As the owner of a Honda Pilot, you may see various dashboard lights illuminate throughout your years of owning the vehicle. While these lights usually indicate it's time for regular maintenance and fluid checks, they can also signal a problem with your car. One of these lights is the VTM4, which stands for Variable Torque Management 4-wheel drive system. This system adjusts the torque sent to the rear wheels for better traction when needed. The most frequent reason for the VTM4 light appearing is low engine oil or a damaged gasket.

In 2014, the warning lights for the Honda Pilot's check engine and VTM-4 systems first appeared around six months ago. After ignoring them, they disappeared for a while before reappearing intermittently.

I'm hesitant to visit the dealership for diagnostic testing due to the anticipated costs. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Here's a more simplified version: "The temperature sensor in the back differential of a 2004 pilot is faulty, leading to the VTM light turning on. To fix this issue, a new sensor and a change of the rear differential fluid are necessary. The engine oil and gasket do not impact this warning light.
