I thought I would start a thread dedicated to the 2001 model since I know already that I will have this vehicle for a long time. I have visited Odyclub religiously for 7 years since I bought the Odyssey. I thought I would jot down some of the things I have learned in one thread to help others save time.
Feel free to add anything related to the 2001 model or just say hello if you are a 2001 owner.
Extended Warranty on Automatic Transmission (TSB 02-062) – A higher than normal incidence of transmissions have defects in material and workmanship and warranty is extended to 7 yrs 9 months (93 months) or 109,000 miles (175,000 kms) which ever comes first. Ensure ATF lines and fittings are flushed of debris before installing the remanufactured transmission. The remanufactured transmission has new inside components with a used casing. An external filter should be installed in the ATF return line, under the battery. http://techinfo.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/SB/A02-062.PDF
Extended Warranty on Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) (TSB 05-026) – 8 yrs/84,000 miles (135,000kms) In some vehicles, the EGR system can become contaminated or clogged. If this happens, then the vehicle will surge or hesitate during light acceleration and the MIL may come on with DTC codes P0401 of P1491. The repair involves replacing the EGR valve and reaming the port and installing a Teflon sleeve to reduce future clogging. http://techinfo.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/SB/A05-026.PDF
Seatbelt Lifetime Warranty (applies only in USA).
