Two problems related to check engine light on have been reported for the 2016 Honda Pilot. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2016 Honda Pilot based on all problems reported for the 2016 Pilot.
Check engine light is illuminated along with awd, keyless start system, emissions system, uphill start, trailer assistance, etc. Have had two engine coils replaced and a software upgrade. The lights go off for a couple of days and then return. Have spent $250 in diagnostics and nothing is fixed. Replaced batteries in both key fobs. I was told by dealership to replace the start/stop button for $375. Dealership also recommended replacing fuel injectors for $1600. No guarantee that this will fix any of the issues.
We bought a 2016 Honda Pilot ex awd from a dealer a month ago with 62k miles on it. Three days ago an emission system problem and check engine light came on. We took it to the Honda dealer immediately and the codes were p0430 and p219b. They diagnosed that one of the cylinders was running rich and misfiring. All 6 fuel injectors and a flex pipe needed to be changed. The estimated cost was $1700. I called Honda America thinking this is happening too early to a 3 year old car with relatively few miles on it. My other 2011 Honda is at 145k and never needed fuel injector replacement. I researched it online and found that this is a common problem among 2016 Pilots and there is a service bulletin for it 18-025. Honda America said there is no recall on it and that the 3 year 36k warranty is over. I am aware of those, but a 3 year old Honda should not need this replacement. They are researching if they should assist with the cost of the repair, and will get back to me in a few days. However, I would urge others with similar problems make a complaint here and pressure for a recall. If this problem continues and the car goes to limb mode in the middle of driving, it could lead to an accident. It would also not be safe being stuck next to a highway with a car not working. I am glad in my case it was noticed early on when the light came on. This is also an expensive repair early on in a car and should be fully covered by Honda.
