Checking for DTCs

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.

The temperature display indicates single or multiple DTCs. If no DTCs are present, the indicator remains blank.

NOTE: If driver's temperature indicator segments A, B, C, E, G, J, and M with the AUTO indicator, the MODE indicator, and the WINDSHIELD DEFROST indicator are on at the same time, there may be an open in the sensor common ground wire.
