Error code 22 on Integra GSR!
I got an error on my ecu # 22:Front valve timing oil pressure switch (Integra). Does anyone know what has to be changed... i have no idea what to do here! If anybody give me some info it will be apreciated!

Yeah that's your vtec oil pressure switch. First, Just make sure the wire hasn't come off unplugged if you still get the code make sure you have enough oil in the engine, i've seen this code being thrown when the engine is 3/4 full of oil so make sure it has plenty of oild and then reset your ecu.

Strange!, checked the oil switch which is located under vtec lobe, no leaks or anything. Went to honda dealer, cost almost $70. Went to pepboys, dont have it.
Oils still ok, and i checked the black wire to make sure it has good ground. Check engine still on! If anyone might have a clue as to what might be the problem let me know. Im not sure if there is a problem w/the switch itself because there is no leak(the oil switch in the block tends to leak when they die!) so i dont want to waste $70!

Pressure switch isn't detecting any oil pressure in the vtec oil galley once the solenoid is grounded. Could be something as simple as too low an oil level. Grab your helm/haynes and trouble shoot it.

I think he already checked the oil lever. Do you think there is a remote chance that vtec oil galley can get clogged up with gunk causing the problem ?

I'm also throwing Code 22.
Checked the vtec pressure switch and it's good.
I then checked the voltage for the blue/black wire and grounded the other pointer of the multimeter and only getting 1.03volts. The Helms says it should be close to 12v. I immediately checked the voltage at the battery and getting 12+.
It says to "Inspect for an open or short to ground in the wire between the VTEC pressure switch and the ECM (ECU) C15. If the wire is ok, substitute a known-good ECM and recheck"
Any ideas? Could it possibly be a bad ECU (OBD1 P72 is what I am using)?
I can try my friends ECU (same Hybrid).
Thanks!
I'll check the oil level again, but I'm pretty sure it's good.
