Air bags: frontal: sensor/control module-inactive
- What is wrong
- The frontal air bag system has two external impact sensors. On certain mini vans,some sensors were insufficiently sealed during manufacturing. If water enters a sensor, corrosion can occur. Corroded sensors could short circuit internally. If sensors fail, the SRS warning lamp on the instrument panel will turn on and remain illuminated.
- Risk
- Front impact sensor failure could cause a delay in, or loss of, frontal air bag deployment, which can increase the risk of injury in a frontal crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the front impact sensors. The recall began on august 30, 2005. Owners may contact honda at 1‑800‑999‑1009.

What 2005 Honda Odyssey owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Yes when I purchased the vehicle I was missing a few fuses, my back left door won't open or close on my car display it always shows that the back left door is always open. Also the car was missing a break pad on the front left wheel. It's also missing the passenger airbag. The dvd player doesn't work it always says error. And the car is missing all motor mounts so basically my motor is just hanging on top of cables in my car. The GPS display was also missing and my front right window doesn't close all the way up. The major #1 issue is the electrical problems in my car. I have 2 children I'm scared on day everything is fine & then one day it's not with my kids in the car god forbid. Oh yeah and the middle row left seat doesn't lean forward or back.

My airbag light is constantly on now. Is it defective or is this a common event with this vehicle???
I have a 2005 honda odyssey touring. For the last couple months, my passenger side air bag doesn't work when I start my car (pic's attached). Because of this I started researching the problem. I then found all the major air bag problems. I put in my VIN, but the msg I get is that it doesn't affect my car, because I'm registered in ca. However it does say one of the causes is excessive heat. I live in san bernardino county & the heat for the past mo. Has been 100 degrees or above, & when the car is closed up I'm sure the minimum inside is above 125 degrees & when the problem started. When you are replacing millions of air bags, I believe you should definitely include ones that are experiencing current problems. Thank you
The airbag light acting weird for couple days and then went off complete, and they have a sound very clear on suspicion the front and the driver side , and the head lights the driver side always been disconnected they have power electric issue
Air bag sign is on and stays on. Also the door on the passenger and driver sliding will not close or open properly. They open when driving automatically. It has been a problem for so long but my mom has not reported. The paint has chip away and we did not get a recall notice. I checked and now it is too late.
Power steering does not work under 1000 rpms. Passenger airbag is not functioning.
1) I have occasional "check airbags" message popping up on the dashboard, which disappear after turning off/back on. It may happen while I am riding or when setting the gear to park and unplugging the seatbelt. Consumer reports shows that there was a recall declared on airbags back on august 1, 2005 shortly after I bought this car on may, 2005. American honda said that there is no recall on airbags. I would still drive this car and by that reason decided contact nhtds. 2) rust on the body of the car above the rear right wheel is getting deeper. I have seen exactly the same spot rusted on other odysseys made in 2005 or later, when driving.
Car will only run from 3 to 8 days. Then has to jumped off. New battery. Alternator and battery checked no problem. I think it might be the fuse boxes or something electrical.vehicle is stationary.
