Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2019 Honda Ridgeline is a critical alert that indicates an active misfire or other condition that could damage the catalytic converter if driven long term. When the light flashes, the engine management system is detecting irregular combustion that risks overheating components or creating excessive emissions. At Larry H. Miller Honda Boise our first priority is safety and preventing expensive downstream repairs. Our certified Honda technicians perform a prioritized diagnostic workflow—quickly scanning codes, checking ignition components, fuel delivery, and sensors, then isolating the cause. We document findings and present transparent options: immediate repairs to stop the misfire, temporary measures to get you home, or scheduled service with OEM parts. Because a flashing light often requires same‑day attention, we streamline the process and offer service financing so you can address urgent repairs now and pay over time.

2019 Honda Ridgeline Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2019 Honda Ridgeline without addressing the underlying cause can lead to repeated failures and masked problems.

Miller Honda Boise we emphasize diagnosis first, then reset as part of a comprehensive repair workflow that uses OEM tools and factory procedures. Our technicians verify repairs by re‑testing systems and monitoring readiness monitors to ensure emissions components meet standards. Choosing dealership service delivers transparent documentation, genuine Honda parts, and warranty protection—any repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid.
