This is my vehicles thank you all for the great suggestions. The lights came back on after a week. As I was getting ready to take it back to Kit’s the lights went back off again. The car still drives fine. The only issue is the dash lights coming on intermittently.
Good job my friend! You can only go by what the data is telling you. Like you said needs to be more permanent. At least your not shotgunning parts at the car, the customer should be happy about that.
I appreciate your sincerity about this case. My opinion you have a problem in CAN communication because i've seen an bus off code on your diagnostic tool in the beginning of the diagnostic test . If you have a intermittent communication the will takes time to trigger "bus off" beacause the error count has to make 287 errors so after that the lights com on in dashboard. I believe that in time the lights will come more often until they will stay continuously and then will be more easy to pursue or put in evidence the problem.
@florinstan3745 Thank you! Yes I agree with you! we might have a communication issue but when I scoped it the waveform looked good and of course it was not acting up so the customer is gonna keep driving it until it becomes a hard fault then I'll figure it out!
Someone in the comments said to try an idle re-learn. Good advice. I would add some sticking valves (maybe adjust the them - check the valve clearance). Good luck!
****DIY guy here: I would verify that parts like MAF, Coils and Spark plugs are OEM from dealership, not cheap Chinese units. Dissappearance of code by just swapping a coil says a lot about the coils.
Maybe an in cylinder pressure transducer test,because the pcm Is still noticing a miss every so often but not enough to trip a code ,or maybe that's just what we would like to see lol.Great job tho!love the channel.
Check the bulk connector on the left side of your left foot. Water usually sep through the corner of the windshield, causing corrosion in the connectors behind that panel
Sometimes after 2 or 3 drive cycles. If the codes return. Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect Ecm & Tcm wire connectors. Spray both connectors with only electrical cleaner. Reconnect them.
The TCM is communicating with the ECM through CAN about torque info. If there is a misfire present - or has been in the past then the torque signal wasn't / isn't what the TCM expects because the misfire messes it up and makes it irregular. Solve the misfire and the TCM torque signal won't have any misfires ruining it and the TCM will be happy. Don't for the love of god replace TCM or PCM for this fault please. Solve the misfire by proper diagnostics - not guessing and not hoping and replacing random parts. Don't fire the parts cannon, that is not proper diagnostics and repair etiquette.
I have the Ridgeline 2018. diagnosed by Honda with code P304. my vehicle is part of a campaign for faulty injectors. I believe this Pilot 2016 is part of the same campaign. About the VSA and Lane Assist …. check the battery voltage. Numerous Ridgeline 2nd gen owners report how an older battery gets weaker voltaje and some of the car modules starts to freak out. battery voltage lower than 12.4V may confuse the computer modules. replaced mine after 5yr and it looked its walls were a bit bulged out.
@nesmio7378 That's not what we do in our shop here we don't fire the parts cannon! we Test not Guess! so we are gonna observe it and see if this fault comes back, Thanks for the suggestion!!
I think “cdbuiles“. Is new to your channel, that made him think you fire part canon. He should take time to go through your records before making these comment
I agreed with this comment, I have had tcm error code with this same dtc on Volvo cars, when the ecm has dtc, I will get that p2653 error codes but as soon as the errors are solve on the ecm side, they tcm torque message do not come back
You had a PILOT before in your videos, I took notes and you had this same code but it was not a concern in that video so no help from your older video?? Love all your stuff Bro. Cheers
Chase the misfire to begin with, i see an aftermarket coil pack...clear all the codes, remove the battery terminals and short out any remaining power in the modules....leave it for about 10-15 mins and return everything back to normal. Check the battery voltage just incase.
Deo...sound like you have a wiring harness issue. Pull out a breakout box and scan for CAN resistance. If the resistance is out of spec (other than around 60 ohms) you may have an intermittent open in the wiring to a module connection.
@ekimbrough1413 Great idea! But I scoped the network and the waveform looked great, I should have filmed that part, I will make sure I film every step of the process if the car comes back!
It's hard to diagnosis the problem if it not permanent because everything will be fine when diagnosis.. but I think the problem could be ground wire issue or some plugs lose
This is the common problem with this year of the Pilot, there is an extended warranty for this. Most Likely you need to replace the injector and reprogram ECM.
@endaleberta3156 Keep watching my videos and read some books on scan tool usage! you can email me at kitsautoandtruckrepair@gmail.com and I will recommend some books for you to get!
I think something to do with bad electric connections especially the ECM, TCM side. The car has done 100K miles, and gone through several seasons, so thats an area to look into.🐞
@mohabatkhanmalak1161 Good suggestion but I checked Powers and grounds off camera for the TCM & ECM and they were fine, I believe tthe ECM is failing so we will see if it comes back!!
DTC p0304 misfire cause DTC p2638 store in TCM replace injector set relearn idle system should take care of this problem injector still warranty by HONDA.
@wzthonda8013 Good suggestion but wouldn't a defective injector cause a constant misfire? that cylinder barely misfired, The customer will bring the car back when it gets bad and I will make sure I check the injector!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair depend how severe clog fuel injector. Honda Warranty Extension: 10 years or 150000 miles for 17-19 pilot due to defective parts also include update PCM update 9 speed transmission TCM. you can perform air fuel ratio test see injector pass or fail{rich} test . Fuel Injector Kit part# 06160-RLV-305
Its looks like electric faults. Honda very bad on electric fault. My sister 's hoda got all kinds off different different issues and most places she went they couldn't figured it out because they don't have honda diagram even dealership charged her 6000 to rebuild her engine and it still full of issues, i highly doubt dealership ever rebuild or change the engine but they definitely changed her $6000 and couldn't fix issues and a day later she was getting misfire. Her ac compressor had been changed 4 times and alternator had been changed 3 times but no one fixed the real issues but told it got electric fault somewhere. I think this vehicle has electric faults and yes ecu could be causing all those things
