The check engine light on a 2003 Honda Pilot and other vehicles serves as a general alert for issues with the engine, electrical system, emissions, fuel, and other components. The first step to address this is to use an OBD-II diagnostic tool to scan your Pilot, which will identify diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) pointing you towards the problem. Without these DTCs, it is difficult to determine the cause of the check engine light. Common issues that could trigger the light include problems with the EVAP emissions system (ranging from a loose gas cap to a faulty purge canister valve), spark plugs, thermostat, oxygen sensors, or fuel injectors. If you do not have a scan tool, many major auto parts stores offer free scanning services for your Pilot.
