Hey crashmaster thanks for the reply. The shop says they took the CT to another location where they have a Honda master tech and diagnosed it that way.Is the shop you took it to a Honda Dealership? If not, I would suggest that you take the car out of the independent shop and have the Honda dealership take a look at it.
Pretty much everything is tied into the ECU these days including the AC. It does seem odd that after they played with it that it stopped completely. Again, if you don't feel comfortable, take it to a different shop.
We bought with 18k miles and now has 160k miles. It was certified pre-owned so I assume no previous accident/flooding etc.Yes, I agree you need a second opinion.I still think I do need a second opinion but came on here to find out if it was a common issue.
Even Honda Master Techs don't always know everything!
A bad ECU is not a common problem with this car.
A bad ground before? And now an ECU problem?
Are you the original owner? Could this vehicle have been flooded or perhaps partially flooded or previously wrecked?
Thanks, this is definitely an option. If you have links to the vendors you've used to reflash ECU's that would be great.Guys. Just a little look back at issues Honda has had over the years. So the ECU controls the ground signal to the compressor, pulling a signal from the high pressure sw, low pressure switch, and the control panel. As far back as 1995, when the Odyssey was introduced, the problem is common. There are vendors on EBay who will take ECU’s, and for a couple hundred dollars, will repair and send back to you. I’ve flipped a few Honda’s knowing the ECU’s were bad, usually x8–10 my money. Just my .02
