Just threw this code today, has to do with Manf Ctrl air/fuel measurement? Could someone help identify the problem?

 

Here's what I found, now what could be the cause or what needs to be replaced! P10XX Fuel and Air Metering and Auxiliary Emission Controls Hmmm maybe an oil change? detecting that that there isn't enough oil to engage veetac lol Hmm I don't think I was in Veeeetac when this came on.

 

if your oil was low i believe the oil light on your dash would come on... i've never seen that code so i have no idea how to fix it specifically. hope you find your solution.

 

If your oil is low this can easily be checked using the oil dipstick. Also if your oil is a bit low your engine may sound and feel rougher than usual.

 

Yeah I'm at 5% before my oil change so I dont understand why this car burns so much freaking oil.

 

IDOSEO:


What year is your TSX and how much mileage does it have?

 

It's an 06 manual with about 55k on it.

 

IDOSEO:

I am going to try to address your oil burning issues but I need to know if you bought car new or used. If you bought car used, how many miles did the car have on odometer?

 

bought it one year ago with 19500 on the odo bought it with a 100k 10 year warranty through a trustworthy Nissan dealership. I dont know if this has to do with anything, but it had some kind of permanent marking on the engine cover. If you were looking at the engine it'd be on the upper left and had (i think) a 5 digit code, dunno if they replaced the engine or what happened, I went over to the dealership and had a history report of everything done to the car (it was right across the street) and nothing showed up besides oil changes. So I'm kind of puzzled. PM me lets not get off topic with this thread.

 

Is there a follow up to the code? My wife's car popped this 2 days ago and I can find nothing.

 

OK, CEL code P1009 is "VTC Advance Malfunction"

Troubleshooting...since you don't have the HDS to reset or check with, the following are the checks in Honda's list:

Remove power steering pump and auto tensioner, remove VTC strainer and check for clogging.

Test VTC oil control solenoid valve.

Inspect VTC actuator.

Check VTC system oil passages.

Say five Hail Marys and start again...

I can post the steps...but you'll need to be pretty comfortable working under the hood. If an oil top-up doesn't do it, you'll probably want a pro to check it out.

As for oil, TSX's burn (on average) 1/2 to 1 quart per 5000 miles.

 

SOunds crazy but i had this issue, i poured a can of SEAfoam right into the oil drove it for 3 days an changed my oil, Problem solved!!! =)
