Although this may work, it will void your warranty. It is certainly risky nowaday to tinker with the ECM as you do not know what else are affected when the ECM is being fooled. I think there are several TBs on the engine vibration on the VCM engines and Honda would fix them properly. The Accord V6 VCM has the same design as the Odyssey 05 when it was first introduced. I happened to have the 06 Odyssey and it works fine. Initially, it worked seamlessly and the only time I knew it worked is when the green light on the dash illuminated. Now, it still works well at 55K but I notices when it kicks in but there is no resitation and no jerky motion. May be I am just lucky but I could imagine how bad it could be if the damned thing does not work smoothly.

The Pilot owners figured that inserting an 80 ohm resistor between the Bank 1 engine case temperature sensor and the ECU turns the VCM off w/o tripping the CEL. Google "vcm muzzler" and you'll find the guy who did it. This is for V6. Now, knowing that, I am interested to find out how to do the same thing on the 4 cyl and disable the cylinder disable when the vehicle is stopped, which is driving me nuts even before I bought a 4 cyl Honda.
