Where is the temp sensor on a VTM-4?
I am not used to noting all the stuff as I go on, so this will be mostly a pictorial DIY, if you have questions, PM me or something. Anyhow, the temp sensor if located at the rear of the VTM-4 unit, and it is protected by a piece of metal held by three 10mm bolts to the VTM-4 unit.
What causes a VTM-4 light to pop up?
I have the same issue. 2004 Pilot, My VTM-4 light and check engine pop up, we changed the VTM fluid and the temperature sensor but now when you start driving for a wile and press the brakes, then the engine lights comes on and VTM- 4 light comes on. Then you stop the car and stop the engine.
When does the VTM 4 light come on?
I have a 2012 Honda Pilot and my VTM-4 light came on while I was sitting idle in park with the engine running. The battery indicator light also came on at this time. As I began to drive away i noticed that there was a minimum torque with the transmission so it took a little while before the normal torque would engage.
Can a OBD-II scanner read a VTM-4 code?
An OBD-II reader will do just that- read OBD-II codes and nothing more. All the other stuff (like VTM-4, etc) are manufacturer-specific, thus you need a Honda-specific scanner for that stuff. Basically, if you get a Check Engine light, an OBD-II scanner (that talks ISO9141 protocol), it’ll pull codes for that but nothing else.
Where is the O2 sensor on my VTM-4?
My VTM-4 light came one around 175,000kms I took it into Napa auto part store, had the rep hook it up to the scan tool. It came back with BANK 2 SENSOR 1. Which is an o2 sensor that needs to be replace from the top of the engine. You can see it once you open your hood located behind the cooling fan.
