What it means

This is a Honda- and Acura-specific code; the same number can mean something different on other makes. The engine computer received no signal from the cylinder position (CYP) sensor inside the distributor. The engine may run poorly or start hard, and in some cases it will not start.

Models covered: Honda and Acura models with distributor-mounted TDC/CKP/CYP sensors, mainly 1990s to early 2000s.

Symptoms4

Check engine light on.
Hard or long cranking.
Rough running and weak performance.
No start in some cases.

Possible causes5

Failed CYP sensor inside the distributor.
Unplugged connector or open signal wire.
Sensors damaged by oil leaking into the distributor.
Distributor not turning because of a broken timing belt (usually seen with P1362).
Engine computer fault (rare).

How to diagnose4

Check whether P1362 is also stored; if both are, confirm the distributor turns and check the timing belt first.
Check the distributor connector and signal wire for continuity.
Measure sensor signal or resistance against the manufacturer specification.
Check inside the distributor for oil.

How to fix5

Reconnect the connector or repair the wire.
Replace the distributor seal and clean it.
Replace the sensor or the whole distributor.
Replace the timing belt if broken.
Set ignition timing, clear the code and confirm normal starting.

In Saudi riyals; the highlighted part is the expected range for this fault.

The cost is low for a wiring repair, higher for a distributor, and can exceed the range if a broken timing belt caused internal damage.

Prices are rough estimates for common cars at independent workshops and vary with the car and the source of the part.

Frequently asked questions

Can the car run with P1382?

In some cases it runs with weaker performance, but it may not start or may stall, so repair it before long trips.

What does P1382 with P1362 mean?

Losing both CYP and TDC signals suggests the distributor is not turning or the shared connector is unplugged, so check the timing belt and connector first.
