Headlight Leveling Motor Input Test

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.
NOTE:
  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  2. Disconnect the 3P connector (A) from the headlight leveling motor (B).

  3. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
    • If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
    • If the terminals are OK, go to step 4.
  4. With the connector still disconnected, do the following input tests:
    • If any tests indicate a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, replace the headlight leveling motor (see HEADLIGHT LEVELING MOTOR REPLACEMENT  ).
