Honda Odyssey Service Manual: Power Seat Control Unit Input Test/Replacement

NOTE:

• SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations, and precautions and procedures   before doing repairs or servicing.

• If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be sure to follow the instructions in B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A.

1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

1. Remove the driver's seat.

   NOTE: Be careful not to scratch the interior trim.

3. Disconnect the 18P connector (A) and 40P connector (B) from the power seat control unit (C).

4. 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 look OK, go to step 5.




5. Reconnect the connectors to the power seat control unit, and do the following input tests:

   • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.

   • If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 6.
