Consumer Description

AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE RIDGELINE I FILLED THE FUEL TANK. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AGAIN THE YELLOW ENGINE EMISSION DISPLAY LIGHT WAS LIT AND THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM/RADIO DISPLAYED A NOTICE REQUIRING A CODE. THE CODE WAS ENTERED AFTER FINDING THE CODE LOCATION IN THE MANUAL. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, WE STARTED SMELLED HOT OR BURNING OR MELTING ELECTRIC WIRE INSULATION. THE WINDOWS WERE OPENED TO VENT THE SMELL. IT SOON CLEARED UP. WE STOPPED AT THE NEXT EXIT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. WE COULD NOT LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE MELTING WIRE SMELL. AFTER ABOUT THREE MORE ENGINE STOP/START CYCLES, THE ENGINE EMISSION WARNING DISPLAY LIGHT WENT OFF. THE HONDA DEALER SERVICE PERSON SAID THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR
