my Honda Pilot YF3 (2016-2022) stability control light is on, what’s the issue?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools including an OBD-II scanner, multimeter, socket set, and torque wrench.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the ignition is off.
• Disconnect the battery to avoid electrical shorts.

2. Inspect and Address Wheel Speed Sensors

• Sub-steps:
  1. Raise the vehicle using a jack and secure with jack stands.
  2. Locate the wheel speed sensors at each wheel hub.
  3. Inspect the sensors for any physical damage or debris.
  4. Disconnect the sensor connectors and clean the terminals with electrical contact cleaner.
  5. Use a multimeter to test the resistance of each sensor; replace any that are out of spec.
  6. Reconnect sensors and secure wiring.

3. Check and Replace Brake Fluid

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir.
  2. Check the fluid level; if low, top off with manufacturer-recommended brake fluid (DOT 3 or DOT 4).
  3. If the fluid appears contaminated, perform a brake fluid flush.
  4. Reinstall the reservoir cap securely.

4. Inspect ABS Module

• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the ABS module under the hood.
  2. Check for loose connections or damaged wires.
  3. Use the OBD-II scanner to check for any ABS-related fault codes.
  4. If a fault code indicates a malfunction, follow the manufacturer’s procedures to reset or replace the ABS module.
