replace timing belt and inspect the water pump if the vehicle is regularly driven in weather over 110 degrees F.
105,000mi/168,000km/7 years:
replace timing belt and inspect the water pump only if the belt was not replaced at 60,000miles.
that is a direct quote from the service manual for the 99 odyssey minus references to page numbers.
you don't drive in 110 degree weather regularly, (i assume), but then it has been seven years. personally, its alot less expensive to replace a belt than a cylinder head.
The guy that changed it told me if it burns out again to bring it in to Honda to check if there is an electrical short.
Any one else have this problem?
Thanks
another possibility, see if autozone or other sells a bulb for more stressful service (like a dump truck for example).
filaments are pretty delicate things.
ok, another possibility is an alternator with poor voltage regulation. i presume other bulbs would burn out if the volts output from the alternator were truely excessive. then again, i'm not sure what other lamps you'd have on: maybe parking lights?
another possibility: going out on a limb.. do both bulbs on the sides burn out, or just one side? if just one side, i'd suspect the socket is faulty, and not making good contact with the bulb. happens. if they put one of these bad bulbs under test, is the filament actually broken so there's no continuity?
some ideas. regards.
maybe people with very far off the curve fuel economy should ask someone check their timing...
Thanks
This is a 2002 EX Canadian.

Specifically look at page 9.
It appears Honda suggests it is a repair free of charge.
exactly the way u explained it. Did you solve your problem
If so can you help me???
dash goes dead ,no odometer reading dash completely off like when your in the accessory mode radio keeps playing . turn key towards the on position and every thing comes back to life the engine even restarts in the drive position, some times I have to restart engine withe the starter. It acts just like I turned the key to off or to the accessory position. I think it's in the keying mechanisim. can any one help me.
I was told by dealer and Honda USA that once the 7 yrs/100000 extended warranty is up, I am on my own with this rebuilt tranny!! If something goes wrong with this rebuilt tranny, i have to bear the cost for future repairs. My questions are is this true that there is no more warranty on this replacement tranny?? not even the minimum 12mths/12000 miles on replacement parts.....What are some of the members' opinions on rebuilt tranny if they have it replaced on their van?? How reliable is it?? Also any outside extended warranty plan that i could purchase for this rebuilt tranny??
Worst case, do i have any recourse or claim against Honda if rebuilt tranny go bad within a year?
thanks

The dealer replaced the bulbs in both the odometer and the clock since that clock is reachable when you do the odometer. At the same time they changed the daylight running light module. The module was under warranty. Daylight running lights are mannatary in Canada and have been on new vehicles for about the last 20-30 years. If the module burns out it has to be replaced as the police could charge you for driving without them. The total bill was Can$138.
I had taken the van to the dealer to replace the SRS unit before this. Everything was fine before it. The dealer obviously said they got nothing to do with it. On top of it, they quoted me $134+tax to replace this. I believe the dealer is trying to get me to replace the entire hose assembly. I checked on hondaparts.com, the section of tube I need to be replaced only costs about $12.xx.
Has anyone seen this happening before? Is this tube easy to replace? Any information would be very helpful
Thank you.
search this forum for a link to the EGR TSB.

dash would go blank like I turned off the key while driving. had no effect on the accesseries. It turned out to be the contacts in the ignition switch. part cost around 70.00$ The wiring goes down the column over to and plugs into back of the fuse box ,located on left wall on the drivers side. The old switch when taken appart was burnt and carboned up. deffinetly the problem.
Any words of wisdom or commisseration would be welcome. Thanks.
if you've been bringing your vehicle to the dealership on a regular basis, they may goodwill repair the ECM, but like I said, you may be surprised to find the ECM (ECU) is covered.
ASK. (politely)
I'm thinking this is a transmission problem. My friend says the clunk is an axle.
I have the extended 100,000 mile warrantee. I know if it is a transmission problem, it is covered, but if is an axle, is that covered? and does it sound like transmission? or axle? Thanks
In short, get the transmission replaced if you trust the dealer's shop to do it right.
Best of luck.
