Warning lights on other Odyssey years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2026.
What this problem usually is
This sheet is for the moment the whole dash lights up at once: a string of warnings for systems that seem to have nothing to do with each other. Sometimes features drop out. Sometimes it's all gone on the next start. When that many systems complain together, it makes sense to look first at what they have in common.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the battery (6 reports), the module (4 reports), the sensor (3 reports) and the wiring (3 reports).
Recalls and investigations
2 recalls on the electrical system cover the 2020 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
Incorrect central network software programming may cause several errors to occur that can delay or prevent the rearview camera image from displaying.
The wire harness for the third row seat accessory power outlet may get pinched between the unibody and rear trim panel, possibly damaging the wires and causing an electrical short.

6 of the 29 reports quote a price. Each dot is one quote. The middle half runs $1,300 to $2,500.
When it happens
Too few of these reports state a mileage to give a range.
What owners wrote
“On July 4, my vehicle suddenly shut down. The dash lit up and then the engine just died. This happened twice that day. And again multiple times on July 9. The battery was replaced recently.”

“one morning randomly multiple warnings turned on on the dashboard of my 2020 honda odyssey . the following warnings turned on and have stayed on since: Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Lane Keeping Assist Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, Road departure Mitigation Problem, Auto High-beam problem, and Brake System. This appears to be a common issue when searching online and appears to be a sensor issue.”

“There is some electrical or sensor issue with the 2020 Honda Odyssey EX-Ls. All my dashboard lights turn on, then I take it to the dealership to tell me they just had to do a system update. This is the 3rd time it has happened. This issue needs to be investigated. Honda is robbing me and many other owners of this issue.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 29 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
