P2654 Rocker Arm Oil Control Solenoid B (Bank 1) Circuit High Voltage      

DTC (PGM-FI)

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    - 3. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 rpm without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

    Is DTC P2654 indicated?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at rocker arm oil control solenoid B (Bank 1) and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.

  2. Rocker arm oil control solenoid B (Bank 1) internal resistance check

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    Rocker arm oil control solenoid B (Bank 1) 2P connector - Refer to: Front Rocker Arm Oil Control Valve Removal and Installation, or Rear Rocker Arm Oil Control Valve Removal and Installation

    - 3. At the rocker arm oil control solenoid side, measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

    Is there 10-20 Ω at room temperature?

    YES 

    Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Replace the rear rocker arm oil control valve (rocker arm oil control solenoid B (Bank 1)) - Refer to: Front Rocker Arm Oil Control Valve Removal and Installation, or Rear Rocker Arm Oil Control Valve Removal and Installation .

  3. Open wire check (CSS PG/PG line)

    -1. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Rocker arm oil control solenoid B (Bank 1) 2P connector: disconnected
    Test circuit CSS PG
    Test point 1 Rocker arm oil control solenoid B (Bank 1) 2P connector No. 1 (BLK)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The CSS PG/PG wire is OK. Go to step 4.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the CSS PG/PG wire between rocker arm oil control solenoid B (Bank 1) and G101.

  4. Open wire check (CSS line)

    -1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector C (51P) - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems, or How to Troubleshoot the A/T System (2014 2015), or How to Troubleshoot the Brake Booster Pressure Monitoring System (2016 2017 2018 2019 2020), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems(With Auto Idle Stop System) (2016)

    - 3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Rocker arm oil control solenoid B (Bank 1) 2P connector: disconnected
      PCM connector C (51P): disconnected
    Test circuit CSS
    Test point 1 Rocker arm oil control solenoid B (Bank 1) 2P connector No. 2 (GRN)
    Test point 2 PCM connector C (51P) No. 14 (GRN)

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The CSS wire is OK. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM - Refer to: PCM Removal and Installation (2016), or PCM Removal and Installation (2014 2015) .

    NO 

    Repair an open in the CSS wire between rocker arm oil control solenoid B (Bank 1) and the PCM (C14).
