The issue with the emissions system in a 2017 Honda Pilot typically stems from a malfunctioning O2 sensor located on the exhaust system. These sensors monitor oxygen levels in the exhaust to gauge fuel consumption. A faulty sensor can lead to excessive fuel usage by the engine, resulting in increased emissions. This can put added strain on the catalytic converter, which is responsible for reducing emissions. If you observe a check engine or emissions light on your dashboard, it's advisable to utilize an OBD II scan tool to identify the problematic component.

    I received the notification and brought my 2017 Pilot to the dealership today. It turned out to be an issue with the fuel injectors, so they were replaced.

    In February, the fuel injectors were swapped out and a software update was done. Things were working fine for a bit, but now the Emissions Systems issue has resurfaced, along with some transmission problems. The car lurches when shifting gears at around 30 miles per hour.

    @Raied - Just wondering, did you get your Fuel Injectors "cleaned" before this happened? Very interesting, because we recently had our routine maintenance done at the dealership and agreed to this service they recommended; now, a week later, we have a warning light on and are experiencing some performance problems.

    Denise C is interested in learning more about your concerns. Our car has experienced sudden surges in speed 4 or 5 times over the past two months without any warning lights indicating a problem. The dealership has refused to inspect it. Today, I am now facing the error message regarding the Emissions System Problem...

  • Magda K.

    I keep having the engine warning light come on repeatedly in my 2017 car. Every time I bring it in for service, I am left without a vehicle, and Honda never finds any issues. Now, I'm unsure if I should bother taking it in for another check.
