Possible causes

– Cylinder Position Sensor harness is open or shorted
– Cylinder Position Sensor circuit poor electrical connection
– Faulty Cylinder Position Sensor

Tech notes

The Cylinder Position (CYP) Sensor, Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) and Top Dead Center (TDC) Sensor are all built into the distributor.

When is the code detected?

If no cylinder position (CYP) sensor pulsing signals are detected, a malfunction is detected and a the P1382 code is stored.

Symptoms

– Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)

P1382 ACURA Description

The cylinder position (CYP) sensor consists of a rotor and a pick-up coil that detects rotor position. When the rotor turns after starting the engine, the changes of magnetic flux in the pick-up coil are converted into pulsing signals to the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM). The CYP sensor detects the position of the No.1 cylinder for sequential fuel injection.
