Honda Odyssey Service Manual: Cargo Area Accessory Power Socket Test/Replacement

NOTE: If all accessory power sockets do not work, check the No. A2-2 (AS-FB-2) (50 A) fuse in the main under-hood fuse box, and the No. C13 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box first.

1. Remove the left rear side trim panel.

2. Disconnect the 2P connector (A) from the cargo area accessory power socket (B).

3. Inspect the connector 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 look OK, go to step 4.




4. Turn the ignition switch to ACCESSORY (I) or press the start/stop button to select the ACCESSORY mode.

5. Measure the voltage between passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box connector E (42P)*1   or E (22P)*2   terminal No. 8*1   or No. 4*2   and body ground. There should be less than 0.2 V.

   *1: With keyless access system
   *2: Without keyless access system

   • If there is less than 0.2 V, go to step 6.

   • If there is more than 0.2 V, check for:

     • Poor ground (G405).

     • An open or high resistance in the ground wire between passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box connector E (42P)*1   or E (22P)*2   terminal No. 8*1   or No. 4*2   and body ground (G405).

       *1: With keyless access system*2: Without keyless access system

6. Measure the voltage between cargo area accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground. There should be battery voltage.

   • If there is battery voltage, go to step 7.

   • If there is no voltage, check for:

     • Blown No. D14 (15 A) fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box.

     • Faulty cargo area accessory power socket relay.

     • An open or high resistance in the wire between passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box connector D (42P) terminal No. 4 and cargo area accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 2.

7. Check for continuity between the cargo area accessory power socket terminal No. 1 and body ground. There should be continuity.

   • If there is continuity, replace the power socket; go to step 8.

   • If there is no continuity, check for:

     • Poor ground (G802).

     • An open or high resistance in the wire between cargo area accessory power socket 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground (G802).

8. Gently press tabs (A) and remove the socket (B).

9. Gently press the tabs (A), then remove the housing (B) from the panel. Note the location of the indexing tabs (C).

10. Install the power socket in the reverse order of removal.
