We you all asked for it. My install on the 2018 Honda Ridgeline of the AEM Cold Air Intake system. The truck sounds great with it plus the Magnaflow exhaust. It was a easy install by myself and this is a very detailed DIY of every step. Skip to end to hear what it sounds like with intake installed.

Just installed my AEM COLD AIR INTAKE. EVERYTHING WENT VERY WELL. INSTRUCTIONS WERE PERFECT. KZfaq VIDEO HELPED MORE THAN YOU'LL FIRED UP THE MOTOR AND RECEIVED MULTIPLE YELLOW ERROR MESSAGES EVERYTHING FROM EMISSION SYSTEMS, PROBLEM, TRANSMISSION, SYSTEM, PROBLEM. Contacted AEM and they really had no suggestions. Did more research online. Discovered the electrical system had to be reset. I disconnected the negative ground from the battery. Waited about 30 seconds. Reconnected the system and everything worked fine and has worked fine sense. Have to tell you I was pretty freaking out, but thank God for KZfaq.

I have a 2020 Honda ridgeline and you're really making me want to get a magnaflow exhaust & AEM filter! Great video.

I recently replaced my 2017 Honda Ridgeline 3.5L V6 with a new 2022 model and installed the 21-795C AEM Cold Air Intake from my old 2017. I followed the AEM installation instructions just as before, disconnecting the battery’s negative ground and so on… Everything was fine for a few days vehicle ran as expected and then received an ECM code “Emissions System Problem” and “AWD System Problem”. Since the vehicle only has 1,200 miles and under warranty I took it to my Honda Dealer for diagnosis. The Honda technician found the following: CODES Confirmed by Honda Dealer Tech - Live Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs): 1. P0171 (Fuel System Bank1 Too Lean) and 2. P0174 (Fuel System Bank2 Too Lean). The technician also checked the MAF Sensor, fuel flow/pressure and they tested fine. The SOURCE of the codes blamed on my installed 21-795C AEM Cold Air Induction which worked fine for 5 years on my old 2017 Ridgeline 3.5L V6. Honda Dealer Tech reinstalled my OEM air box and readings went back to normal, no codes.

@keng888 Жыл бұрын

I wouldn’t be surprised that the codes flagged because the factory airbox is rather small and with the new CAI, a lot more air is going thru the MAF and may cause the engine to run lean. The ECU may need to be recalibrated with the new CAI.

I know the Pilots have it but there should be a small opening down by the fog lights. There is a inlet tube going from there to the filter.

I’m curious-any trouble codes after the install. I did the exact intake for my wife’s ‘21 Pilot. Within 10mins I got trouble codes. And before anyone asks, yes, I installed correctly. I’m an experienced mechanic in both civilian and military as well as aerospace technology. I decided to throw the stock back in after being so frustrated.

I have a 2019 Ridgeline. I just pulled my AEM CAI off and put the stock back on. I was getting a P0400 EGR code. AEM said that a CAI wouldn't throw that code. But I have 25,000 miles on my truck and never had a code until I put their CAI on. So I'm going to say BS on their statement. It's ashame too because it does sound good. Just not worth clearing codes out.

Sorry dont have answer. At least drive for a day or 2, after some miles it often goes away. if the truck was turned on when mass airflow sensor was disconnected you could get some type of error code. If all fails disconnect battery for a min and see if it resets after some miles.

@@jasonin2details I called AEM and they said that my car might be tuned differently and it makes sense since the ECM is programmed specifically for California emission standards. They even offered to test my vehicle here locally to figure out an exact issue. I love this thing, love to hear the sound but it’s not worth the trouble of constantly clearing codes. I’m hoping my contributions will help others, more to come. I have a follow up with AEM on Monday.
