The battery problem is easy to fix, the mistake happens when the battery cables are removed in the usual way, unlike many vehicles Honda have circuitry in the negative battery cable which trips the measurement of voltage to the regulator, this is how it works, when the car is new the alternator feeds full power to the battery, as the battery ages over the years that circuitry feeds higher voltage to the battery to compensate, when the battery is replaced for a new one the circuitry needs to be reset or the battery will be over charged and fail, the other important thing to note is, any time the battery cables are unhooked you first need to feed them 12 volts from another battery before removing the cables, otherwise various computers in the system will malfunction, if you have read this you have just learned something that is not known or taught to the mechanics who will charge you without even knowing what the problem is, your welcome.
How do you feed the cables 12 v from a deprecate battery
*seperate
Positive to positive, negative to negative, careful not to let the connections touch anything metal. after they're hooked up your safe to remove one or both cables and the system remains charged. @@maxclemons2565
I have a 10x aa battery holder wired to alligator clips. I use rechargeable batteries so voltage is just right.
Man this sounds a little complicated why is it this way
Rotor warping was serious problem for me living in hilly Western Pennsylvania. I always used aftermarket rotors and brakes. Last time I changed them I paid the price for genuine Honda rotors and brakes. They have been great for the past two years! It was worth the money.
I have a 2011 Honda Odyssey, owned since new, and havent experienced these problems.
i have a used 2011 too. I absolutely love it. I have a family of 5 so this van gives us plenty of room
My 15 odyssey has over 350,000 km. Transmission has a slight vibration and was told it does that in eco mode. Still drives very smoothly. Rotors definitely an issue.
Winter cold starts if i drive from a cold start Transmission jerks then fades when warmed up. So i drive very slowly if i have to drive off immediately but will warm it up first before driving when i can.
Everything else its a work horse and i love this minivan.
Stay on top of maintenance and you will have little issues to none.
slight vibration thats torque converter problem.
Definitely better than the following model that came out 2018
Our 15 odyssey has had a leaking spool valve, destroying our alternator I think in 2022. The dealership rep said it happened to his parent’s odyssey too! and now the electrical is spasming again and it won’t start- some sort of key recognition error . Also in the past, the doors sometimes wouldn’t close when it’s below freezing. I’ll not buy a Honda ever again.
Change transmission fluid and add vcm muzzler and eco shudder will be gone
Rotor warping is real. I have experienced it myself. Honda warranty covered the first but I had to replace the rotors the second time. If you ask me, I am still one happy customer.
I read that engine braking with the paddles takes care of that problem avoiding over use of the brakes
Seems to me, this vehicle is good for a competent self maintainer.
Mine has over 225k miles. Just did the timing belt and water pump.
Alternator died over a year ago. Suspect the spool valve leak issue. Just replaced the gasket. Hopefully it's fixed for now.
New shocks and struts.
Rotors have been troublesome, but i just put on some crossdrilled and slotted rotors. We'll see how they hold up.
Working on it isn't bad. Posts are reasonably priced and easy to find.
Replace rotors with performance rotors
You can eliminate the piston ring issue by shutting down the VCM. Replace the coil pack and plug and use fuel cleaner.
How did you shut down the vcm?

that's too bad i was looking at a 2016 Honda Odyssey Touring i hope they fix it before i buy it. the 2016 Honda Odyssey is my dream car :(
Thank you for the information. Just what I needed!
Don’t forget water getting inside the van and soaking the floor mats and damaging the electronics
Lovd the odyssey!
What was the cause of the transmission problem
you are the best.
I have a 2014 White Odyssey bought it new and the paint peeled across the gate just the same in this video.
I wish I had seen this video before I purchased the 2011 model
What’s wrong with that year???
Wish I knew this before I got a 2016(used). Has been a money pit. I'm way upside down.
What kind of problems are you having? I’m in the market for a 2016 Touring Elite ..
Doing a 3 liter flush 4 times does help if the transmission feels like its slipping ,drain transmission fluid as much as comes out plug the drain and top up with the same amount of transmission fluid as taken out then drive the vehicle through all gears maybe a 5 min drive then repeat drain and fill process 3 more times ,with each fill we found our van ran better and better and the fuel efficiency went back to normal. Definitely recommend simple to do at home yourself .biggest thing is to make a funnel long enough to reach to fill it back up easily remided by getting a length of hose that fits over your funnel spout and into the dip stick found near the front right hand side of the engine when standing in front of the vehicle.
I hear that helps if your trans is jittering on certain years . what year is yours?
Pretty sure its a 4 lt flush 3x. Have done this about 7x in 2 odysseys.
Now I know it’s not my alternator. Thank you
spool valve leaking which damage the alternator
I recently had a battery issue. Thankfully my roommate was able to jumpstart my car but the battery itself was not old nor did I notice any warning lights days prior. I'm hoping that a simple battery fix would solve this issue. Simple, albeit expensive
Thank you for good information.
Just purchased a 2012 with 100k miles
-Power Doors suck
-cats went out (pain in the but to replace and it had 3)
-3 spark plugs are difficult to swap. Honda placing the engine sideways doesn’t help.
Im on 2014 and its garbage. engine mounts are shot for the second time. Doors are failing. Im on my third timing belt and this last one snapped 2 miles max from my house and straight killed my engine. The one prior thank god it gave me another year and about 20k miles before it failed. The one prior was normal 100k timjng belt change.....
There is no transmission technology in Honda....
Their manual transmissions are generally good, but many of their automatic transmissions made in the last 20+ years don't hold up well, especially their V6 transmissions. But to be fair, if everyone drove and maintained their cars like they should, there would definitely be way less problems across the board.
@@averyalexander2303 Two different transmission shops (owned Dodge trucks) told me the same thing years ago. The gear selections on automatic transmissions are there for a reason. Depending on road conditions, speed and load, manually dropping into a lower gear can greatly reduce heat build up. Constantly shifting up and down with an unlocked torque converter is the issue. This takes EFFORT though.
Honda in general has lousy paint.
yeah, I always notice the crazing in their clear coat in older models. My friends 2011 Odyssey already has it.
