2020 civic. Drove over a small pot hole, and next time I start my car all the problems and lights pop up on the dash saying problems with parking brake, brake hold, abs, acc system, and a few others. Brake stays locked up and the car won't crank over.

Stuck handbrake

Honda Civic 2017 1.8 100000 miles
The handbrake light continues to be on in the dashboard; when applying the handbrake, it gets stuck or does not release while the terminals are taken off the battery. No problem with the actuator.

Stalls in high revolution ranges SolvedSolved

Honda Civic 2000  250000 miles
My car stalls out of the blue, almost every day. The curious thing about it is that since I've bought it, the check engine light has been turned on, and when it fails this light turns off, just as if the computer was reset for some minutes. When the vehicle stalls, I open the switch and check whether all the lights are on, the only case in which the car starts again. Many times it happens that I open the switch and all the lights but the check engine one are turned on, and then the engine won't start. The scanner has been connected but no code is released (only the ABS code and the Catalytic converter one). Hope someone can help me, thanks.

sylvester from United States 11 years ago
If the check engine light is on it means that there is some sensor which is damaged, but apparently not causing any failure in your vehicle. On the other hand, if it is off it means that the computer is not opening and thus not sending either spark nor fuel. This failure is not provided by the scanner. Now, as the computer recibes a signal from a fuse and has got a relay, you should first check this two things. After doing so, you should take out the computer and try with a different one.
erna from United States 11 years ago
Thanks, sylvester, it is just as you describe it. It seems as though the problem was the computer. It has been scanned, the computer feeding checked and apparently everything is now ok. I really don't know which was the exact solution, but it has not failed again. Thank you so much.

Take it to the dealership for a quick check maybe an oil change and they should be able to reset and check if it was giving false codes to show check engines lights on, sometimes it's just the gas cap wasn't turned past three clicks.
Tess from United States a year ago
The gas cap doesn't click. There is no cap. All warning lights on, I've replaced battery, inflated and reset tire pressure, changed the oil and oil filter, changed the O2 sensors (because the scanner said it was running too rich) and the lights stayed off for a week and are now back!! What do I do?

Stop lamps problem

Can anybody tell me why the stop lamps do not turn on when I press the brake? Is it a fuse, a sensor or anything in the brake itself? Thanks

Multiple Error Lights on Start up

Honda Civic 2015  140000 miles
Car starts no problem, but getting the following error lights on start up after the initial lights go dark... TPMS, ABS, VSA, Hill Assist, Power Steering. For the longest time no problems have been detected with any of these systems, until recently, I found that there was a problem a few minutes after startup that the hill assist system would kick on... regardless of the fact that I live in FL where there are no real hills. Putting the vehicle in park and/or engaging the parking break resolves the problem, and then it doesn't reoccur. Attempted replacing the fuse according to the fuse b… Read complete

So this recently started to happen to my vehicle as well. I've been searching for every possible solution, however no one seems to have a definite answer. Did you find the solution for your Honda?? 🤞🏼 I have a theory but i haven't been able to test it out due to my vehicles certain circumstance, temporarily.
JimmyBoah from United States 2 years ago
Negative, the issue persists. In addition, now I'm seeing functional issues like the hill assist system starting at random.

Tail Lights

Honda Civic 2013 LX 422000 miles
My brake lights work when they are compressed. But my tail lights are not working. I have no lights at night in the back unless I tap the brakes. Also, the interior light and headlight stay dim even on the brightest! Just got this car & fixing it up for my new driver. I have changed fuses and bulbs, AutoZone mentioned replacing the switch?.

Honda Civic 2018 EPB Malfunction

Honda Civic 2018 1.8 80000 miles
Hi everyone, I recently purchased Civic 10th Generation 2018 and experiencing EPB malfunction. While engaging or disengaging EPB, sometime it works fine and sometime malfunctioned. Malfunction go away only when I switch off and restart car. In malfunction state either engaging or disengaging EPB, parking brake light start blinking while another yellow error light below the parking brake light turns on. Another noticeable thing is the unusual noise of left EPB motors. Noise of right motor fades away as usual while left motor keep struggling loner than the right motor and sometime it works very fine. Whenever it struggle, this malfunction appear. Any group member who experienced the same issue, please help and guide.

I-Shift fault

Honda Civic 2007 Hatchback 1.8 petrol, semi-automatic  142000 miles
Car was driving fine and then the i-Shift fault came up, lost all power and car went into Neutral. Unable to shift into drive. After 4hrs and a drained battery, jump started the car and fault cleared. Managed to drive it for 3 minutes, then same i-Shift fault came up.
The next day, tried topping up brake and transmission fluid, cleared the fault drove for 30 seconds and i-Shift came back, then the PGM-FI fault. Car will turn on but engine won't turn on. What could be the cause, and any possible fixes?
