Has anyone see the message "Warning: Approaching Object" on your 2019 Odyssey? Not sure what triggered it, but it was stuck on until I power-cycled the car. So, what triggers it?

Has anyone seen message "Warning: Approaching Object"?

I'm just guessing here but in the manual is specifies not to put bumper stickers on the bumper and to wash off mud when it gets on the bumpers. That is where the sensors are located and it can interfere with their operation. If the van is clean then you got me beat.

Was someone walking in front of your van? I don't recall seeing anyone near mine. My van had no stickers or dirt on it -- it was washed 2 days prior.
Mine points an arrow in the direction of the object. I don't see an arrow on the picture. That part has me confused.

Hi Pjones. Which year and trim do you have? Mine is 2019 EXL and I didn't know it had that feature.
Mine is the 2019 touring model (highest model in Canada). Maybe it's a Canadian thing? Now you have me second guessing myself. Perhaps I'm confused, it tells me the direction of people walking towards me or cars approaching when I reverse.
Question for the OP, were you in drive or in reverse when this occurred?

My situation was I reversed to pull out, and that worked fine. Then that message popped up some time after I shifted to drive.
I am familiar with the warning when I reverse and other cars approaching me from left/right. There are blinking V-shaped indicators showing where they're approaching from. The warning in my 1st post, however, looks different, and I am just wondering if there are other sensors I am not aware of.

There is a picture on the original post.
Just got the same message on a Canadian 2018 EX-L today -->
My third day on the car. This sucks.
Yours actually shows the front passenger side bumper sensor is the one in alarm. Were you parked close to a curb or an object that may have triggered it? Mine will go off if I pull into a stall and the curb is too high.

There's something else that would be of benefit to this forum (besides fixing all the other deficiencies). Add a mandatory field in the Profile area where we must specify year and model. With so many trim levels, options, and country dependency, it’s often difficult to answer a question accurately.
Rainy day, and it kept constantly going off whenever the vehicle stopped motion along my 45 minute commute. Clearing it wheel controls (as instructed on the driver display) did not help. Putting it into Park did not help. Turning off the engine did not help. But turning it all off, exiting, and locking doors seemed to "reboot" the car .. it's been fine since then even although we had another rainy day. Seems like a software bug.
This looks like over-active right front corner parking sensor.
Did you actually have anything within 2-4 feet of your bumper when you took that picture, or was it a totally phantom alert?
If the latter, have you tried disabling parking sensors (one of the buttons in front of your left knee) to see if that makes the alerts go away?

If you can confirm that this is an flaky parking sensor, document the issue with pictures, and have the dealer replace it!

I have a 2019 Odyssey and have the same exact issue. The approaching object sensor comes on when my foot is on the break but then goes away once I accelerate. I don’t know why it keeps happening and have even cleared off my bumper thinking it was dirt that was causing the issue. All I know is it’s incredibly distracting.

My 2022 Honda CRV is also doing the same thing. Can it be fixed via programming?
Had this problem, watched this video, it explained:

I had my parking sensor on while driving in cold snow rainy weather and it kept beeping when I was creeping up to the car in front of me. I just turned it off and it stopped. In the video it says that the system might malfunction in severe weather
