Ignition Module Problems of Honda Odyssey

2nd incident of srs light staying on in 11 months. Both times light reset, however the dealer recommended replacement of control unit at a cost of $750 due to code8-3 reported by computer. Declined this service due to lack of ability to confirm diagnostics. Also was told on first incident that electrical system can cause this unit to report faults -- at that time battery was recommended to be replaced. Also rumored that cell phone usage or radio transmitters can make system report faults. Need more information on these units and their failures. .

Date: 7/12/02; mileage: 70,624; engine check light on, failure code p0740, clutch failure, will need torque converter replaced, est. Cost $1400. As can be seen, this same design flaw has been ongoing since 12,000 miles. The controller was "too sensitive" and replaced, which brings into question the reason for the ultimate clutch failure. Failure of the transmission could lead to serious accident and loss of life, for instance, should this occur during acceleration into busy traffic. Requesting assistance ASAP. Note: car was purchased at griffith Honda, baltimore, MD, but has always been serviced at o'donnell Honda, ellicott city, MD.
