There are two methods to perform a throttle body reset on a Honda. The first is using a scan tool, preferred by mechanics, dealerships, and auto experts. If you don't have a scan tool, you can still reset the throttle body easily. Begin by turning the ignition to RUN for 3 seconds after inserting the key. Then, start the car and try revving it up to around 3,000 RPM to activate the radiator fans. Allow the car to idle with accessories off after the fans start. Turn off the car after a few minutes to complete the throttle body reset on most Honda vehicles.

Stores typically conduct a reset of the Honda throttle body using a scan tool, but you can manually perform this procedure as follows: 1) Turn the ignition key to the run position for 2 seconds without starting the vehicle. 2) Start the engine and rev it to 3,000 rpm until the radiator fans activate. 3) Allow the engine to idle for five minutes without any additional loads (such as lights, heated seats, rear defogger, blower motor, radio, etc.) 4) After five minutes, turn off the engine.

I have attempted to start my Odyssey 2009 multiple times without success. I thought I was preparing it for the drag strip. I removed the throttle body, without turning the throttle plate with the key on. After cleaning the upper intake manifold and throttle body, I accidentally got some moisture in the MAP sensor on top of the body. I recently discovered a guide from a manufacturer of Honda throttle bodies, advising to start the car and let it idle for 3 minutes, then turn off the key for 1 minute, start it again and let it idle for another 3 minutes. This process might trigger a code to clear on the TPS. If the car idles too fast, drive it at speeds above 44 mph with varying speeds to adjust the TPS. This method worked for my peculiar situation, specifically for replacing a throttle body. I recommend disconnecting both the hot and ground battery terminals and connecting a small jumper between the wires without touching the battery terminals, for around 30 minutes. I accidentally left my jumper on overnight, which required me to reset the buss on the PCM. I believe that older models might improve their computer learning by driving.

The relearn process at 3000 rpms on a 2003 Element is absolutely terrible. It's ineffective and doesn't do what it's supposed to. Please stop spreading false information that it actually works.

I swapped out the electric throttle body on my 2007 2.4L Accord and the car started up without any issues. However, the check engine light turned on once I started driving. After driving for about 30 miles, the check engine light finally disappeared.
