DTC P1381 & DTC P1382: CYP Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Honda Prelude. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Perform PCM reset procedure. See PCM RESET PROCEDURE/CLEARING DTCS in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - INTRODUCTION article. Start engine. If DTCs P1381 and/or P1382 are indicated, go to next step. If DTCs P1381 and/or P1382 are not indicated, problem is intermittent. System is okay at this time. Check for poor connections or loose wires at CYP sensor 4-pin connector and PCM. CYP sensor 4-pin connector is located at distributor housing. Also check poor connections or loose wires at C283 connector, located at right shock tower. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect CYP sensor connector. Measure resistance between CYP sensor connector terminals No. 2 (Yellow wire) and No. 4 (Black wire). See Figure . If resistance is 260-460 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is not 260-460 ohms, replace distributor ignition housing.
- Check for continuity between ground and CYP sensor connector terminals No. 2 (Yellow wire) and No. 4 (Black wire), individually. See Figure . If continuity does not exist, go to next step. If continuity exists, replace distributor housing.
- Ensure ignition is off. Reconnect CYP sensor 4-pin connector. Disconnect PCM 31-pin connector "C". See Figure . Measure resistance between PCM 31-pin harness connector "C" terminals No. 4 (Yellow wire) and No. 14 (Black wire). If resistance is 260-460 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is not 260-460 ohms, repair open in suspect wire(s) between CYP sensor and PCM. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
- Check for continuity between ground and PCM 31-pin harness connector "C" terminal No. 4 (Yellow wire). If continuity exists, repair short in wire between CYP sensor and PCM. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If continuity does not exist, substitute a known-good PCM and recheck. See SUBSTITUTING PCM under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - INTRODUCTION article. If symptom or problem goes away, replace original PCM.
