my Honda Pilot YF3 (2016-2022) dashboard lights are flickering what to do

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools: multimeter, socket set, screwdriver, and cleaning supplies.
• Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to ensure safety while working on the electrical system.

2. Clean Battery Terminals

• Remove the battery terminals using a socket wrench.
• Clean the terminals and battery posts with a wire brush to remove corrosion.
• Reattach the terminals securely and ensure they are tight.

3. Test and Replace Battery (if necessary)

• Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
• Use a multimeter to check the battery voltage; if below 12.4 volts, consider replacing the battery.
• If the battery is faulty, remove it using a socket set and replace it with a new, compatible battery.

4. Inspect and Replace Alternator (if necessary)

• If the alternator voltage is below the specified range, it may need replacing.
• Remove the serpentine belt using a socket wrench to relieve tension.
• Disconnect the alternator wiring harness and remove mounting bolts.
• Install the new alternator, reconnect the wiring, and reinstall the serpentine belt.

5. Check Fuses and Relays

• Locate the fuse box and inspect fuses related to the dashboard and lighting.
• Replace any blown fuses with the correct amperage rating.
• If a relay is faulty, remove it and replace it with a new one.
