Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2023 Honda Odyssey is a serious alert that typically indicates active misfire, catalytic converter risk, or critical electrical issues. When you see a flashing light, you should stop driving as soon as it is safe and have the vehicle inspected immediately by a certified technician. At Larry H. Miller Honda Boise in Boise, ID, our technicians use factory diagnostic tools to identify whether the problem is a misfire caused by ignition coils, spark plugs, or fuel delivery, or whether the battery and charging system are overheating electronics. Addressing a flashing light quickly prevents secondary damage — for example, ongoing misfire can overheat and damage the catalytic converter, dramatically increasing repair cost. We offer same-day inspections when possible, OEM parts, and warranty-backed repairs to protect your investment.

Resetting the check engine light on a 2023 Honda Odyssey may clear the warning temporarily, but it does not cure the root cause. Our team at Larry H.

We also offer transparent estimates and discuss immediate and long-term savings — correct repairs now mean fewer repeat visits and better fuel economy.
