
How does the VTEC system work on a Honda Element?
While driving the vehicle between 2500 and 4000 RPMs, the VTEC system should engage. This is done by the PCM energizing the VTEC solenoid allowing engine oil pressure into the VTEC actuator, the oil pressure then opens the VTEC switch so the PCM can verify the system is working properly. 4.
Is there an issue with the VTEC oil pressure switch?
Honda has had issue with the VTEC oil pressure switch and has updated the part. The switch can fail at any RPM illuminating the MIL and setting a corresponding code. 1. Verify engine oil level and condition, remedy as necessary. 2. Normally closed, the VTEC oil pressure switch grounds the reference voltage from the PCM on the BLU/BLK wire.
What to do if you get a VTEC code?
1. Verify engine oil level and condition, remedy as necessary. 2. Normally closed, the VTEC oil pressure switch grounds the reference voltage from the PCM on the BLU/BLK wire. If you get the code between idle and 2500 RPMs, and there is a good ground on the BRN/YEL wire, then you may have a faulty VTEC oil pressure switch. 3.

What are the most common problems with VTEC?
The most common VTEC issues we see are, in order of frequency: very low engine oil levels that result in starvation under hard accelleration, faulty VTEC oil pressure switches, faulty VTEC oil control solenoids, sludged / clogged oil passages in the VTEC oil control circuit, wiring harness / connector terminal damage, bad PCM.
What is the code for the VTEC oil pressure switch?
According to the service manual code 2646 is for rocker arm switch (VTEC oil pressure switch) low voltage. I have the ussual problem of the Element bogging down at 4,000 rpm’s.
What is the code for a VTEC DTC?
The P2647 is a VTEC pressure switch high voltage DTC. It may be as simple as needing to replace the switch (P/N 37250-PNE-G01). The switch is the part indicated as #12.
