Also the car started to behave as if it had more power - higher rpms, and faster accelleration after de-pressing the brake. It was subtle yet noticeable. Sorry if I explained that wrong. The rpms were normal. I cleared the error and had no problem for the next days. After this time it happened again. Again 3 lights together. This time I haven't turned the engine off instead just put the car to Park and noticed the rpms are around , so unusually high. I don't know the exact value bbut rpms did not fluctuate. It was high but steady. Yet again after restarting the engine only CEL came in and I cleared the error for the next days.

All the symptoms I noticed matched what was honda code p1009 to happen with VVT system clogging. I'm still about 40 days away from being due and it looks like I'm gonna hit the 3 month limit this time instead of the 3k limit.

P is a common Honda made vehicle trouble code. This code indicates the VVT advance control is malfunctioning, leaving the engine timing stuck advanced. It works by using oil pressure to hydraulically move the camshaft. This allows the engine to have more power and efficiency across the RPM range. When P is present, the VTC actuator is not changing the camshaft timing anymore, which leaves the engine with a more aggressive cam profile at lower RPM. If it is really low, there may not be enough oil pressure for the VTC actuator to properly function. Even if the oil level is full, if the oil is super dirty, it can cause the VTC actuator or strainer to clog up and cease functioning properly.

So, it is likely that you are wondering what the problem is if your mechanic has pulled code P from your car. In the case of a Honda Accord, diagnostic code P means the variable valve timing control advance is malfunctioning. The error code you receive sounds pretty severe, so what should you do if you see it? Controlling the intake camshaft phase is done through the variable valve timing control system VTC. The valve timing can be optimized based on driving conditions using oil pressure to operate the VTC actuator. The diagnostic trouble code DTC is stored if there is an over-advanced camshaft phase compared with the directed value or if the camshaft phase is otherwise abnormal.

Once I arrived at my destination, I had the vehicle repaired and it turned out to be a clogged VTEC sieve, concurrent with the diagnosis that is going around on the EOC forums for that trouble code. I change my oil every 3k miles or every 3 months, whichever comes first. It was high but steady. Long-time lurker and infrequent poster; so infrequent that I forgot what my original alias was!! Review another car. It was not the VVT system. I would be surprised if the screen was dirty unless you have a lot of miles or you are lazy about oil changes. I noticed a significant difference when pouring th 5w20 in its viscosity. Time to take it apart. Own this car? I even tried to reset it using my Scangauge, but it didn't actually throw a trouble code like with Dheacoc11's issue. My Honda Accord does not start. Oil changes completed per maintenance schedule since we purchased the vehicle with 90, miles on it except for once this winter.

The diagnostic trouble code DTC P in Honda vehicles is an indication of an issue related to the timing control of the variable valve system.
