2010 Honda Pilot Check Engine Light Codes
Common check engine codes for a 2010 Honda Pilot include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), and P0135 (O2 sensor heater circuit).

Miller Honda Boise often prevents higher downstream expenses. Our Boise service center provides fast scanning, clear cost estimates, OEM parts, and factory-trained technicians who prioritize lasting solutions.
