Checking the Battery

The condition of the battery in your 2023 Honda Pilot is monitored by a sensor located on the negative terminal. If there is an issue with this sensor, a warning message will appear on the driver information interface. Should this warning message be displayed, have your vehicle inspected by a dealer to address the problem promptly.

Check the battery terminals for corrosion monthly.

If your vehicle's battery is disconnected or goes dead:

• The clock resets*.
• Canadian models only
  The immobilizer system needs to be reset.

Charging the AGM Battery

AGM labeled batteries like those installed in your vehicle require a compatible charger to be properly charged. Damage to the battery can result if the battery is charged improperly or with the wrong equipment. For more information on how to charge your vehicle's AGM battery, consult a dealer.

The battery installed in this vehicle is specifically designed for a model with Auto Idle Stop.
