Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing in a 2023 Honda Passport usually signals an active misfire or another condition that could damage the catalytic converter—this requires immediate attention.

A flashing light can mean engine misfires, ignition faults, or severe fuel mixture problems; ignoring it risks costly downstream repairs and reduced fuel economy.

Repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to keep coverage intact—our service advisors manage warranty claims and documentation for you.

2023 Honda Passport Check Engine Light Codes

Common diagnostic trouble codes for a 2023 Honda Passport include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0135 (O2 sensor heater), P0300 series (multiple cylinder misfires), and P0455 (evaporative emissions leak). Each code has associated risks: leaving a P0420 unresolved may lead to catalytic converter failure and expensive replacement; unresolved misfires (P0300 series) can harm the engine and converter and increase fuel use; EVAP leaks like P0455 can trigger emissions failures and reduce performance. At Coggin Deland Honda in DeLand, FL, our team diagnoses codes accurately and explains the cost-benefit of timely repair—fixing sensors or small leaks now often costs far less than replacing major components later. We emphasize dealership value: OEM parts, certified technicians, warranty protection (repairs under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership), and transparent quotes that spotlight immediate and long-term savings. Explore our service specials and schedule service to get a professional diagnostic and recommendation tailored to your Passport.
