Honda Odyssey Coolant System Prob.

You may have air in the system. Run the car with the cap removed and the defrosters on allowing air to escape. Add antifreeze as needed to keep full while running. Fluid level will drop as thermostat opens.

Computer box problem

I would replace the computer box- these can be very pricy! In fact I would recomend replacing the car, you will have nothing but trouble from now on. When a vehicle is submerged, water goes into all kinds of places, and really messes up the whole electrical system. The wires will start to corode from the inside out. The reason for this, is the fact that the insulation on the wire is much like a straw with wire in it. Once the wires get wet in a situation like this, they get wet on the inside also, holding that water, and eating the wire. Every flood car that I have seen, will die a slow and painfull (wallet)death.

Hello! Where is the thermostat

Follow the lower radiator hose from the radiator up to the thermostat cover. Remove the electrical connector that is on the cover (to the radiator fan switch) and then remove the 2 bolts holding the cover to get to the thermostat.
How to install thermostate:
CAUTION Never open, service or drain the radiator or cooling system when hot; serious burns can occur from the steam and hot coolant. Also, when draining engine coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted to ethylene glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantities. Always drain coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or is several years old.
  1. Note the radio security code and station presets.
  2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  3. Drain the engine coolant into a sealable container.
  4. Remove the fasteners from the thermostat housing, then remove the thermostat.
To install:
See Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4
0900c152800b0b85.jpgFig. 1: A thermostat can be tested by placing it in a suitable container filled with water, and heating the water with a hot plate while monitoring the temperature with a thermometer 0900c152800b0b86.jpgFig. 2: The thermostat should open when the water reaches the correct temperature 0900c152800b0b87.jpgFig. 3: The coolant bleed screw is located near the thermostat housing on Odysseys with 4-cylinder engines 0900c152800b0b88.jpgFig. 4: Always install the thermostat with the small pin at the top. The rubber thermostat seal is installed around the thermostat
  1. Install the thermostat using a new seal. If the thermostat has a small bleed hole, make sure the bleed hole is on the top.
  2. Apply an anti-seize compound to the threads of the fasteners.
  3. Reassemble in the reverse order of disassembly.
  4. Set the heater to the full hot position. Set the heater to the full hot position.
  5. On Odyssey models with 4-cylinder engines, locate the coolant bleed valve near the thermostat housing and open the valve 1/2 turn.
  6. Top off the cooling system and overflow reservoir with a 50/50 mixture of a recommended antifreeze and water solution, and bleed the system to remove any air pockets as necessary. Simultaneously squeeze the upper and lower radiator hoses to help push any captured air pockets out of the system.
  7. Inspect all coolant hoses and fittings to make sure they are properly installed and if previously opened, close the bleed valve.
  8. Connect the negative battery cable.
  9. Install the radiator cap loosely and start the engine. Allow the engine to run until the cooling fan has cycled two times, then turn the engine OFF and top off the cooling system as necessary.
  10. Install the radiator cap and inspect for leaks.
  11. Enter the radio security code.
WARNING The manufacturer does not recommend using a coolant concentration of greater than 60% antifreeze. When mixing a 50/50 solution of antifreeze and water, using distilled water may help to keep the cooling system from building up mineral deposits and internal blockage.

ABS

ABS stands for anti-lock brakes. Without going into a long explanation, when a vehicles brakes lock up, meaning the wheels are no longer rolling, a vehicile begins to slide and the driver cannot control where it slides.

To combat this, drivers were taught to pump their brakes so the tires could get some grip to the road to steer. With ABS, a computer does the pumping for you, much faster than you could ever respond, thus allowing you to steer around a hazard.

With ABS systems, in an emergency situation, you should apply the brakes firmly, and hold them, allowing the ABS to kick in. Do NOT pump the brakes, the biggest complaint from the people who investigate wrecks is that drivers tend to not apply the brakes as firmly as they need to.

You can probably google anti lock brakes systems and get some very good explanations woth more details.
