The check charging system light in your 2011 Honda Pilot warns you about any issues the vehicle detects in the charging system. This warning can signal various problems like a low battery, a loose alternator belt, or even a corroded engine ground wire. Note that older lead acid batteries may struggle in cold weather. If it's near or below freezing, allowing the battery to warm up could solve the issue. If the light persists, you might have a faulty component that requires replacement. You can have your battery and alternator tested for free at many local auto parts stores.

    I'm experiencing a similar problem. Even with a brand new alternator putting out 14.2 volts and a new battery at 12.6 volts, the Check Charging System light is still flashing on and off.

    My alternator is in good condition, as it is generating the usual amount of voltage and amperage. The issue may lie with the wiring or possibly the computer system.
