It means the engine control module stored an OBD-II code pointing to a system fault—examples include P0442 (EVAP small leak) or P0300 (random misfire).

The light indicates your 2021 Honda Clarity detected a condition outside normal parameters. A code identifies the affected system, while freeze-frame data shows what was happening when the fault set. Our Honda-certified tools read live data and Honda-specific parameters to determine the root cause, not just the symptom.

• Reads and interprets codes plus freeze-frame data
• Confirms causes with targeted tests
• Written estimate before any repair

Typical causes include EVAP leaks, oxygen sensor faults, MAF sensor issues, catalytic converter efficiency (P0420), and cylinder misfires.

On the 2021 Honda Clarity, a loose gas cap or small EVAP leak can trigger the light, while aged O2 sensors or airflow issues affect fuel trims. Misfires risk catalytic converter damage if ignored. Our Irving team isolates the true cause so you don’t replace good parts.

• Common EVAP codes: P0442, P0455
• Efficiency codes: P0420
• Misfire codes: P0301–P0304

A steady light means drive moderately to service; a flashing light indicates an active misfire—stop driving to avoid catalytic converter damage.

If the light is steady, limit load and schedule diagnosis soon for your 2021 Honda Clarity. If it flashes, pull over safely and arrange service to prevent costly damage. Our Irving, TX advisors can guide next steps and help with towing if needed.

• Steady = prompt service recommended
• Flashing = stop driving and seek assistance

Youll receive a written estimate before any repair, so you can approve only the work you want. If financing would help, ask about our Service Now and Pay Later program for qualifying repairs.

What you can expect, step by step:

• Initial OBD-II scan and freeze-frame review
• Live data analysis to narrow likely causes
• Targeted isolation testing to confirm the fault
• Clear findings with a written estimate before repair
• Genuine Honda parts and OEM procedures upon approval

Several codes appear frequently on modern Hondas. P0420 typically indicates catalytic converter efficiency below threshold; continued misfires or rich conditions can shorten converter life if not corrected. P0442/P0455 relate to EVAP system leaks—from a loose gas cap to a compromised hose—causing evaporative emissions faults. P0171 suggests a lean condition from unmetered air or fuel delivery issues, while P0301–P0304 flag cylinder-specific misfires that can damage the catalyst if ignored. Our team confirms the true cause before recommending parts, preventing unnecessary replacements.

Ignoring these codes can lead to drivability issues, poorer fuel economy, and expensive emissions component damage. Bring your 2021 Honda Clarity to David McDavid Honda of Irving in Irving for an accurate diagnosis — schedule service.
