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). Ignoring these codes can lead to higher fuel consumption, failed emissions tests, or severe engine or exhaust system damage that raises repair costs substantially.

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.
