System Description: Overview: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 Honda Odyssey, 2016 Honda Odyssey, 2015 Honda Odyssey, 2014 Honda Odyssey, and 2013 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The active control engine mount (ACM) system reduces the amount of engine vibration which is transmitted to the passenger's compartment.

The ACM system consists of the engine mount actuators, the engine mount control unit, and the PCM.

The PCM receives the engine vibration signal from the CKP sensor and the CMP sensor, then sends the signal which is in phase with the predicted engine vibration to the engine mount control unit.

The engine mount control unit sends current for driving the ACM actuator to the actuator and it operates the plunger to reduce the amount of engine vibration.

The ACM changes the engine mount firmness with the actuator and the plunger.
