I got the code p1361 on my HONDA, PRELUDE, 2000. Its mean TDC intermittent connection.... On h22a4 like me... the TDC and CKP connect in 1 connector. I check the connector restistance.... perfect... i check for the resistance in the connector to ECM and my CKP is good with 2.0 but the TDC no resistance but the normal is 1 - 3.2... for twice... is it a poor connection wire , broken wire.... starting the connector to ecm?

Heres adiagram to check resistance of the sensor, it should be1200-1300 ohms, but take note the sensor could read good at this time this problem is intermitent and the sensor may be bad, check for continuty at the computer connector , if all wires are good then i would replace the crankshaft sensor/top dead sensor (CKP/TDC).next check conntinuty between sensor terminals and ground check all four prongs on sensor if theres continuity on any one replace sensor, next key off and sensor connected . remove the pcm 31 pin connector (C) here a diagram of it. at the pcm connector measure resistance between terminals C2 and C12 it should be 1200-3200 ohms, then check between C3 and C13, again 1200-3200ohms if the ohms are off then check wires that fail omh test.next test is with connector again test connector c2 (blue /white wire) to ground and C3 to ground if continuity exists then repair wire that fails between connector and sensor, if all tests are good then try a good pcm. i dont think its pcm, i think if its not a wire then replace sensor , but good luck and i hope this helps.i got the code p1361 - johnjohn2_18.gifjohnjohn2_19.gif

I have 97 Honda Accord 2.2 non VTech. Replaced timing belt, seals, water pump, crank sensors. Did not have code before I done work. Now getting p1361 and comes right back.

P1361 = Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor A (Top Dead Center (TDC) Sensor) Intermittent Interruption,or Top Dead Center (TDC) Sensor Intermittent Interruption.

Could be a wiring problem or dirty connectors.

Does anyone know97 Honda Odyssey with code P1361 Tdc?

P-Power Train
1-Manufacturer Specified Code (Honda)

1-Component or Sub-System Section

P1361 is: Intermittent Interruption In TDC 1 Sensor Circuit.
Check out the TDC sensor, connector 124 (grey and on the distributor) check power and grounds. It's missing a signal from the TDC sensor in the distributor and causing a misfire.

P01361

Diagnostic Test Code (DTC) P1361 s a "manufacturer-specific" DTC, and for a 2000 Honda Accord, it applies ONLY to the 3.0L V-6 engine (which would have been nice-to-know up front - especially when you are asking for help repairing your engine controls).
DTC P1361 is defined by Honda as "TDC1 Sensor Intermittent Interruption".

(Note: TDC = Top Dead Center. PID= Process IDentifier)
A diagnostic scan tool capable of watching the TDC sensor PIDs (and preferably, graphing them) is REQUIRED to: (A) determine if this is truly an intermittent condition or a "hard fault". (B) verify PID data while testing for intermittent connections in the wiring harness and connectors. (C) verify that the concern is actually fixed after any repairs are made.

CODE 1361 Intermittent Interruption In TDC 1 Sensor Circuit

First off check to see if the connection may be loose or not even connected. also check the wires. Probably you will end up needing a new sensor, but maybe not. it is the Top Dead Center sensor.

Hope help (remember rated this post).

My honda civic 98, had a check light engine ON P1361 and P1399

P1361 is an intermittent signal from the TDC sensor .. thats located under the top timing belt cover on the right side of the engine .. about half way down that cover is the connector for the TDC sensor .. check that connector and its wiring ...P1399 is an ignition problem .. and thats likely caused by the TDC sensor being intermittent .. you might be able to fix the connector if its loose or full of water but the sensor is hard to get to .. very tight place to work in but not impossible .. this is something that should be fixed soon .. no emergency but the timing may drift off if the problem persists ..

1998 Prelude VTEC P1361 code, what's the most likely failure.

Need a clear question and better info. However, based on the little that was posted...

Code P1361 is ignition coil circuit low. You'll have to do some electrical troubleshooting to locate the cause.

Low oil will also can also result in the oil pressure sending unit cutting power to fuel pump relay. This is done to prevent engine damage due to low oil.
