Honda Odyssey: Lights and Instruments
Affects Honda Odyssey · 1999–2000 — about 12K vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles, a dash light dimmer circuit, mounted in the multiplex control unit may be damaged by heat build-up if the dimmer circuit is operated at a setting that is less than full intensity. This would cause a transistor in the module to fail resulting in loss of instrument cluster lighting. Such a condition would prevent the driver from reading the speedometer or other instruments when operating the vehicle in the dark. Correction: Multiplex unit will be replaced.
