If you use a scan tool on your vehicle and a P2647 code pops up, here&rsquo;s what may be happening:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Code P2647 and What Does It Mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P2647 represents &ldquo;&lsquo;A&rsquo; Rocker Arm Actuator System Stuck On.&rdquo; The code is often found on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/honda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Honda\">Honda<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/acura\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Acura\">Acura<\/a> vehicles equipped with Variable Valve Timing &amp; Lift Electronic Control (VTEC).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Engines with VTEC use a rocker arm actuator system to vary engine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/valve-lifter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"valve lift\">valve lift<\/a>. A typical system has two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/camshaft\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"camshaft\">camshaft<\/a> profiles: one for high <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/what-does-car-rpm-stand-for\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"RPM\">RPM<\/a> and one for low RPM. When the engine reaches a predetermined speed, the powertrain control module (PCM) operates a solenoid valve that allows oil pressure to activate a pin assembly that locks the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/rocker-arm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"rocker arms\">rocker arms<\/a> together, forcing them to follow the high RPM camshaft profile. The PCM monitors an oil pressure switch to verify that the change took place.&nbsp; The P2647 code may show up if the actual state of the oil pressure switch is not what the PCM expects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/automotive-rocker-arm-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"automotive rocker arm\" class=\"wp-image-45483\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/automotive-rocker-arm-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/automotive-rocker-arm-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/automotive-rocker-arm-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/automotive-rocker-arm-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/automotive-rocker-arm-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/automotive-rocker-arm.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Engines with VTEC use a rocker arm actuator system to vary engine valve lift.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can get more information that can help you understand codes like P2647 more fully in our technical discussion about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/p2646-code-a-rocker-arm-actuator-system-performancestuck-off-bank-1\/#Variable_Valve_Lift_in_VTEC_and_Other_Systems\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"VTEC\">VTEC<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Note:<\/strong> The definition of code P2647 may be different depending on the vehicle manufacturer.

Many professionals require extensive training and experience in automotive repair to efficiently address the issues that trigger these codes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, tech-savvy DIYers may feel confident enough to navigate through OBD code problems on their own. For most trouble codes, the first thing to do is inspect the issues that may be triggering the code. If you&rsquo;re able to find out what&rsquo;s causing the P2647 code, you can determine the next appropriate steps, with the help of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/why-you-should-always-consult-a-repair-manual\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"repair manual or online repair database\">repair manual or online repair database<\/a>.<br>Note that some vehicles may have specific repair procedures, depending on their make and model.
