2016 Honda Pilot Check Engine Light Codes

The most common engine light codes for a 2016 Honda Pilot include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold), P0171 (system too lean), P0300 (random/multiple misfires), and P0440/P0455 (EVAP system leaks). Left unaddressed, P0420 can lead to catalytic converter failure and repair costs exceeding $1,000; P0171 and misfires reduce fuel economy and can cause long-term engine or catalytic damage; EVAP leaks will cause emissions failures and ongoing poor fuel trims. At Larry H. Miller Honda Boise our Honda-certified technicians use factory-grade diagnostic tools to isolate the exact cause and recommend OEM replacements only when necessary. That accuracy reduces repeat repairs and saves you money over time. We pride ourselves on transparent estimates, clear timelines, and efficient repairs. To protect resale value and maintain performance, schedule service promptly and review our service specials for seasonal savings.
