Honda Odyssey Sliding Door Actuator / Lock Controller Replacement (2011–2017)

If your 2011–2017 Honda Odyssey sliding door jams or pops when using the interior or exterior handle, but opens perfectly with the key fob, driver dash switch, or B-pillar button, this video shows the fix: replacing the Door Lock Controller / actuator tray assembly. This issue is extremely common on Odyssey Touring and Elite trims, and I walk through the entire process including the interior lock/unlock actuator and the trim/color swap.

Symptoms Covered:
• Door jams when using interior handle
• Door jams when using exterior handle
• Loud pop during partial opening
• Works fine via fob, dash switch, or B-pillar button

Safety Tip: Roll down your driver window while working to prevent locking your keys inside.

Parts & Tools (OEM Options):
• Passenger (RH) Lock Controller / Tray Assembly: 72622-TK8-A11ZA (Warm Gray) / 72622-TK8-A11ZB (Truffle) / 72622-TK8-A31ZA (Graphite Black)
• Driver (LH) Lock Controller / Tray Assembly: 72662-TK8-A11ZA / 72662-TK8-A11ZB / 72662-TK8-A31ZA
💡 Pro Tip: The interior lock/indicator trim piece can be swapped, so any color variant will work with your vehicle. I show this step at 16:54.
