Advanced Diagnostics - DTC P2659: Rocker Arm Oil Control Solenoid A (Bank 2) Circuit High Voltage






General Description
The variable cylinder management (VCM) system switches the valve timing by opening and closing the oil groove to the cam switching mechanism. The oil groove is opened and closed by the rocker arm oil control solenoid, and the powertrain control module (PCM) controls the VCM system via the rocker arm oil control solenoid. The PCM outputs the signal and monitors the PCM output terminal voltage level. When an abnormal condition continues for a set time, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
