Top 10 2005 Honda Pilot Questions & Answers

In my case the solution was a fuse on the passenger side inside fuse box. It is not listed as a fuse for the radio but it is none the less. If your cigarette lighter isn't working either its the fuse. On my 2004 it was fuse # 9 a 15A fuse.

VTM4 LIGHT ON after gear was changed, but car drives smoothly and CHECK NENGINE light does not come on. Have diagnosed and was told nothing wrong with transmission. Please help

Standard Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA ®) with Traction Control and Brake Assist Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) is an electronic stability control system that works in conjunction with the Pilot's drive-by-wire throttle and its 4-channel ABS systems to enhance controllability while the vehicle is accelerating, braking, cornering or when the driver makes a sudden maneuver. VSA functions by applying brake force to one or more wheels independently while also managing the throttle, ignition and fuel systems to help the vehicle maintain the driver's intended path of travel.

The VSA system constantly analyzes data from seven sensors that monitor wheel and vehicle speed, steering input, lateral G forces and yaw rate. It compares the driver's control inputs with the vehicle's actual response. Whenever the actual response falls outside of a predetermined acceptable range, VSA intervenes with a corrective action.


For instance, if VSA detects an oversteer condition, the system may apply braking force to the outside front and rear wheels to counteract the unintended yawing effect. In the event of understeer, VSA may apply braking to the inside rear wheel while reducing engine power to help return the car to its intended course. VSA also provides a limited-slip differential effect for the front wheels by applying braking force to a slipping wheel, thereby redirecting driving force to the wheel with more traction.

There is a button on the lower left part of the dashboard that says "VSA". Push it and the triangle will dissappear (this should only be turned off if you are using a spare tire that is smaller than the rest of the tires).

Good luck.

Heater Core Removal & Installation Front To Remove:

1. Make sure you have the anti-theft codes for the audio and the navigation system, and then write down the audio presets.
2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
3. From under the hood, disconnect the heater valve cable from the heater valve. Turn the heater valve arm to the fully opened position.
4. When the engine is cool, drain the engine coolant from the radiator.
5. Disconnect the inlet heater hose and the outlet heater hose from the heater core.
6. Remove the mounting nut from the heater unit. Take care not to damage or bend the fuel lines, the brake lines, and related parts.
7. Remove the dashboard.
8. Remove the evaporator.
9. Remove the mounting bolts and remove the heater unit. Front heater unit
   
   
10. Remove the self-tapping screws and the clamp.
11. Carefully pull out the heater core so you don't bend the inlet and outlet pipes.

Front heater core

To Install:

1. Using care, install the heater core to the heater unit and secure.
2. Using care, install the heater unit and tighten mounting nuts and bolts to 7 ft-lb (10 Nm).
3. Install the evaporator.
4. Install the dashboard.
5. Connect the inlet heater hose and the outlet heater hose to the heater core.
6. Connect the heater valve cable to the heater valve.
7. Refill the cooling system with engine coolant.
8. Adjust the heater valve cable.
9. Make sure that there is no coolant leakage.
10. Make sure that there is no air leakage.
11. Connect the negative battery cable.
12. Perform the power window control unit resetting procedure.
13. Enter the anti-theft codes for the audio and the navigation system, and then enter the audio presets.

Rear To Remove:
NOTE: The rear blower motor, the rear heater core, the blower screen, the rear blower resistor (heating/air conditioning system) and the rear power transistor (climate control system), the rear air mix control motor (climate control system) , the rear mode control motor and the rear expansion valve can be replaced without removing the rear heater-A/C unit.

1. Remove the self-tapping screws and the clamp, and then remove the bolts and the rear evaporator lines with the rear expansion valve. If necessary, remove the rear expansion valve. Use a second wrench to hold the other fitting on the valve so the rear evaporator lines won't twist. Leave the first fitting loosely connected so you can use it to hold the valve while you loosen the second fitting.
2. Remove the rear heater hoses.
3. If necessary, remove the rear blower motor, the rear heater core, the blower screen, the rear blower resistor (heating/air conditioning system), the rear power transistor (climate control system), the rear air mix control motor and the rear mode control motor.
4. Remove the self-tapping screws and the lower housing.
5. Remove the self-tapping screws, and carefully separate the left upper housing from the right upper housing. Remove the rear heater core.

Rear evaporator assembly

To Install:

1. Replace the rear heater core.
2. Attach the heater hoses.
3. Make sure no air is leaking from the left upper housing and the right upper housing fitting and from the upper housings and the lower housing fitting.
4. Before reassembly, make sure that the rear air mix control linkage and door move smoothly without binding.
5. Before reassembly, make sure that the rear mode control linkage and door move smoothly without binding.
6. Reassemble the housing.
7. After reassembly, make sure the rear air mix control motor runs smoothly.
8. After reassembly, make sure the rear mode control motor runs smoothly.
9. Refill the cooling system and make sure that there is no coolant leakage.

My 2007 Honda pilot did the same thing. I took the above advice regarding the oil condition (mine was obviously poor, although I change it every 3 mos) and had it changed immediately. The engine light, VSA light, and the triangle with ! all cleared and the vehicle began to run properly again. No problems since. Thank you to Shawn Bruns!!

To the front there is a reference image above.

EGR struck open.
compression low and 1 or more cylinders.
ISC parts sticking,
id CEL lamp out driving or idling
no, scan it.
if in canada, scan it 1 more time.

At the rear of the catalytic converter. I.e. Downstream it's the one closer to the rear or the car, not the one closer to the engine.
