Shutter Grille System Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2025 Honda Odyssey, 2024 Honda Odyssey, 2023 Honda Odyssey, 2022 Honda Odyssey, and 2021 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The shutter grille system controls the heat dissipation by controlling the air flow to the engine room during engine warm-up. Aerodynamic performance is improved while the vehicle is running by controlling the opening and closing of the shutter grille. Improved engine warm up and aerodynamic performance helps improve fuel efficiency.

Operation 

The PCM communicates to the shutter grille through the LIN communication line.
