2021 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2021 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid should follow diagnosis; clearing codes without fixing the root cause can mask progressive damage and void warranty coverage.

Our process begins with a full scan, test-drive, and component checks to ensure the underlying fault is corrected. Then we clear codes and monitor system behavior to confirm the repair’s effectiveness. This transparent approach leverages OEM parts and factory procedures, backed by Honda-trained technicians and dealership warranties. We explain the repair, why OEM components are used, and how the repair preserves fuel economy and hybrid battery health. We also present upfront pricing and available service specials, and we offer service financing so you can complete necessary work today.
