Check Engine Light Flashing
A flashing check engine light on a 2023 Honda Pilot is a serious warning: it usually indicates a misfire that can cause catalytic converter damage or further engine harm if driven.

Our certified Honda technicians have factory training and OEM diagnostic tools to identify whether the issue is ignition-related, fuel system, or sensor malfunction. Immediate diagnosis prevents escalation and often saves you money compared with letting a minor problem become major. We also provide clear estimates, genuine Honda parts, and options for service financing so repairs are manageable. Ask our advisors about current service specials and use the convenient online link to schedule service. Acting quickly preserves performance, protects emissions systems, and keeps your 2023 Honda Pilot running safely and efficiently.
2023 Honda Pilot Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2023 Honda Pilot can be simple, but it should follow a proper diagnosis. Clearing codes without fixing the root cause can mask problems and lead to repeated failures or warranty complications.

Choosing our dealership ensures transparency in pricing and service, backed by Honda-certified technicians and documented repairs—important for warranty compliance and long-term value. We often provide more cost-effective service than independent shops thanks to efficient processes and access to factory parts, and we offer service financing to help you address repairs now and pay over time.

2023 Honda Pilot Check Engine Light Codes
Common check engine codes for a 2023 Honda Pilot include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300–P0306 (misfires), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), and sensor-related codes like P0130–P0167. Left unaddressed, each can lead to increased fuel costs, reduced performance, or expensive component failure—P0420, for example, can escalate to catalytic converter replacement if ignored, costing significantly more than timely diagnosis. At Coggin Honda Jacksonville in Jacksonville, FL, we identify codes quickly using factory diagnostics, prioritize repairs that protect engine longevity, and explain costs versus benefits so you can make an informed choice. Our certified technicians use OEM parts to restore factory performance, and warranty-related repairs must be completed by a certified dealership to remain valid.
