Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light in your 2024 Honda Ridgeline is an urgent signal that active misfires or severe engine problems could be damaging catalytic converters or other components. When the light flashes, stop driving as soon as it is safe and bring the vehicle to Hare Honda in IN for immediate attention. Our factory-trained technicians use Honda-specific diagnostic tools to identify misfires, fuel delivery faults, or ignition failures that can quickly escalate into major repairs if ignored. Repairing a misfire promptly avoids costly downstream damage; for example, a prolonged misfire can ruin a catalytic converter, which can be a significantly higher expense than addressing the original ignition or injector issue. We offer clear estimates, OEM replacement parts, and service financing to reduce out-of-pocket strain so you get safe, lasting repairs now and pay over time. Check our current service specials and schedule service online for fast priority care.

2024 Honda Ridgeline Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2024 Honda Ridgeline is a simple step after repairs, but a reset without proper diagnosis can mask an ongoing fault. At Hare Honda, we explain the read-and-reset process: first we pull manufacturer codes, test sensors and systems, complete necessary repairs with OEM parts, then verify repairs by clearing codes and performing a confirmatory drive cycle. This ensures the light stays off for the right reasons and protects your vehicle’s long-term performance. Choosing the dealership means full transparency—every repair comes with documented diagnostics, genuine Honda parts, and technician certifications. Warranty-covered issues must be serviced at a certified dealership to maintain coverage; we’ll file claims and record all work to protect you. Take advantage of our service specials, ask about loyalty discounts, and schedule service today to keep your Ridgeline running like new.
