Car Forum / Honda Cars / July 2005Check engine light.. Code: P1362
Hi Everyone, I got a check engine light diagnosed & it came back as 'P1362: Multiple misfire or No Signal In TDC 1 Sensor Circuit'. I replaced my cap,rotor,wires & plugs ( they needed replacing anyways ) & am still getting the same code.. I did a little searching around & it appears that my next step would be replacement of the distributor. Does anyone have any suggestions ? If its a loss of signal in the sensor circuit could it be a loose wire and if so which one should I check ? Regards Andrew 98' Civic LX 127000km ags9898@hotmail.com > Hi Everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > sensor circuit could it be a loose wire and if so which one should I > check ? Was the light reset after the repair?  SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ > > Hi Everyone, > > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ > www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ Yes, I reset the light by pulling the backup fuse.. It came on again a little while later.. I have also noticed that my car is idling a little lower than normal ( approx 750--> 850rpm ). The mechanic I took it to suggested that I change the cap, rotor, wires, plugs which I did.. Any suggestions ?

Did you reset the base timing after? > Any suggestions ? A P1xxx code is a non-mandated "enhanced" code. It's Honda-specific and is not required by the EPA. It sounds like the TDC (Top Dead Center) or CYP (CYlinder Position) sensor is reporting out of range. See here: http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/misc/1998_Integra_error-P1362.pdf It's from the '98 Integra, but will hopefully be close enough to give you some clue what to check. Has the car ever been in a collision that damaged the engine compartment? Any corrosion in the connectors?

No I did not.. I am assuming that this procedure requires a timing light ?

Ok, to check TDC/CYP I put the Ohm meter probes between sensor terminal 7 (P1362) and ground ? I replace if its below .5 or above 1k ohm ? > It's from the '98 Integra, but will hopefully be close enough to give you > some clue what to check. > > Has the car ever been in a collision that damaged the engine compartment? > Any corrosion in the connectors? Good suggestions. I will check the connectors & clean if neccessary. As far as I am aware its never been in an accident.. > -- > TeGGeR® > > The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ > www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ >> >> Was the light reset after the repair? >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > No I did not..

That used to be behind the passenger kick panel. Don't know if they moved it in later models. Yor crank pulley has a group of three notches in its rim. The timing mark on the timing belt cover should be in the middle of those three marks with the timing light strobing on it. SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ UPDATE: My distributor is showing .460k Ohms between DTC ( pin 7 ) & gnd ( pin 3 ).. Looks like im just below the threashold of .5k ohms. Doh. My timing appears to be retarded a couple of degrees but I did not bridge the grey connector as I could not find it.. Once I will I will recheck. Looks like my timing is okay.. The alighnment marks appear okay.. I'm going to pick up a distributor tommorow.. Andrew > Looks like my timing is okay..

So haveing a bad TDC sensor will cause problems with idle.. >> Looks like my timing is okay.. The alighnment marks appear okay.. >> I'm going to pick up a distributor tommorow..
