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: If the rear window wiper malfunctions, and no DTCs are detected, test the rear window wiper motor as described below, and check for an open or high resistance in the ground circuit of the rear window wiper (see step  12 ).
  1. Open the tailgate, and remove the tailgate lower trim panel (see TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - TAILGATE AREA ).
  2. Disconnect the 4P connector (A) from the rear window wiper motor (B).

  3. Test the motor by connecting battery power to terminal No. 2 and ground terminal No. 4 of the wiper motor. The motor should run.
  4. Connect an analog ohmmeter between rear window wiper motor 4P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 4 and run the motor (repeat step  3). The needle of the ohmmeter should pulse.
  5. If the motor does not run or fails to run smoothly, or there is no pulse, replace the motor (see REAR WINDOW WIPER MOTOR REPLACEMENT  ).
