The Check Engine Light on a Honda Pilot
The Check Engine Light on a Honda Pilot is an indicator that there is a problem with the vehicle’s engine or emissions control system. It is part of a high-technology performance monitoring system that uses sensors strategically placed throughout the vehicle to detect conditions and send data to the electronic control unit. If the data is outside of factory specifications, the Check Engine Light will illuminate to alert the driver of a problem.
A steady glow of the Check Engine Light typically indicates a less serious issue, while a flashing Check Engine Light indicates a more serious problem that requires immediate attention and service.
Some common reasons for the Check Engine Light to come on in a Honda Pilot include a loose or broken gas cap, fuel injection system malfunction, bad head gasket, dirty mass airflow sensor, faulty oxygen sensor, malfunctioning emissions control device, or defective spark plugs.
If the Check Engine Light is flashing in your Honda Pilot, it is highly recommended not to drive the vehicle and to schedule Honda service immediately.
Please note that it is always best to consult with a qualified technician or visit a Honda service center to diagnose and address the specific issue causing the Check Engine Light to illuminate in your Honda Pilot.

Is I VTEC automatic?
And yes, it is an automatic. Now, I know many of you believe that manual is the way to go for a car like the City; and the sales data reflects that. But, I had two very good reasons to select an automatic.
What is the most serious warning light?
The check engine light is usually the most serious and feared warning because of the kind of damage it can signal. This warning often indicates the potential for serious engine damage. When ignored, your vehicle could suffer from a blown head gasket or a seized engine.
What is the I light on Honda?
System Message Indicator Light: The System Message Indicator Light is a yellow letter “i” inside a circle. This lets you know when there’s a message regarding your vehicle’s condition on the multi-information display.
What is the exclamation mark on my Honda Pilot?
When that warning light triangle with an exclamation point pops up, there’s a simple explanation. It means that there is something wrong with your Honda vehicle’s Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) system. This system helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the car turns more or less than desired.
What is the I symbol on my car dashboard?
It’s there to get your attention and notify you that your car has some “information” to share with you. Usually this is redundant with a message at startup that indicates what the actual problem is. For example, if you have a burnt-out tail light, it will notify you at start-up and then the “(i)” symbol illuminates.
How do I get rid of the exclamation mark on my dashboard?
It’s an easy fix: You need to inflate the tire. You may see a yellow exclamation mark on a dashboard instead, which also indicates an issue with your tires. Some cars have an orange exclamation mark, while others have a yellow one.
Why is the exclamation light on?
The horseshoe shape on your dashboard light (often with an exclamation point in the middle) indicates low tire pressure. Low tire pressure happens naturally over time from driving. Cold weather also causes low air pressure as the air compresses inside of your tires.
What is the exclamation mark on my Honda dash?
Low tire pressure/TPMS indicator (yellow): What appears to be a horseshoe with an exclamation mark inside of it, this indicator alerts you to the fact that one or more of your tires has low pressure. If the light is blinking, then there may be a problem with the monitoring system itself.
Why is my vehicle stability assist on?
The system will often activate under hazardous conditions caused by weather, a loose road surface, or the car being driven too fast for the corner it’s attempting. VSA can also help to maintain smooth acceleration on slippery terrain or steep gradients.
What are the 3 main warning lights gauges?
There are 3 different categories of warning lights; red, amber and green:
- Red warning lights mean you should stop the car as soon as it’s safe.
- Yellow warning lights mean that action is required.
- Green warning lights are for information only.
