P1362 ACURA, HONDA: TOP DEAD CENTER 1 SENSOR NO SIGNAL
P1362 ISUZU: TDC SENSOR NO SIGNAL
The correct and smooth operation of the different internal components of an engine depends on a starting point, that is why the Top Dead Center (TDC) sensor is used, which controls this point.
In the past, engines marked the TDC on a harmonic balancer, so that the mechanic could assemble the engine and adjust the cylinder head valves. In contrast, in modern engines, although assembled using the same precision, it is the TDC sensor that is responsible for monitoring the firing sequence of all cylinders. This sensor determines the ignition timing and starting when the crankshaft angle is abnormal.
When the Top Dead Center 1 sensor malfunctions, a DTC code will be set that references the situation. Honda and Acura manufacturers use the code P1362 OBD2, to indicate that the sensor has a permanent loss of its signal.
The P1362 OBDII diagnostic code is set by one or more of the following:
To troubleshoot the P1362 OBD2 fault code, consider the following:
