Can anyone tell me where the Power Steering fluid reservoir is? If there is one? I did an oil/filter change along with the trans fluid and I bought a bottle of Honda Power steering fluid thinking I would suck out the old and refill with new fluid but cant find the darn thing. Thanks

Like virtually all new vehicles made in the last decade, 2017-current Ridgelines have electric power steering - there's no fluid, hoses, or pump.

You need to exchange that bottle Honda power steering fluid for a bottle of Honda HGO-1 gear oil for the transfer assembly which gets changed when the transmission fluid is changed (when code 3 appears along with codes A1 or B1 on the Maintenance Minder).

I could be wrong but I believe the 2017- Present Ridgeline has Electric Power Steering

OK I found in this forum that there is no power steering fluid reservoir, it's electric, right? I'm learning slowly but surely.

That's correct - like the vast majority of automobiles manufactured over the past decade, the Ridgeline uses a maintenance-free electric motor to provide steering assist rather than a hydraulic pump.
