The check engine light and tcs light has just come on in my 2000
Odyssey with 54,000 miles. Any input on what the problem might be
would be appreciated. Thank - you..

mine too,

the check engine light has comes on fairly routinely, the Honda
service folks said not to top off the gas as this may cause it - w
never did anyway. They check it and reset it at services

As for the TCS, it comes on at start up occaisionally - it has jus
started this. Turning the engine off and restarting seems to cure it

if the tcs and check engine light came on about the same time you
most likely have an egr problem. if the engine is not right the TCS
goes right out the window. take it in and see if they pull a P0401
code.

Same thing happened to me with our '01 Odyessey. Dealer reset it the
first time; second time got new solenoids, third time got a new
transmission, covered under warranty. I'm surprised that all the
dealer has done is reset your lights.

It was my non-dealer mechanic who told me to bring the car back to the
dealer, as he suspected it might be a warranty-covered trans problem.
Good luck.
