how to reset the check engine light in my Honda Pilot YF4 (2023-Present)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools: OBD-II scanner, vehicle owner's manual, and a notepad for recording any important information.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the ignition is in the OFF position.

2. Connect OBD-II Scanner

• Locate the OBD-II port, usually found under the dashboard near the driver's side.
• Plug the OBD-II scanner into the port.

3. Turn on Ignition

• Turn the vehicle’s ignition to the ON position without starting the engine. This will power the scanner.

4. Read and Clear Codes

• Follow the scanner's prompts to read any stored error codes.
• If codes are present and you have addressed any underlying issues, select the option to clear or erase the codes.

5. Disconnect Scanner

• After clearing the codes, safely disconnect the OBD-II scanner from the port.

6. Test Drive

• Start the vehicle and take it for a short drive to ensure the check engine light remains off.
