Obstruction Detection Function
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Honda Odyssey and 2005 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If any obstruction is detected while the tailgate is automatically opening or closing, the tailgate will stop and the reverse operation is activated. An obstruction is detected by the tailgate pinch sensor and the pulser in the drive unit. If the obstruction is detected when the shift lever is in any other position than P, or the vehicle speed exceeds 1.2 mph (2 km/h), the tailgate stops moving immediately.
