Repair Procedure
Before you begin, make sure you have the anti-theft code for the radio and for the navigation system (if equipped).
1.
Verify your customer's complaint by test-driving the vehicle on a rough road while noting what conditions cause the door alarm to beep.
NOTE:
To cause enough body flex for the alarm to beep, you may need to turn into a steep driveway at an angle, or drive over a tall speed bump at an angle.
2.
Open the sliding doors, and look for pitting or other damage to the junction switch pins. (Each door has a door side and a body side junction
switch.)
^
If all the pins are OK, go to step 3.
^
If you find any damaged pins, go to step 5 to replace the door and body junction switches on that side.
3.
Park the vehicle on level ground.
4.
Press each pin on the door side junction switches to check for free and independent movement.
^
If any pins do not move freely or move inward when you press another pin, replace the door and body junction switches on that side. Go to
step 5.
^
If all the pins move freely and independently, go to step 14.
5.
Remove the door panel (see pages 20-13 and 20-14 of the 1999-01 Odyssey Service Manual).
6.
Inside the door, disconnect the door junction switch from its electrical connectors, and unclip its wire clips.

Remove the door junction switch (two screws).
