Although not new information I thought it a bit ironic I received an email about the recall... the screenshot says it all. REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE.

I signed up for emaI’ll alerts. Did they confirm by sending an email? just asking because I did not receive one but I do have a reference number. Thank you

I registered my wife's and no email has come through from them confirming, I did keep the confirmation number screen cap.

It will be interesting to see a description of the inspection they plan. Especially if only a very small percentage actually need repair parts. (Hopefully dealers will only fix those that need fixing, and not just see this as a way to bring in a little extra repair money from corporate.)

Finally got my new big battery. Now I can catch on fire like all the cool kids. I’m so excited!! They’re going to have to unwire all my wiring, including the CWMH (Christmas Wreath Master Harness!!) to get to the damn pump.

When I get home from this trip. I'm going to pull the plugs. Inspect them, then stuff them full of de electrical grease before I put the plugs back into place. Just like all the other plugs I did.

Good idea. I thought about doing this when I do my plugs. Probably gonna need a new tube of grease to get er done though.

Remember, de electrical grease. Not anal lube. That's stuff is for slippery shit.

I’m about to do that with my glow plug wires in case that’s my issue. I’ll hit the pump too while I’m in there.

@Wolf Island Diver are you getting a check engine light? I got one about 2 weeks ago for the #4 glow plug but haven’t had time to look into it yet. Being summer hasn’t been high on my to-do list.

Yeah I do, but I don’t get a code that I can find with the Tazer other than the CHMSL.

edit: my odyssey battery died a few mints ago and I went through warranty hell. I was running on the old janky OEM sitting in my garage with all sorts of electrical problems. This is when the glow plug warning light started flashing on startup. With the new battery in, I’m still seeing the warning and check engine but no other symptoms. The warning temporarily went away with a Tazer clearing. I have read that bad taillights can cause a glow plug warning in other diesels and my CHMSL is dead. No idea if that true for the Ecodiesel.

I'm not getting the glow plug warning light. I'm getting the check engine light and P06BC (Cal 4 glow plug circuit range/performance) and P0674 (Cyl 4 glow plug circuit/open).

The glow plug warning is also a general fault warning as well. It can mean water in the fuel, etc. I’m not getting any specific codes. I’m going to replace the CHMSL and check wires before I go any further, but if you’re getting specific codes that’s different. Of course don’t ever discount battery voltage issues. I’ve never had a vehicle so sensitive to minor voltage issues and they manifest in unintuitive ways.

 

[ssrlewis]

True. I haven't had any electrical issues/problems but I did wire up my winch thru a shutoff switch so maybe I’ll disconnect the winch and see if it goes away?
