I've got a strange set of symptoms that I'm trying to figure out...

I've got a 2012 Odyssey Touring Elite that was hit on the front driver's side. Since the repair, both the battery sensor and the front parking sensors have been reporting errors on the dash every time the car is started. I discovered the battery sensor issue first (the parking sensor system was not on at that point) and changed it out, but the problem with the battery sensor remains along with the parking sensor issue I found a short time later.

I've pulled the bumper to inspect the parking sensors and both appear to be fine. However I did notice that the plug connecting to the driver's side sensor only had 3 wires, while the plug for the passenger's side had 6.

So I've got a couple questions:

1. Is there a fuse responsible for either the battery or front parking sensors that might be blown? If so, which one(s)?
2. Given the number of wires to the parking sensors are different, any chance I've got the incorrect wiring harness on the passenger's side?

May I ask if someone with insight or experience with either of these issues would be willing to give me a hand here please?

Thanks very much for your help!

Found the problem with the battery sensor -- Fuse 8 in the fuse box by the battery was the culprit. One down, one to go. Don't see anything obvious in the fuse boxes that looks like it relates to the parking sensors yet.

 

Any thoughts on this guys? What's the common element the system that would cause both front parking sensors to not work when everything else does?

Thanks,
John

 

Hi John,

I noticed this blog and also that no one got back to you. My Honda Pilot has the same parking sensors and one has six wires and the other 3 wires. Quick question for you if I may. The plug for the one with only 3 wires, does it still have a plug with place for 6 wires and if so where are the wires located within the plug. Thanks Sean
