I have successfully managed to get the ATEQ Quickset to work with a swap of Summer and Winter tires. It hasn’t been without trial and tribulation but there was certainly a lot of happiness going on when I finally got it all done. Details on the process follow.
1. The supplier for Odyssey TPMS components is TRW and they have this special thing called “Shipping” mode. Given that each sensor has a Li-ion battery, the battery does not start operating until a tool is used to send a 125 kHz to the sensor. This is a different tool than the ATEQ Quickset. Not funny. Very irritating.
2. The Odyssey (non-touring) system is based on “uploading” sensor IDs into the ECU of the vehicle. However you first have to know the IDs before you can do this. Word of caution -- Even if TireRack says they will include the IDs with your order, they might not include the IDs with your order. I ended up having to go to a dealer to get this done because the ATEQ Quickset cannot read the sensor IDs. Yet another tool has to be used to read the sensors IDs. Not funny. Very irritating.
3. Finally once you have woken up the sensors and obtained the IDs you can use the ATEQ Quickset to download the existing IDs (e.g., Summer tires) from the ECU and upload the new ones (e.g., Winter tires) to the ECU.
Glad it is over with and hoping that eventually Honda will decide to use the Touring system (auto sense and relearn) on all trim levels of the Odyssey in the near future. This kind of cash grab does not give me a good attitude. If you have questions let me know.
