    I have the same code (P0505 - Idle Control System Malfunction) for my 2002 Honda Accord V6 along with P1676 (FPTDR Signal Line Failure). Is the Rotary Valve a fix for both codes? Thx.

P0505 is directly related to the idle air control valve (sometimes called the rotary valve) i cant count how many of these i have replaced on hondas. It is located directly under the throttle body so it can be difficult to replace. I would recommend you having a professional replace this due to the difficulty of the valve removal

P0420 relates to the catalytic converter. The computer sees little or no improvement in the exhaust before and after going through the converter. Either your oxygen sensors need replacement (3 total) or you need a new catalytic converter.
What is the mileage on the vehicle? Does it run well? Oxygen sensors generally start to fail after 70,000 miles. Catalytic converters usually fail because the engine is runnig rich and the owner ignores that fault for months. This causes the catalytic converter to overheat and fail.

P1456 relates to the evaporative emission system. This system holds the gas fumes in the system so they are not vented to the atmosphere. The most common cause of this code being set is failing to properly tighten the gas cap after refueling. Take the cap off and clean the sealing O-ring. Put it back on and tighten till it clicks 3 times. Make sure you have the correct gray colored gas cap. Clear the code and see if it resets within a few days. If it does, try replacing the gas cap.

P1739 Automatic Transaxle Concernsthis is from the Honda manual, what does this mean? it means there is an electronic shift solenoid fault in the transmission and it need to have the Honda dealer hook up there dealer only test equip to pin down the exact issue with the trans controls.

SOURCE: 2002 Honda Accord V6 check engine light on- local

po505 idle air control if this is the code all hondas do it eventully, small problem easy fix u have 2 choices either remove the idle air control motor and clean the inside of it u will find it's black and the spring inside is stuck clean it with carb cleaner or gum cutter any parts store will have this it's a dirty job it will work for awhile but to replace it is recommended its not expensive for a new one which u can get at any autoparts store autozone,advanced,napa etc. there is only 2 bolts in most cases maybe 3 i doubt it though if u go online t google and type in th eyear make and model and engine size in ur case it's a 3.0 v6 and look for idle air control locations u'll find it to do this job a shop will charge u anywhere from 100.00 for diag to retrive the code plus the part and the labor so about 250.00-375.00 it will only take u honestly maybe 15 minutes to perform only tools needed are a 10 millimeter wrench there is only 1 connector to disconnect and ur done if u do this u will still have the check engine light because u have not cleared it from the computer to do this just disconnect the negative battery terminal (the black one or has a neg sign - don't disconnect the positive side +)for 5 minutes then reconnect and the computer will have reset no more light. good luck it really is that easy

2000 honda odyssey problem with engine vibration and engine light flashing..how ever i just did tune up but the prob. is still there..pls help

Hello
When the service engine soon light (Also called the check engine light or engine management light) is turned on this is to alert you to the fact that Powertrain Control Module (computer) has detected a failure somewhere in the systems it controls you may not feel any difference in the way the engine runs, this can be the transmission or the engine or emission system, there are fault codes set in the modules memory for these faults. What needs to happen now is to have the powertrain control module scanned with a special tool called an OBD2 electronic engine control scanner or a OBD2 code reader. Once the code(s) are read then you must perform the diagnostics for each code and make the appropriate repairs based on the findings of the diagnosis that was performed, this is called doing "Pinpoint" testing.

2000 honda odyssey, sputtering and pinging, hesitating, check engine light w/ tcs light.....???

The following is from the Honda Odyssey (1999-2004) Service Manual page 19-81:

"When the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL or check engine light) and the Traction Control System (TCS) light are both on at the same time, you should troubleshoot the Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system first."

"The TCS indicator will come on if one or more of the following components are faulty:
heated oxygen sensor, manifold absolute pressure sensor, crankshaft position sensor, engine coolant temp. sensor, throttle position sensor, top dead center sensor 1 or 2, intake air temp. sensor, exhaust gas recirculation, barometric pressure sensor, idle air control valve, VTEC pressure switch, knock sensor, fuel supply system, automatic transaxle, and misfire detection system of the PGM-FI system."

Most major auto parts stores have a code reader that will read out your diagnostic trouble codes or DTC's that are stored in the car's computer when the MIL comes on. They will do it for free. With these codes, you can narrow down what is wrong. This is good information to have if you are dealing with a mechanic or dealership. The terminal to hook up the code reader is under the driver's side dash about in line with your right shin.

The TCS and check engine light both came on my 2002 honda odyssey? Is it the O2 Sensor? Or can I just reset the lights? The engine also idles very low when the vehicle is stopped at a traffic light. No...

Don't reset the lights without getting the DTC's or diagnostic trouble codes from the car's computer. An autoparts store can hook up a diagnostic code reader for free. With the codes in hand, you can start to diagnose your issue. You can then reset the lights to see if the codes return.

When engine gets hot, idle is up and down with the engine light on. OBD code gives a P0505 code.

per this address "http://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/" p0505 is a "IAC (Idle Air Control) System Malfunction" it gives some good suggestions to look at to find a solution for your problem.

1999 Honda Odessey P1259 VTEC System Circuit Fault (Bank 1)

I would first try and reset the Powertrain Control Module since you replaced the alternator. This will clear all the codes and turn off the check engine light. To do this, pull the No. 13 "clock backup" fuse from the passenger kick panel fuse box for 10 seconds then replace.

Now, you should also do the Honda "idle learn procedure". This lets the computer calculate what a no load idle condition is so it can adjust idle speed when the engine or alternator is put under various loads. To do this, make sure all electrical items are turned off. Start the engine and hold it at 3,000 rpm in park or neutral until the radiator fan comes on or until normal operating temp is reached (about 4 minutes). Now let the engine idle for a minimum of 5 minutes with no loads. If the radiator fan comes on during the 5 minutes, the amount of time it runs must be added to the 5 minute period--the goal being a period of at least 5 minutes without any loads on the engine or alternator.

Also check the vacuum line to the evap solenoid. It is on the top of the engine near the intake throttle body.
