my 14 Odyssey did almost the same thing. The dealer want to charge to look at it, I took it to local, they reset it and never come back. They even do it for free and say the gas cap. Not sure apply to this RX

I thought gas caps trigger a specific light these days and not the CEL?

Try another stealer, there should be plenty of them in California unless you are in the middle of nowhere.

+1. bad gas cap doesn't equate to misfire. I had a worn out gas cap for my BMW....the light pops on

On a similar subject, I had malfunctioning Blind Spot Monitor message pop up once on my 16RX. Anyone here had that pop up? $500+ to run a diagnosis is crazy....I can plug in my reader to see the codes.
