You don`t say who gave you the code.if you gave them this code not wanting them to check for coeds then you started this problem by not allowing them to check for a code as they would do a more indepth code check then diagnois the problem better.in this case because they did all the work then they would be more inclined to give you a break and correct the problem compared to someone that gives them a code and doesn`t want anythng else done but the code problem putting the owness on the customers request.this is unfortunatly what happens alot because the customer won`t pay to have a job done correctly thinking they will save more money doing it this way.

2003 Honda Accord engine code p2646 engine will not rotate 360 but stops.when turned in reverse by hand starter will turn then get stuck and will not turn forward. What is possible causes? Locked?

code p 2646 refers to rocker arm actuator A bank 1---performance problem or actuator stuck off=== causes wiring--- rocker arm actuator
discuss the problem with a service dealer shop or an accredited service shop that has experience on your make of vehicle
with rocker arm problems , to stop rotation it may be bottoming out on a valve spring and not letting the cam shaft turn .
talk with a shop for a proper diagnosis and quote

What does it mean when the vsa indicator and the engine emblem appears at the same time with code p2647?

I am not sure why they would both come on at the same time but the code P2647 means - Rocker Arm Oil Pressure Switch (VTEC Oil Pressure Switch) Circuit High Voltage.

So first thing first in diagnosing this code is to check the oil level.
Have the engine run for a bit and get warm to build up proper oil pressure. Then turn engine off and let the vehicle sit for a minute or two. Have the vehicle on level ground and check the oil level and condition.
If the level is low then top up till it is at the full line. When the engine oil level is low it may not have enough oil pressure to control and activate the VTEC system thus causing this code.
If the oil is super dark and black then you may be due for an oil change. (should be done around every 5000km.)

Have a 2004 CRV hesitates or jumps on excelleration code 2647 is what it reads. I have already changed the oil pressure switch but it is still doing the same thing. Any help would be appreciated.

P2647 VTEC oil pressure switch circuit high. The letter P stands for power train.When a code P2647 comes in the shop VTEC oil pressure switch usually fixes the problem. In front of the vehicle on the right hand side there is a VTEC solenoid valve one one the intake.Right next to it is the VTEC oil pressure switch . Both have grey connections. If you complain about rough idle then yes service solenoid (they do plug up from low end oil or lack of oil maintance).The code is circuit.that means that battery voltage has to be present. When the code P2647 appears VTC is disabled and valve timing is fixed at a fully ****** position.This is where you say you feel like its running out of gas is from.Switch is you just replaced it, a electrical diag has to be performed.From switch to PCM

Check engine light on on 2005 honda accord coupe. 4cylinder. code is p2647 said trouble shooting do all repairs on vehicles but do not know that code.

p2647 is rocker arm actuator A- bank 1 stuck on--- to fix it should be the VTEC oil pressure switch. That switch will be on the cylinder head. Towards the windshield and passenger's side (I think).

Go to www . hondapartsdeals . com {remove the spaces when typing}

Go to parts, enter your car's info. System: Engine Component Vtec Oil control valve. That diagram should help a lot.

Good Luck.

I have a Honda 2004 CRV - the repair ( OBD II) code is P2647 - what does that mean?

P2647 VTEC Oil Pressure Switch Circuit High Voltage - With Automatic Transmission Basicallly the sensor has gone bad or an oil passage has become blocked.

**. Locate the Variable Timing Electronic Control (VTEC) pressure switch on the end of the cylinder head. Honda has had problems with the VTEC oil pressure switch, there is an updated part number for the vehicle (37250-PNE-G01). On this vehicle the VTEC oil pressure switch can fail at any RPM.
2. The VTEC oil switch is normally closed, and grounds the reference voltage from the Engine Control Module (ECM) on the Blue/Black (BLU/BLK) wire. If the code sets at idle - 2500 RPM - and the Brown/Yellow wire has a good ground, then suspect a faulty VTEC oil pressure switch.
3. At approximately 2500-4000 RPM and when driving the vehicle, the VTEC system should turn on. To turn on the system, the ECM energizes the VTEC Solenoid valve and it allows oil pressure into the intake valve rocker arms, the oil pressure opens the VTEC oil pressure switch so the Engine Control Module (ECM) can verify that the VTEC did turn on correctly.
4. The code will set at idle to 2500 RPM if the reference voltage is not grounded. The code will set above 2500-4000 RPM if the VTEC oil switch does not open.
5. If the code sets at 2500-4000 RPM or higher, the problem can be a low oil level or pressure, or a malfunction in the VTEC assembly.
Potential Causes: Low Engine Oil
Plugged Oil Passage
Insufficient Oil Pressure
Plugged Oil Screen
Insufficient Oil Volume
Malfunctioning VTEC Oil Pressure Switch
Defective VTEC Solenoid
