Run the Sensor Input Display Mode

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 Honda Odyssey, 2016 Honda Odyssey, 2015 Honda Odyssey, 2014 Honda Odyssey, and 2013 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  2. Press and hold both the AUTO and RECIRCULATION CONTROL buttons, then start the engine.
  3. After the engine starts, release both buttons. The display control unit will flash the sensor number and then the value for that sensor. Record the value displayed.
  4. To advance to the next sensor, press the REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER/MIRROR DEFOGGER button.
    NOTE:
    • The sensor valves will be display in degrees Celsius (°C) or an alphanumeric code. Use the chart to convert the value to degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
    • If the sensor value displays "Er" this indicates there is an open or short in the circuit or sensor. Check for DTCs using the HDS, or refer to CHECKING DTCS  by DTC indication.
    • If necessary, compare the sensor input display to a known-good vehicle under the same test conditions.
    • If the sensor is out of the normal range, refer to the sensor test or substitute a known-good sensor, and recheck.
