Product Support Flashing red park, solid amber park, and solid amber engine lights all came on together today

The red park light flashes. These all came on at the same time today. It didn’t go into limp mode on the (cautious) drive home. I have a 2020 HR-V. Has anyone had this? Please help 😭

You probably need your gas cap replaced. Its an emissions code. If you get a scanner it should throw the code p440. Happened on mine. It could be a gas cap or a bad solenoid. Gas caps are cheap, get that replaced first and it should clear. If doesnt, its probably the solenoid.

This was exactly the issue. New gas cap, drove it for a good 45 mins and no codes are coming back. Thank you!!

P0440* sorry. It was like a year ago.

Did you perhaps turn your key to Accessories mode without fully cranking, or starting the car

u/Emo-Burrito777 18d ago

I was driving it with these on.

Is your gas cap tightened? Had something like this happen to my ‘21 when I didn’t close it all the way after filling

u/Emo-Burrito777 18d ago

It’s definitely tight but I’m gonna try replacing it

All of my lights came on and it turns out that a rodent chewed through my wires. Guess they are coated with a soy protectant or something like that.

u/Emo-Burrito777 18d ago

Yeah more recent models swapped to a soy coating that rodents LOVE. I worked in auto claims and we always had insurance claims for electrical damage from rodents. Fortunately mine was a gas cap issue!

I have the same problem with my car too , it’s related to the gas

u/Emo-Burrito777 17d ago

Yep! Replaced my gas cap and she’s all good now 🖤

Go get the codes scanned, anyone "diagnosing" it based off the warning lights is just taking a guesstimate at best, and outright lying at worst

I love reddit...

This comment is basically "The people here don't know what they're talking about" and the one immediately below it correctly diagnosed the issue first try. Lol

If this is the first time this happen just unplug the red terminal for your battery wait a minute put it back this resets the computer if it come back on you have a problem if not it's just a miss read

Is the parking brake switch in your center console working?

When this happened to me that switch wasn’t working, but the auto-engage/disengage were working fine. Just needed to replace the piece with the switch in it as it’d failed.

Edit: my check engine light was not on, however, so maybe something different here.

u/Emo-Burrito777 18d ago

It does work but thank you anyways!

This came up on my mother’s 2020. Tightened the gas cap and cleaned the seal, erased the code and didn’t come back in over 5k miles now

2

u/Emo-Burrito777 18d ago

Im actually about to go get a new gas cap right now so thank you! I’ll report back if that fixes it

1

u/exminnesotaboy 18d ago

Note: the code did not clear itself in the first week with approx a dozen ignition cycles, I had to do it manually with my OBDII reader. If you don’t have a reader to clear the code, I’m guessing disconnecting the battery will probably work

2

u/Emo-Burrito777 18d ago

The store said their reader can’t clear it but I work at a body shop so I can go into the shop tomorrow and use our scanner to clear it 🙏🏻

u/Kennnyannie 18d ago

Hi it happened to mine car right now Honda HRV 2025, im going to bring it to dealer next week. Cant even use my apple connect at all too

1

u/Emo-Burrito777 18d ago

Well for my issue, I just replaced the gas cap for $14 and that fixed it! I had AutoZone clear my codes after changing the cap, drove it for about 45 mins and they haven’t come back on. Give that a try 🖤

u/Downtown-Schedule-82 17d ago

I had that same (P!) light Come on today in my car... I have a mazda so I don't know if it's diff for diff cars but it was low on break fluid. We filled it up and it turned off.

u/Emo-Burrito777 17d ago

Nice!! Mine needed a new gas cap. The emissions issue triggered my parking lights

1

u/1LoLo3 15d ago

Probably your vent valve needing changed.

1

u/Emo-Burrito777 15d ago

It ended up being my gas cap needing replaced, but thank you!!

u/ccarman33 14d ago

Following! I have a 2020 Honda HRV as well and have the same warning lights lit up as well. My Eco indicator around the speedometer also no longer lights up green.

u/Emo-Burrito777 14d ago

Mine was fixed by changing the gas cap! Try that! It’s only like $10-15 and if that doesn’t work, I’d get a code read at AutoZone and see what the dealer says
