The TDC sensor on a 2000 Honda Odyssey is positioned on the upper rear side of the engine under the timing cover. It is responsible for detecting when the camshaft reaches the top dead center of a cylinder. By determining when the piston is at its maximum compression, the TDC sensor triggers the ignition spark in the engine. A malfunctioning sensor can result in rough engine operation and potential stalling while driving due to the incorrect timing of the spark. Typically, this sensor lasts for the duration of the vehicle's lifespan, but issues such as wiring problems or moisture exposure can cause it to fail.
