What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2022 Honda Ridgeline?

  • Common causes include faulty oxygen sensors, loose fuel caps, evaporative emissions leaks, or misfires.
  • Each has different risks: an unchecked O2 sensor reduces fuel economy and may damage the catalytic converter, while misfires can harm the engine if left unaddressed.
  • Our technicians diagnose the root cause quickly and recommend cost-effective repairs that preserve engine life and resale value.

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light in your 2022 Honda Ridgeline signals a potentially severe condition — often an active misfire that can overheat the catalytic converter or cause internal engine damage. When you see a flashing light, immediate action at a qualified service center is critical. At Larry H. Miller Honda Boise our factory-trained technicians prioritize flashing-light diagnostics to minimize risk of costly downstream repairs. We begin with a computerized code scan, followed by cylinder-specific checks, fuel and ignition system tests, and emissions system inspection. Addressing the root cause quickly saves money long-term by preventing part failures that can escalate into engine or exhaust system replacements. We use OEM parts and Honda-approved repair procedures, and any repair covered under warranty will be handled by our certified team to protect your coverage. Take advantage of our service financing and check our service specials for potential savings.

2022 Honda Ridgeline Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2022 Honda Ridgeline can be as simple as clearing stored codes, but erasing a light without diagnosing the underlying fault risks masking an ongoing problem. At Larry H. Miller Honda Boise we explain why a proper reset should be paired with a full diagnostic: a temporary clear may silence the indicator until the onboard system detects the issue again, potentially leaving critical faults unaddressed. Our process includes a comprehensive scan, targeted functional tests, and verification drives to ensure the condition is resolved before we clear codes. We use Honda OEM software and parts to maintain system integrity and protect your warranty; any warranty-covered repairs must be completed by a certified dealership to remain valid. Choosing dealership service often costs less than independent shops when you factor in long-term savings from correct repairs, improved fuel economy, and avoided component damage. We offer service financing to help you get timely repairs, and you can review current offers at our service specials page. To schedule a verified repair and reset, schedule appointment online today.

2022 Honda Ridgeline Check Engine Light Codes

At Larry H. Miller Honda Boise in Boise, ID, we commonly diagnose several specific check engine light codes on the 2022 Honda Ridgeline. Typical codes include P0135 (oxygen sensor heater circuit), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0456 (evaporative emission system small leak), and P0171 (system too lean). Left unchecked, these conditions can escalate: a faulty oxygen sensor or P0420 can lead to reduced fuel efficiency and eventual catalytic converter failure, potentially costing thousands to replace; persistent misfires can damage pistons and the exhaust system; evaporative leaks can cause failed emissions tests and poor drivability. At our Boise service center we provide clear, itemized estimates and explain the immediate and long-term cost implications of repair versus postponement. Our certified technicians employ Honda diagnostic tools and OEM parts to restore performance and maximize lifespan. The dealership often costs less than independent shops when factoring in accuracy, warranty protection, and the prevention of cascade failures. We also offer service financing to ease payment and feature rotating discounts—see our service specials.
