If the VTM-4 system on your 2006 Honda Pilot is not working, it is likely that there is a problem with the system or one of its components. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the VTM-4 switch: Make sure the VTM-4 switch is in the correct position and that it is functioning properly. If the switch is damaged or not working properly, it may prevent the VTM-4 system from engaging.
2. Check the VTM-4 fuse: The VTM-4 system is powered by a fuse. Check the fuse to make sure it is not blown and that it is securely seated in the fuse box.
3. Check the VTM-4 relay: The VTM-4 system uses a relay to control the power to the system. Check the relay to make sure it is not damaged and that it is functioning properly.
4. Check for other issues: There could be other issues with the VTM-4 system, such as a malfunctioning control module or a problem with the drivetrain. In this case, it is best to seek the help of a qualified mechanic who can diagnose and fix the problem.

I hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, don't hesitate to ask.

To resolve the issue, tighten the gas cap or replace it, and then disconnect the battery. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes and then reconnect it. If not solved, then there can be a variety of reasons why these lights illuminate i.e. the fuel injector may need to be replaced. We suggest you drive down to a repair shop and ask them to run diagnostics with a code reader.

Hi,

Bring your vehicle to a full and complete stop. The system will not properly engage if the vehicle is moving.

Shift the vehicle into first gear, second gear, or reverse before engaging the 4-wheel-drive system. The system is limited based on the speed of the vehicle, and these gears are within the speed range of the system's capabilities.

For Honda piliot, engage the VTM-4 system by pressing the VTM-4 Lock button on your Pilot's dashboard. The button will illuminate to confirm that the system is engaged.

I hope this helps.

If it says VTM-4 that is your VTM-4 indicator:

This indicator normally comes on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition switch to ON (II). If this indicator comes on at any other time, there is a problem in the 4WD system. Have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

The Variable Torque Management 4WD System (VTM-4) automatically transfers varying amounts of engine torque to the rear wheels under lower traction conditions.

You can try the following:

To Disengage the VTM-4 Lock, do one of the following:

1. Press the VTM-4 Lock button.

2. Move the shift lever to D or D .

3. Turn the ignition to LOCK (0).

The VTM-4 Lock will temporarily disengage when the vehicle speed exceeds 18 mph (30 km/h). It will automatically engage again as the speed slows below 18 mph (30 km/h). The button light will remain on.

Hope this helps you understand the light. If not, leave a comment and I will try to help you further.

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

did u use honda fluid and honda friction modifier if not diff will make funny noises worse when turning at a slower pace

Bring it to a dealer immediately. VTM-4 means the 4WD is off, possibly because of the engine line or vice versa.

My 2007 Honda Pilot has 2 indicators on...A/T Temp and VTM-4.....Any ideas?
