Measure resistance between the terminal and bodyground.
Resistance: l4 - 30 O
lf the resistance is within specifications, remove theVTEC solenoid valve assembly from the cylinder
head, and check the VTEC solenoid valve filter for
cloggrng.
. lf there is clogging, replace the engine oil filterand the engine oil.
