Quick answer
- Refrigerant type: R-1234yf
- Full system charge: 24.7 oz (700g)
- PAG oil type: PAG 46
- PAG oil amount: 4.5 oz (135 ml)
- Low-side service port location: Near the firewall on the passenger side
- High-side service port location: In front of the radiator on the passenger side
Why R-1234yf matters
Starting in 2014, Honda began transitioning to R-1234yf refrigerant. This new refrigerant has a much lower global warming potential (GWP) than R-134a, which is better for the environment. However, it's also more expensive and requires special equipment for service. R-1234yf systems have different service ports than R-134a systems, so you can't accidentally use the wrong refrigerant. You'll also need a special machine to recover and recycle R-1234yf.
Recharge procedure
To properly recharge the A/C system on your 2017 Honda Pilot, you'll need to have the system evacuated and recharged by a qualified technician. This is not a DIY job. The system must be completely free of air and moisture before it can be recharged. The technician will use a special machine to evacuate the system and then recharge it with the correct amount of R-1234yf by weight. They will also add the correct amount of PAG 46 oil.
Common A/C problems for this vehicle
The most common A/C problems for the 2017 Honda Pilot are compressor failures, condenser issues, and evaporator leaks. The compressor is the heart of the A/C system, and it can fail for a variety of reasons. The condenser is located in front of the radiator, and it can be damaged by road debris. The evaporator is located inside the passenger compartment, and it can leak, causing a loss of refrigerant.
When to call a pro
If you're experiencing any of the following problems with your A/C system, it's time to call a professional:
- The A/C is not blowing cold air.
- The A/C is making strange noises.
- There is a leak in the A/C system.
- The A/C is not working at all.
EPA 609 certification is required to service A/C systems. If you are not certified, you must take your vehicle to a qualified technician.
