Hi all, this is a great forum!
We love our CT, and its about the 6th honda we have owned.
Unfortunately my 2011 CT suddenly lost power on the way home and the check engine light came on. I have read other threads that discussed a firmware fix.
But I was told by the dealer that they received a code that indicated a rocker control valve failure. Apparently the engine was locked in 3 cyl mode?
It got me wondering how the system works. I would have thought that if a solenoid failed you would most likely get locked in 6 cyl mode? It seems that the solenoid would want to be on when you went to 3 cyl, not off?
Is there a honda tech out there that can explain how this system works? Do I have it backwards or is it plausible that the locking pin is stuck?
BTW, they are replacing the valve today, but it did take 2 days to get the part.
Thanks much!!!!
