Charge it up and load test the battery. Any auto supply can do it. Or you can check load with a meter.https://www.batterystuff.com/blog/ho...ry-is-bad.html

Codes can pop up when battery voltage drops also. If the code remains after you check/replace the battery and it has symptoms of a tbap problem such as hard starting,erratic idle or back firing,then could be the connector or the thin wiring on the tbap sensor. Usually sensors themselves aren't the problem. OTB has better harness repair kits than what I had from Polaris.https://otbpowersports.com/products/

Just a quick update cause I hate when people post and never update what the outcome was.. My buddy tested the battery and said it was junk.. The date on it was 11/07 so I almost got ten years out of it.. So I put in a new Odyssey and it fired right up.. No codes..Thx for ur help OPT..

10 years on a battery.. You got your money's worth on that Odyssey battery. Glad a new one solved the problem and also that you replied back for everyone. Same complaint here and from a lot of people on hit and run posts.
