Honda Dashboard Warning Lights Guide
Vehicle reliability has improved a lot in the recent past. And for a brand that has always been exceptionally reliable, like Honda, it’s likely that owners don’t actually see many dashboard warning lights. That’s certainly a good thing, but it’s good to know what all of the various warning lights mean, so that in the event of the unexpected, you know what to do. And that’s why we put together the following guide.
What Do The Dashboard Warning Lights Mean on Your Honda?
The chart below will obviously be needed to know what the specific issue is in your vehicle, but it’s important to note that the lights are generally color-coded, and even if you don’t know what the issue is, you can get a general idea of how urgent they are. Red lights are for the most serious issues, the ones that require you to pull over immediately. Yellow lights are for issues that you need to get addressed as soon as possible, but don’t generally require you to pull over that second and have your vehicle towed in. Green (or sometimes blue) lights aren’t a problem, they’re just there to let you know that some system or function is switched on.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes the TPMS Light or Tire Pressure Light to come on?
There are a few reasons why a TPMS light might come on. The first and most obvious is that you have a tire puncture. There is also a possibility that the sensor itself is faulty, although this isn’t especially common. One of the more common reasons is that external temperature changes can cause tire pressure fluctuations, and it only takes a change of 4 psi to set off an alert.
How can I turn the TPMS light off?
The best way to turn off the TPMS light is to check your tire pressure and make sure all four tires have the correct pressure. If the tire pressure is correct and the light is still on, your best course of action is to bring it to Germain Honda of Naples so we can check the sensors themselves and get you back on the road as quickly as possible.
Where can I find the correct tire pressure for my vehicle?
The recommended tire pressure for your vehicle can be found on the driver’s doorjam. There will be a sticker there with the relevant information. Alternatively, it can also be found in your owner’s manual.
What causes the Windshield Washer Fluid light to come on and how can I turn it off?
What causes the light to come on is quite simple, the level of the fluid in the reservoir has gotten low, and turning the light off is as simple as refilling the reservoir. You can find the reservoir under the hood, but if you’re at all unsure about where it is or which of the reservoirs are for washer fluid, we strongly recommend that you bring it in to us for topping up. Adding washer fluid to the wrong reservoir can have catastrophic consequences.
