Your engine ecm requires an update.

Also check and replace vtec sensor.

The vtec sensor controls the variable cylinder management.

As for the temp sensor code, its the secondary temp sensor located on lower side of radiator.

Fix first problem, which is the bank2 vcm stuck issue. Check vtech sensor.

When you are done check present engine ecm software version and post here.
