Engine Controls - DTC P1381 Set

SOURCE:
Honda Service News July 2004

TITLE:
DTC P1381 Set? Check the Ignition Coil Shield.

APPLIES TO:
1998-02 Accord L4 or 1996-00 Civic

SERVICE TIP:
Troubleshooting a DTC P1381 (CYP sensor intermittent interruption)? If you can't find anything wrong after following the procedure in the appropriate S/M, then remove the distributor cap, and make sure the coil shield is in place and it's correctly installed as shown. If the coil shield installation looks OK, then the ignition coil is the probably faulty and should be replaced.
