I have a 2004 Honda Odyssey multiplt missfires (tcs/engine light)
Hi, I have an 04 Odyssey. The engine light is on and the traction controle light flicks on as well. I plugged it in and got 8 codes, multiple missfire, miss fire in cylinders 1,2,3,4,... also codes related to exhaust issues. Yet the van runs great and goes down the road great. Untill I hit around 45 to 60 mph. Then I get the vibrations from the missfires and engine light blinks. So far I put in an erg valve (no help), changed spark plugs (no help), replaced a coil pack in cylinder 5 (no help). One mechanic told me to double check the spark plug gapping on the new plugs. Another says the module for the coil packs might be the issue. Another said it could be the mass air flow sensor. Another said it could be the screen in the fuel pump. I put dry gass and lucas fuel treatment in the tank and ran it good to see if I had some bad gass. but the light kicked back on. Not sure what to do. Please help. It seems strange that all these codes should go off at ounce. It must be just one thing or another to set it all off.

probably do have codes the abs light is a' check engine light'it carries codes most likely problem is an abs sensor failing /failed this also ties bin with your traction control system check hubs --sensors and wiring for failing or damage
I would highly recommend having the check engine code read,if you can access the code i would be more than happy to read it to you but there should be no reason why the TCS light comes on. That is your (TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM) and should not be coming on and off,
The TCS light is on because the check engine
light is on this is common repair the check engine light failure abd the
tcs will go back to normal.
You need to check the code to see if it is a trans code and then if it falls under the bulletin limits Honda will replace the trans under warranty. Even if you are out of warranty Honda will sometimes do a partial warranty. Here's a copy of the Bulletin.
There are several things that will turn the check engine light and tcs light on .if you get the code I can tell you exactly what the problem is . on your year i see transmission problems as well as egr problems. if you go to any large auto parts store they will check the code for free or a very small fee.
the TCS light is Traction Control System. It works with the anti-lock brake system. When the computer senses wheelspin, it rapidly pulse-brakes that wheel to keep the spinning to a minimum.
If both the check engine light and TCS light are on, you have a trouble code waiting to be read. Major auto parts stores will read your codes for free.
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.
