Sure you can. But they hide these everywhere. Most likely place is under the defrost grill on top of the dash. Call the dealer and tell them you work for some local shop, ask the parts guy where it is. Most of them will help. But it may have to be programmed.

Yes, and make sure you use genuine Honda automatic transmission fluid, not aftermarket. Get an 18mm drain plug gasket while toy are at the dealer. This would be a drain and fill only, it holds 3.0 or 3.5 quarts. Do not flush, Honda states this is not good, and they are correct. If it has never been changed, you might consider doing it twice, drain and fill, drive it, drain and fill.

cool, i'd replace that if I were you.

And you want us to guess at what? Obviously you towed it to a dealer or repair shop & will be hearing from them Only doing some testing will give you some idea of the required repairs Timing Belt Break ? We can only point you in some direction, if you give us test results or something you need to know If you never work on vehicles, then a repair shop will answer your questions

i cannot shift my honda pilot 2003 from all position to park

This is not a problem with the remotes. It probably doesn't work with the door lock switch either. I had the same problem and it is the power lock actuator. The problem is that the replacement part it is not just an actuator - It is the whole door latch. I replaced mine and you will need a hand impact driver to remove the 3 screws that hold the latch on the edge of the door. The Haynes manual will give you the steps with some pictures.

There is a small electric motor inside the actuator assembly that has probably "burned out". Same problem with my 03 pilot. The remote would not lock the other doors or arm the security system unless you physically locked the driver's side door. Eventually my passenger side burned out as well. Fixed it myself pretty easily. Cheap fix too. works like new now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/120935451126?var=420082237231&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

If you turn key on, with radio off, then hold preset buttons 1 and 6 in at the same time, then turn the radio on, it will show you the radio serial # going from the 1st 4 to the 2nd 4. A dealer can then give you the code. If you are the owner, You can also register with Honda online and find it there.

So why are you here? You have tried to charge the battery & maybe there are other tests that could be done,but the battery would appear to be done You always start any testing for a problem with a good battery capable of taking & holding a charge & at least 12.6 volts static

Although "making a noise is a little vague" and you changed the bearings I assume the noise is rotational and changes with speed. Only 2 months ago I had the same problem which I found to be the brake rotors. Examining them with the wheel off I could see the build up of rust on the outer diameter touched the brake calipers The cure, take a small hammer and bang the rust off, note the rotors were only a year old but I do live in the rust belt.

Hi Des, take it to an Auto Electrician they will fix it quick time. Or look for a blown fuse. Greg.

Apparently what has most likely happened is you were on a wet or ice road and may have lost traction on the road. You may have never even noticed, but your vehicle did. The vehicle compensated for the road condition & probably revved the engine a little to low, which probably turned on the check engine light. This is a scenario only.The best way to find out what's wrong is to have the computer scanned for trouble codes. The trouble code will point to the problem. Several auto parts stores will do this for free or rent you a scanner so you can scan it yourself. If the code isn't obvious or you need more help you can come back here and I'll walk you through figuring it out. It also could be you need to change the rear differential fluid. There was a TSB for this vehicle. I am not sure if your vehicle falls into it. You could check with the dealer as well. Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day

did u get new keys along with the ignition? if yes, then ur new keys have to be programmed again. Only dealer can do it.

Once the dealer hooks up their computer and activates the ignition you shouldn't need to go back, The code that you were given is usually just a temp code to get you to the dealer.

The tires could be out of round causing this problem suggest lifting and supporting car run at idle view tires to see if they are not round and also view thread if they may have a lose belt causing the car to shift .
