Error Codes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Honda Odyssey and 2005 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The audio system displays error codes when a problem is detected with the disc changer, the disc, the XM radio, or the anti-theft code.

ERROR CODES

Error Code Displayed	Possible Cause	Solution
DISC	Cannot read disc.	Eject the disc and try another one.
DISC ERROR	There is a problem with the disc player. A common problem is disc labels coming off the disc in the player.	Try to eject the disc and try another one. If there is still a problem, replace the audio unit.
DISC FORMAT	A disc was inserted that has a format that is not recognized.	Eject the disc and try another one.
DISC-H	Disc player is hot. This can happen if the vehicle is parked out in the hot sun all day.	Park the vehicle in a cooler place for awhile and try the disc player again. If the error code is still present, try another disc. If the error code is still present, replace the audio unit.
