01' Accord. Really need your help!
 

My "maintenance required" light came on so i had it checked. I was give the code '1259' 'security conductor'. So i called the dealership and the said it could either be the vtec cylinder or vtec oil something. I know nothing about cars and can't trust the dealership. Does anyone know what this might be and what can be done? thank you for reading.

P1259 is a VTEC system malfunction.

1. Top off the oil, low oil = low oil pressure = no VTEC
2. You can take the screen off the VTEC oil sending solenoid gizmo and clean it.

Thanks man! one more question, where is the screen located?

Depends on the year/engine/trim.

#9 is the VTEC spool valve on the 2001 4 cylinder engine

I have a 2001 4 cylinder so the diagram is perfect. Dude your awesome, thanks.

No problem!
