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.
Monitor Execution, Sequence, Duration, DTC Type, OBD Status
Enable Conditions
Malfunction Threshold
The return signal is ON (high) for at least 1.0 second when the PCM outputs the OFF (low) signal to the rocker arm oil control solenoid A (bank 2).
Driving Pattern
Start the engine, and let it idle for at least 10 seconds.
Diagnosis Details
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the PCM memory.
Conditions for clearing the DTC
The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
