WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Acura TL and 2009 Acura TL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The rocker arm oil control solenoid is turned off by the ECM/PCM. Oil pressure from the rocker arm oil control valve does not enter the rocker shaft. The primary and secondary rocker arms are separated by a return spring and lifted by the low lift cam lobe.
