The AWD equipped 2011 Honda Pilot is also supplied with warning systems should its sensors detect an issue related to its function and traction control. The "VTM4" light refers to the "Variable Torque Management 4WD System" and could be triggered by many different errors. Under inflated tires or problems in the rear differential can activate the VTM4 warning and AWD will automatically be suspended to prevent damage to the vehicle or its transmission. At speeds over 18 mph the VTM4 restrictions will be temporarily suspended, but it is not advised to drive with this light illuminated. Sometimes, the knock sensor has become faulty located near the intake manifold. Several owners have reported this problem due to animals nesting in that area. The light can also be related to emission errors and replacing the EGR valve is usually required under these circumstances.
