It's right under the aluminum thermostat housing on top of the transmission. It's a bit hard to see. You'll probably need a flashlight.Where under the hood is it?

Thanks!It's right under the aluminum thermostat housing on top of the transmission. It's a bit hard to see. You'll probably need a flashlight.
You can get to it without removing the plastic air intake but it is a little tight.Where under the hood is it?
Might be a good idea to check rear diff., breather cap on a AWD too when changing rear diff., fuild.
Have seen them plug on trucks.
The Honda part numbers are the same on 2017 & 2020 listings, if that helps. (Of course, the # could have been updated.)Does anyone know if vent plug was modified in 2018?
Thanks so much for confirming.I had to go out to the garage to confirm!
The small rubber CVT trans vent is directly under the 2 radiator hoses coming from the thermostat housing.
Using my right hand fingers, I can pop off the trans vent going from blue arrow side of your picture.
It is awkward but not hard. I have big hands and long fingers so that could be a factor.
Putting it on is actually easier IMO.
If you still can't get it, the air intake pipe from the rad support to the air intake box is easily removed.
2 push pins on the rad support.
The lower intake air resonator is removed on our HRV but that is not a factor.
It's the black plastic assembly below and forward of the rad hoses.
I hope this helps. It is important to regularly check and clean that CVT trans vent cap.
May I ask why your air intake resonator is removed from your HRV?
Although I have small hands, my fingers are too short to reach the trans vent. I went the extra mile to remove the plastic air intake and although it required some extra steps, it was definitely worth it. I have a push pin remover which made it much easier to remove the assembly, along with loosening the two 10mm bolt heads without removing them, to allow upward movement on the air filter housing. My 2016 HR-V vent has 35K miles on it and it was plugged but easy to clean. I just used a paper towel to remove the outer layer, then a paper clip to push the dirt out of the hole. I blew through it to make sure it was clear and then for extra measure - probably not necessary - I sprayed some silicone spray through it.I had to go out to the garage to confirm!
