Top 20 1996 Honda Odyssey Questions & Answers

Did you change out the thermostat? I would also change out top and bottom radiator hoses if they feel soft. They should have firm sides.

If you don't fix the underlying problem, the SRS light will just come back on right away. There is no way to bypass this. Fix it or live with the light. Erasing the code and not fixing won't help at all

If this where my car I would start with a fuel pump relay, very easy to replace and if I remember right it's inside drivers side at the fuse box you may need to remove the lower panel to get to in , I believe the are 4 10mm bolts to remove the lower cover , hope this helps.

Do you see a huge oil puddle under the car after it sits overnight (it would be huge!)? If no then the engine is burning the oil, you don't see smoke because the catalytic converter burns it up.

If the engine is misfiring you would have a blinking check engine light and a fault code stored for the cylinder that is misfir9ing is that the case? If it was me I would replace the spark plug wires, they are cheap and most likely the problem.

Sounds like it needs a new thermostat.

if digital, che your fuses, if analog then check cable connection behind cluster and hook near transmission sensor.

Filler pipe? Wiring? Maybe it is just stuck, being held in place with a paint/sealer/underseal bond...

Goes from shifter to bottom rear of trans.

the lights is just to indicate that you are on the correct drive

Your brake light switch has most likely failed. On newer cars when the brake light switch fails the lights will remain on, This is opposed to them remaining off all of the time and someone having non-functional brake lights. The switch will be located on the assembly that attaches or is near the brake pedal under the dash. The pedal should have a plate or something similar that will make contact with the switch when it is depressed, and lose contact when it is not, or vice-versa. I would start there and if it continues after replacing the switch troubleshoot further. In the meantime maybe disconnect one of your battery terminals so your battery doesn't go dead if the van is sitting overnight or for more than a few hours. The size of the nut on the terminal should be a metric 10. Hope this helps

Sounds like your piston rings might be going south.

Check to see if there is a vacuum leak. Make sure the mounting bolts and nuts at the throttle body and intake manifold are tight. Did you replace the PCV valve?

a honda Suzuki.?????

Hate to say it, but, it's probably the transmission. Common issue with your year model Honda. After replacing, adding an aftermarket transmission cooler tends to prolong/offset the problem.

vss dead (veh, speed sensor)A/T 700 codes are transmission errors. so is p17xxx706 is trans mission range switch open circuited (bad switch or wires)the scan codes never tell you what part is bad or what to replace.it tells you ONLY what tests fail. called Monitors.a Service tech, does this magic,. with tools and meters and gauges and special tests.you can look up codes here.http://engine-codes.com/you can go to alldata.com (or get a real honda fsm book)in the book it covers each code and now to test it and find the truth. for example they will show you how to find P0501.by looking at the VSS signal if good, the wires are bad.if the signal is bad, the sender is bad. using a scope or meter.good luck to you.

sounds like it needs to be shimmed
