Check engine and TCS light.

Update....so it seems to shift into reverse and drive when cold....once heated up I lose all control of gears. Simple answer given by dealer...is replace the transmission..but I don't trust them. Thier best interest is to charge 4500$ for replacement. They couldn't answer me when I asked why it would work when cold. New obd code is p0720

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I have the same issue.

From what I understand, this is sometimes caused by warn brakes. They heat up which activates the TCS and it only turns off once the brakes cool.. Have your brakes checked..

I just got A 2018 and after putting gas in my car my check engine light came on

Check you TCS solenoids on top of the transmission.. That will most likely be your problem

Did you ever find a solution? My 2001 is doing the same thing.

So it depends on what your symptoms are. If you see the issue when the engine speed crosses above 3000rpm then it is related to the VTEC system. If you can read out the failure codes, write them down and clear them. Through next free thing to try is to disconnect the battery for 10-20 min which will reset all of the system memories (this worked for me).

I have the same issue with my 04 Honda Odyssey LS and I've came to the conclusion that it's something to do with the ABS speed sensor on the passenger front side of the car. It comes on periodically both the check engine and the TCS light and immediately is followed by rough shifting and driving. It's kind of scary. Replacing the ABS sensor can help but does not seem to solve the problem but, it did for a period of time. When the lights come on you need to turn the car on and off. This whole restart the TCS light and your car will drive normal until the light comes on again and I just repeat the step until the problem occurs again.

Does anyone actually understand the solution to all the problems mentioned above. It does not seem the dealership is the answer either. They gamble a lot despite the gigantic bill they put costumers through--what a shame and reap off. I have the described issue with my Honda odyssey 2001. Could someone help?

Can someone help me with this problem with the TCS on my 2002 Honda Civic

The issue for your Civic may be slightly different, since the discussion is mostly about 2002 - 2004 Odyssey.... what are your symptoms?

This happened on my 2006 Honda Odyssey both the lights would come on it would start shaking real bad and I would get no response from the gas I would shut it off let it cool down start back up it would run fine for about 10 minutes then it would do the same thing I was told it is a safety mechanism in the van that when your engine oil is extremely low it will not let you go at high speeds to keep you from burning the engine up check your oil level

I have a 2003 honda odessey and the TCS light comes on and then it dies on me.let it cool down and it starts.took it back to carlot they cant find no codes on it.

99-04 odysseys have a faulty solenoid. The solenoid screen that adjust and filters during shifts becomes clogged. After prolonged use( about the time you notice bad shifting) the filter is already clogged. It will throw a TCS light. Typical symptoms are bad acceleration, poor shifting ( typically 1-3 gear), hard shifting( banging when changing gears and hard shifting when putting it in drive. The issue goes away after the trans has cooled but comes back as the temp rises. Typically you can clean the screen on the solenoid located ontop the trans but this is a temp fix. 9 out of 10 times the trans needs to be replaced. Honda is aware of this but nothing has been done. Hopefully everybody's issue isnt this but unfortunately this is an extremely common problem with the model!!!

Just took my 2003 Odyssey in to get my brakes done. Since I got it back I'm having the same issues TCS and Engine light coming and having rough idli G while driving. Told the shop where I had my brakes done and they're telling me it's nothing they did

I just my 2003 Odyssey to get the brakes done. After getting my van back I've been having this same problem. TCS light and Engine light coming on and every once in awhile. Revs up really fast. I called the place I had my brakes done and was told it nothing to do with what they did? I got all new rotors and brake pads installed. Never had this issue before?

I have a 2001 accord with a p1498.I had a bad sensor in egr sensor .I also had TCS lit. Replaced egr and p1498 went away check engine and TCS went out. I had this problem a couple of years ago a p401 check engine light and TCS.I cleaned manifold ports p401 left and Check engine went away and TCS. Five years ago had check engine light and TCS had exhaust leak before Egr.I replaced exhaust gasket and lights went out. I think this is a flaw somewhere

I am having the same problem with a 2003 Honda Odyssey. What was the fix?

I have 2001 Honda odyssey and my tcs along with my engine light keep going on and off while I'm driving at the same time. I was having a different issue not too long ago and he checked my codes I actually had quite a few codes come up. The ones that stand out to me over everything I just read but first let me add I'm having no transmission problems. But I did have something come up diagnostically about my exhaust I know my brakes are starting to squeak in the back so there's my brake problem although it didn't code when that happened and he said also something about my O2 sensor. After reading all of these comments I believe that the indicator lights can be quite a few different things none of them which are very good. And I know that my transmission was replaced before I bought it and I know my transmission is not been acting up or my acceleration. I basically see no difference when my lights come on and when they go off my car seems to drive the same. I'm thinking my exhaust has a lot to do with it along with my brakes.

Check engine light blinking means it’s serious so fix it tcs and check engine pull codes misfire and random misfire and abs. Bad sensor on left front wheel also the abs has a control module expensive new this can also be caused by a bad ground to the module the module will try to recompensate motor timing which may cause advance and retard and yes misfire. Diagnosing is the hardest part of the fix and can get expensive and when using a decent diagnostic unit and seeing live firing you have to be able to interpret what’s going on to evaluate the root cause. Mechanics and doctors lawyers lol use this to elevate and upsell not all but there are those that look at sales not people just saying. Misfires will after so many revolutions of loading and misfiring cause the random missfire.

So what it sounds like is your car is on the toilet

I cannot believe how many people have had this issue. This started for me last evening. I have a 2011 Honda Odyssey. I will be taking my vehicle in in the next hour.....

GuruLDWQ2.... What ever you find out on your 2011, I'd love to know. I have the same model. 2011 Odyssey EXL. Misfire codes, blinking engine llight, Trx Control. Power loss with elevated RPM. Started right before we did a full break job. Actually Right after it came down off of the lift when the mechanic did his visual inspection. Weird. I spoke the the dealership and they said it was typically piston ring blow back issue and there was an extended warranty available depending on a Vin search. **Update, the Mechanic called and said piston 1 and 5 were misfires, and piston 1 coil pack fell apart upon removal. I replaced the plugs with OEM parts and coil packs little over a year ago and misfire codes happen again. Holy wah. Off to the parts store and see if we can call up a short term win.

I am the same problem with TCI light comes on 2003 odyssey and corrected problem on Transmission with shifting when hot by replacing solenoid on tr transmission

2012 Honda Odyseey had tcs and tractioncontrol lights on. Had misfire code on cylinder 5. Replaced coil pack and light went off for about days then came back on. Took it to Honda there was oil filing out the spark plug.. It is covered under a recall for piston ring replacement of cylinders 1,3 & 5. The notches in the piston ring lines and lets oil get to the spark plug. Taking it Aug. 12 to have it dobe. And the reason I answered again is because I said the wtong cylinder numbers

Powerwash the front rotors..

The solution, and I'm not being facetious here- is sell your van. Honda is not what it used to be IMO. My 2012 is doing this same thing. Since probably 110k? It now has 115k. Junk trans. Junk automatic doors. Evap system issues. I'm going back to my roots. TOYOTA.

Forgot all about this thread, I’m still not convinced but a transmission shop said I need transmission replacement for about $5000, instead I sold it to a junk yard for $500. I now drive a Nissan Armada and love it. Still I’d get a new Odyssey if found the right deal. In between I did buy a used 2007 Odyssey And it was awesome a couple years but started having the similar problem. Still drives but rough, convinced it’s not the tranny but now it’s sitting in my driveway waiting for the summer to tackle it.

2003 Honda Odyssey. Catalyc Coverter is brand new, worked for a few a weeks. Now the TCS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. My van won’t start even start after a 15 minute charge, and the battery is brand new.
