My Honda Odyssey (2007) - there is a yellow Exclamation Point Light..the light came on. what does it mean? It looks like an Exclamation point inside an upside down U... is there something wrong with my car?

The 2007 Odyssey Owners Manual Page 68 says that the light is for your Vehicle Stability Assist system. It can come on for any of three reasons:
1) It comes on as a reminder that you
have turned off the vehicle
stability assist (VSA) system.
It flashes when VSA is active (see
page 330 of the owners manual).
2) It comes on along with the VSA
system indicator if there is a
problem with the VSA system.
You will also see a ‘‘CHECK VSA
SYSTEM’’ message on the multiinformation
display (see page 89 of the owner's manual).
3) This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position. See page 330 of the manual
If the light is on all the time and you don't get the Check VSA System message on the information display under your speedometer (if your have the touring model; otherwise you won't get the message) then I would bet that you inadvertently turned the VSA "Off". This happens quite often when people have the car detailed or when they wipe off the dust off of the dash.
The VSA switch is one of the rectangular switches to the left of the steering wheel. Pushing the switch in will turn the VSA Off; pushing it again with turn it back On. Turn the car on and with the engine running push the VSA switch in. If the light goes out, that's all it was.
if it doesn't go out, take the car to a Honda dealer for diagnosis. The car is under warranty for 3 years or 36,000 miles so if there is something wrong with the car the repairs will be under the warranty.
I think you'll just find that the switch is turned off
hope that helps

If the light is on and it looks like an exclamation point inside a triangle it is the VSA that has been deactivated by pressing the VSA button located on the left side of the steering wheel panel.
If it looks like a cutaway portion of a tire it is the tire pressure monitoring system. If you have recently had any work done on your tires such as rotating them or putting on snow tires on chains than the sensor could have been damaged or the tires were not re-installed correctly. This should be checked out by a Honda Shop to make sure that the sensors were not damaged beyond repair.
Either way you are covered by warranty unless the sensors were damaged by someones negligent work, in which case the store that did the work should foot the bill.
As a last resort look in the first few pages of the Quick Start Guide you received with the car to see if you can find the picture of the light and read about what it is trying to tell you so you can get it fixed.

Can't say that's not what it is, but can't say that is what it is, either. Have you ever had the transmission serviced? Do you check your transmission fluid periodically? Take it in and have it checked out. Maybe just low on fluid (check that yourself), or if you're lucky, maybe just a clogged filter. Don't mess around with things like that! Keep forcing it, and you'll be buying a new transmission before the year's out. Always read your owner's manual and follow the recommended service schedule. If you don't, you can void your warranty. At only 98k miles, I wouldn't think the transmission's went belly-up on you, unless it's had a really hard life. Good luck! Forget taking it to Autozone, take it to a mechanic! Autozone will tell you it's an oxygen sensor, I guarantee it. That's what they always say. Try Meineke, they know what's going on.

That light just came on in my '07 Odyssey too. According to the manual, it's the TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) indicator, but my tire pressure is not low. I believe the sensor is bad. So, you should first check all tires to see if they are low on air. If you live in a cold area, and it's just been on a day it could be adjusting to the temperature. But, if it's been on for a while (or on and off for a while) go to your dealer, it's most likely a bad sensor or needs to be re-calibrated.

It sounds like it might have something to do with the traction control system. Check your owners manual to be sure. I have an Accord with the same feature and a exclamation point or tcs light comes on anytime I take off on a slippery surface.
It will not go out until you restart the engine. If it remains on after you restart your car you may want to contact your dealer. There may be a problem with it.

tire pressure. check your tire pressures. when the weather changes and it gets colder you loose a couple of pounds in your tires. set your tire pressure to 32psi and drive it. the light will go out
