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.
What sealed the deal for me
I am attempting to figure out why the check engine and VTM-4 lights are illuminated. One day, when I started the car, both of these lights turned on simultaneously.
The reasons behind the Honda Pilot's check engine light and VTM-4 coming on can be attributed to low oil levels or a loose gasket.
Could you please clarify the intended message of "Should it be driven home from near Puyallup"?
In 2011, the warning lights for the vtm-4 and engine illuminated in my Pilot. I had the oil sensors replaced, which initially resolved the issue for a week. However, the same lights have reappeared now. I also noticed a slight vibration in the car. Can you assist me with this problem?
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. Sometimes only the check engine light illuminates, at other times both lights, and occasionally neither will come on. I'm hesitant to visit the dealership for diagnostic testing due to the anticipated costs. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
This has occurred previously with a sensor issue. Could it be the same problem this time?
The indicator light on my Honda just turned on for vtm light just came on.
What kind of stomach issues are you experiencing?
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.
My pilot experienced that issue with the code, and it turned out to be the variable timing pressure switch. This component shifts your engine from regular driving mode to high-performance mode.
Certainly! Here is a paraphrased and rephrased version of the text:
Hey John H, the nearby park is always closed if the weather condition is not suitable, but the event is rescheduled to the following day!
Why I am keeping three lights illuminated in my car: the engine, VSA, and BMV-4 indicators.
My VTM indicator light came on, seemingly in conjunction with the oil change. After getting the oil changed, the VTM light disappeared.
I had to swap out my engine because the water pump went bad. The warning lights came on and my car suddenly cut out while I was cruising down the freeway.
