Question Code P2646 on my 2006 Honda Civic si

I recently posted a thread https://www.civicforums.com/forums/3...ml#post4567644

After i read reply's i checked my oil added a couple quarts and took it for a drive. Runs fine, sounds fine, no loss of power, but still the Malfunction Indicator lamp on the dash. So i used a friends OBDll/EOBD Scanner and got DTC Code P2646 $0710 Generic
A Rocker Arm Actuator
System Performance or
Stuck off Bank 1

Any suggestions on the Next step?? Also should i try to reset the ECU?

Reset the ECM first. If the code comes back check for continuity in the oil pressure switch with the ignition off. No continuity= replace the oil pressure switch. Check for resistance between the VTEC solenoid and body ground. Resistance should be 14-30 Ohms. If it isn't replace the VTEC solenoid.

With the ignition OFF, pull the ECM fuse in the under-hood fusebox for at least 10 seconds.

There is NO Fuse labeled "ECM fuse" in the under-hood fusebox. Even in my manual there is NO "ECM" Period!
