Vtec code p1259

Have a P1259 code.
oil pressure switch always metering 12v to ground from connector wire to ground. (metering the switch shows open circuit)
Activating vtec by applying +12 volt to pin on solenoid connector does not change the voltage reading at pressure switch. is this indicating bad oil pressure switch or vtec solenoid

Oil just changed. Thought that might be the problem. oil was quite dirty.

Have a "CheckEngine" Light on.
if it is a bad pressure switch will it still show this light on or "Oil" light
