03 Honda Odyssey P1491 Code

Forgive my stupidity, but I am just trying to figure out what is wrong with my car and as a female, not get taken for a lot of money when I take it to the shop.

I have a 03 Odyssey with a little over 40,000 miles on it. The malfunction indicator lamp came on with the TCS light every once in a while coming on. I took it to AutoZone and they pulled the code P1491. I see on this forum that the hesitation that my car has done in shifting might also be part of this.

Does it seem like I need what I see on here is a EGR valve replacement and if so, will I be covered under the extension of the warranty to 8yrs/80,000?

Thanks for any help.

The P1491 is an EGR lift code. There is also a bucking sensation that can occur between 30-60 mph. when cruising and lightly stepping on the gas. Replacing the EGR valve will fix both of these problems.

As for Warrenty. For cars bought in california the warr. is 3 yrs or 50k miles. The rest of the US its 3 yrs or 36k miles whichever comes first. If you have Honda Care its also covered as long as your contract is still active

Thanks I appreciate that. What is Honda Care?

Honda care is the name of the extended warrenty company that is offered by Honda.

I have the same problem with my 03. They do have the recall on this issue and you should have got the letter in the mail. Up to 5yr/80k. If not contact your dealer. My EGR is on backorder.

Its not a RECALL its an emissions extension.
