If you are experiencing issues with emissions on your 2017 Honda Ridgeline, such as a trouble code, fuel odor, or failing an emissions test, there are a few areas to investigate. Firstly, check the O2 sensor, which ensures the correct air-to-fuel ratio in the vehicle. A defective sensor can cause the engine to run rich, leading to fuel leakage in gas form. Additionally, problems with the catalytic converter or EVAP canister can result in emissions escaping through the cap, producing a foul odor like rotten eggs. Resolving any of these issues will address the emissions problem. Although you may still be able to drive with this problem, it is not ideal for the vehicle or your health.

    The Emission System Failure light came on, and I noticed a significant loss of power in my vehicle. I struggled to climb hills, with the RPM hitting 4000 to reach 45 mph, and could only get up to 71 mph going downhill. The engine was revving and the vehicle started shaking. It took me 5 hours to get home that night, and there was an awful smell coming from the exhaust pipe. It seems like I may have lost 4th and 5th gear, as my gas mileage dropped from 25 mpg to 18.1 mpg on a long-distance trip. I'm the original owner, and my vehicle only has 71,000 miles on it. The computer is showing "Service required #16." I'm curious if anyone has experienced a similar issue and how it was resolved. Please email me at carteocean@yahoo.com with any advice.

    A warning light for an emission system failure came on, and I experienced a noticeable decrease in power while driving. While going up a hill, the vehicle was only able to reach 45 mph at 4000 RPM, and on the downhill it maxed out at 71 mph. The engine started revving and the vehicle began to shake. It took me 5 hours to get home that night, with an awful smell coming from the exhaust pipe. It appears that I may have lost access to the 4th and 5th gears, as my gas mileage dropped from 25 mpg to 18.1 mpg during a long distance trip. I am the original owner of the vehicle and it has only 71,000 miles on it. The computer is showing a service required message labeled as #16. I am curious if anyone has encountered and solved a similar issue, so if you have any advice, please email me at carteocean@yahoo.com.
