To reset the "check engine" light in a 2011 Honda Pilot You will need to either address the failure that triggered it, or use an OBDII scanner to clear the warning. The CEL is not designed to be cleared through standard channels, i.e. "reset" buttons. Keep in mind, it may be on for a serious or simple reason and doing some detective work might automatically reset the light. Check for a loose gas cap. When tightened, the light will go off. If You've been starting and stopping excessively, the catalytic converter may be stressed and driving at highway speeds for 15-20 minutes should clear the CEL. If none of this works, consider the warning is indicating there's an issue with the transmission, O2 sensors or spark plugs and get the Pilot diagnosed immediately.
