I have a 2004 Honda Accord 2.4L EX. I started getting a P1009 code which Actron tells me is the VTEC circuit. There is a Honda TSB #205 that addresses this problem. Can someone forward me what this TSB says?
Thanks!

That's not a complete Honda TSB number. I checked and didn't see any listed for your Accord with that code.

P1009 has to do with the VTC sensor. (Which is on the motor next to the power steering pump. To get to it, you need remove the power steering pump.) It says to clean the VTC sensor, drain your oil and clear the code. Ironically, I noticed my oil was not topped off, so I topped it off. I also go some SeaFoam and put it in there. I drove the thing around at lunch, drove home and then drove it from Austin to San Antonio and back and did not get the error again. Strange. I am glad it was something minor like that. I have my other Honda (A CRV) getting the A/C fixed and didnt need 2 cars in the shop.

I had a feeling it was going be that the car was low on oil. I would be surprised if the screen was dirty unless you have a lot of miles or you are lazy about oil changes.
