What does it mean when Battery Light is on in Honda Odyssey?

What does it mean when Battery Light is on in Honda Odyssey?

Checking the voltage with the battery light on is the key here. If the battery light is on when the voltage is above 13v then something is still wrong with the alternator as the switch for the light is in the alternator. I had this with a Denso alternator on a 2006 Ody.

What does an alternator do on a Honda Odyssey?

The alternator’s job in your Odyssey is to provide electricity as it is running. The battery stores enough voltage to be able to start the engine without the assistance of an alternator.

Where is the fuse diagram on a Honda Odyssey?

The diagram for the interior driver’s side fuse box is on the kick panel below the fuse box. Check those fuses first, but check all the fuses before deciding that a blown fuse is the cause. Replace any blown fuses, and check if the device works.

What to do if your Honda Odyssey battery is draining?

For anyone who suffers from parasitic power drain issues and whose sliding door doesn’t latch properly, attached is a photo of the sliding door latch motor. Remove it from its housing and check for a seized spring latch.

What is the fuse box on a Honda Odyssey?

Honda Odyssey (2008 – 2010) – fuse box diagram Year of production: 2008, 2009, 2010 Primary engine compartment fuse box Number Ampere rating [A] Circuit protected 1 10 Left Headlight Low 2 30 Rear Defroster Coil 3 10 Left Headlight High 4 15 Small Lights 5 10 Right Headlight Low 6 10 Right Headlight High 7 …

What should the battery voltage be in a Honda Odyssey?

Battery voltage should be around 12.6v. When the alternator is charging it should be 13.5-14.5v. I’ve seen the intermittent battery light when high loads are placed on the alternator like both AC units, radio, etc. Then when loads are reduced the battery light goes out. Checking the voltage with the battery light on is the key here.

Why does my Honda Odyssey have a red battery light?

2011 Odyssey LX, about 110k miles, no problems at all until the red battery light (that is supposed to indicate a problem with charging) has been coming on intermittently starting a week or so ago, along with the CHANGE bATT message.

What is the ODS unit on a Honda Odyssey?

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Unit, Passenger’s Weight Sensor Unit, Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) Unit (2005-2007), Occupant Detection System (ODS) Unit (2008-2010)

What does it mean when your battery light comes on?

My car has an automatic transmission. Typically the battery light comes on when the alternator is not providing electrical power to meet demands of the vehicle. That you lost power steering assist along with the battery light coming on, leads me to think the one common thing between them – the serpentine belt drive system – is at fault.

Why does the battery light come on when you lose power steering?

Typically the battery light comes on when the alternator is not providing electrical power to meet demands of the vehicle. That you lost power steering assist along with the battery light coming on, leads me to think the one common thing between them – the serpentine belt drive system – is at fault.

How does the ECM work on a Honda Odyssey?

If everything was in spec, the voltage regulator removed the ground by providing positive source voltage on the L circuit. However, on late model vehicles, the ECM sends source voltage to the L circuit. If a problem occurs, the voltage regulator will pull the voltage on the L circuit to ground.

Checking the voltage with the battery light on is the key here. If the battery light is on when the voltage is above 13v then something is still wrong with the alternator as the switch for the light is in the alternator. I had this with a Denso alternator on a 2006 Ody.

Why does my Honda Odyssey not start up?

A couple of times our 2013 Honda Odyssey battery has become discharged enough so the car won’t start (low voltage), usually due to our umbilical cable having some sort of issue while towing it behind our motorhome and not charging the battery.

For anyone who suffers from parasitic power drain issues and whose sliding door doesn’t latch properly, attached is a photo of the sliding door latch motor. Remove it from its housing and check for a seized spring latch.

Why are the traction control lights on on my Honda Odyssey?

2012 Honda Odyssey EX-L – had issue with ABS and TRaction control lights on, door would not open unless ignition off. This procedure with pin 4 and 9 and light braking worked quickly, thanks. Practiced once, got on 2nd try. If not covered by warranty (or Honda claims damage), Honda wanted $280 just to diagnose.

Where are the fuses in a Honda Odyssey?

Primary engine compartment fuse box Number Ampere rating [A] Circuit protected 1 10 Left Headlight Low 2 30 Rear Defroster Coil 3 10 Left Headlight High 4 15 Small Lights

How many gallons of gas are left in Honda Odyssey?

Not far. I have observed in our 2013 that there is about 2 or 3 gallons remaining when the low fuel light comes on. That is in stark contrast to our previous 2004 Gen2 van where the low fuel light came on way too early, with like 5+ gallons left in the tank!

What’s the Order of the Honda warning lights?

They are roughly ordered by importance, which tends to be by color (red, amber, yellow, orange, green, blue, gray). There are over 60 of them so search carefully! Models examined include Accord, Civic, Clarity, Crosstour, CR-V, Element, Fit, HR-V, Insight, Odyssey, Passport, Pilot, and Ridgeline.

What happens when you hook up a car battery backwards?

When they put installed the battery, they hooked it up backwards and blew the main fuse. When the main fuse was replaced and I was driving off I noticed that the charging light was on, and the radio/clock was not working. Taking it back, they confirmed that the alternator was dead and replaced it (with me paying for it).

What should the voltage be on an odyssey battery?

If the battery is used in a starting application, the alternator should provide between 14.2 and 14.5 volts at the battery terminals. In cycling applications, the absorb voltage should be between 14.4 and 14.8 volts, while the float setting (if applicable) should be between 13.5 and 13.8 volts.

Is the Odyssey battery a Ni-Cd battery?

No, the ODYSSEY battery is NOT a Ni-Cd battery; it is an absorbed (starved) electrolyte valve regulated lead battery. In general, nickel cadmium batteries are much more expensive to manufacture and recycle, so they are far less cost effective than a lead acid product.

Is the Odyssey battery a gel or electrolyte?

No, the ODYSSEY battery is NOT a gel cell. It is an absorbed electrolyte type battery, meaning that there is no free acid inside the battery; all of the acid is kept absorbed in the glass mat separators. These separators serve to keep the positive and negative plates apart.

Is the Odyssey battery covered by the USDOT?

Because the ODYSSEY battery has no free acid inside, it is covered under the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) unregulated “wet nonspillable wet electric storage batteries” classification and International Air Transport Association (IATA) “unrestricted” air shipments categories. These batteries may be shipped completely worry-free.
