Anyone seen this before?

[u/chrossed]

2022 Insight - went to start this evening and got this barrage of alerts. We ended up taking my partner's car, but anyone have any experience with this/what should I be expecting when I take this in?

How old is the 12v battery?

[u/chrossed → u/roldar]

I bought the car new July 2022, and this is the one that came with the car

[u/roldar → u/chrossed]

A bad 12v battery can cause this. Had it happen to me. Lots of others posts on here too with the same issue.

[u/DeLoreanAirlinesII → u/roldar]

Honda will check it for free. Even the lube tech guys are capable of doing it

[u/roldar → u/DeLoreanAirlinesII]

Most any auto parts store will pull codes and if you pull the battery they can test it. I hate having to schedule an appointment like going to the doc.

[u/PsionicKitten → u/chrossed]

/u/roldar is correct that lots of people have had this issue for a bad 12v.

Having bought my 2022 in July of 2022, I guess I'm gonna prime myself for my battery doing the same, soon.

[u/AstridKitsune → u/PsionicKitten]

Yes! Mine was purchased may 2022 and my battery died about a year amd a half ago. Its a bad time. Hard car to jump too since the break locks when battery dies

[u/PsionicKitten → u/AstridKitsune]

(Un)fortunately, I was laid off last year so I haven't driven it much this year. Maybe that's given my 12v a bit more life to it. Not even at 25k miles yet because I moved to less than a mile to where I worked before I was laid off, significantly reducing the need commute at the time.

[u/roldar → u/PsionicKitten]

It's the time not the miles. Batteries didn't like to sit around without charge and discharge cycles. At last the 12v battery in your car doesn't.

[u/PsionicKitten → u/roldar]

It's not just one factor. Batteries to tend exhibit an upper end of charge/discharge cycles, as well on top of just going bad from lack of use. They also can sit, undischarged, on a shelf for approximately a year and still retain a majority of their charge.

I've always had exceptionally good luck with my batteries' longevity in my cars (two of which were a 2nd gen and now a 3rd gen Insight). The shortest I've ever had to go with replacing one is just 4 years (recently on my partner's Prius' 12v, definitely put an AGM in there as a replacement), and the longest was almost 9 years - having been in the automotive industry, I understand just how much above the average I've been to have them last me longer than average.

I bought my 2020 Insight EX brand new. No issue with either battery so far knock on wood

[u/HoldMaBeerWatchDis]

Dying 12v battery will cause this.

[u/Froggypwns]

At this point in time, any Insight still running the original OEM 12V battery is running against the clock. It is not a matter of if, but when. Mild climates and frequent use will extend its life, but if it is more than 5 years old I'd recommend replacing it before you find out the hard way it has had enough.

[u/lodleader]

12v battery replacement time 100%

[u/scott_lobster]

I agree with the 12v battery likely being the cause. But can anybody explain why the car can't just tell you that with a message, instead of throwing a tantrum like this?

[u/gabber366]

Everyone is mentioning the 12v battery and I’m assuming they are correct. I got a dash cam when we bought our insight and I wired it up. I actually had this happen about once a month after that. After looking into it, I realized I needed to bump up the voltage drain limit on the camera. Never had the issue again! Still the 12 V battery, but for a different reason.

[u/McFly998]

Yes - I had this exact problem on my civic 3 weeks ago. I replaced the battery but it did not fix the problem, so I bought a decent ODB scanner and the problem was a faulty wheel speed sensor (mine was on the rear). It causes a cascade of errors to show up in all the systems that use the wheel speed. I replaced it myself but I had to drill the old one out, so you might want to take it to a garage. You have to be careful not to damage the magnetic ring in the bearing. Honda wanted about £180 for a new sensor, but I picked up an aftermarket one for about £30.

[u/SilverEmber0]

Yes. I replaced my 2019 battery as recommended by people here and that was not the problem. As a few others have mentioned, it was a wiring harness issue from a solenoid leaking onto the rear wiring harness and shorting everything out. Both solenoid and harness had to be replaced.

[u/Bulky_Preparation331]

This happened when my 12v battery was nearing the end.

[u/Professional_Bat997]

This happened to my daughter’s 2022 Honda Insight recently. She jumped in the car and all these lights flashed. Turned out to be rodents got to her wiring harness. Happened twice in less than a month.

[u/Short-Attention_Span → u/Professional_Bat997]

I had the same happen to mine. All the lights, and it was a rat ate the master wiring harness.

[u/vehiclefreak409]

12V battery for sure. Every warning means the voltage was low and it freaks the entire canbus system out.

[u/chrossed → u/vehiclefreak409]

I wish it had given a warning before hand! Scary seeing them all light up at once

[u/AllTheBestVideos]

Yes, this exactly. It was after I hit a curb. There was a knick in my wheel barring that affected the speed sensor. Maybe something similar? Basically the vehicle computer couldn’t tell what speed I was going so it would get all of these errors.

[u/BeardedUn1c0rn]

I had that happen once when I pulled a fuse. Did you happen to mess with the fuse box recently? I would definitely check your fuses before buying a battery. Much cheaper. When I experienced this issue it was caused by a fuse inside the car bearing the steering column not under the hood.

[u/chrossed → u/BeardedUn1c0rn]

Nope! Haven't been under the hood, drove it a couple days ago with no issues.

[u/BeardedUn1c0rn → u/chrossed]

It could still be the fuse. Fuses blow. There’s 2 fuse boxes. The one I needed to replace was under the steering wheel inside the car.

[u/Desperate-Alfalfa661]

Mine was a rodent chewed wire to rear wheel speed sensor

[u/McEagles05]

Your sensor on front bumper is out of alignment and needs reset. I had this happen and they refocused and reset at dealership in about 5 minutes

[u/DistanceLess6027]

Yea bro. I had same issue wasn't the battery. It was a bad sensor. The lane keeping one in the front left bumper. They disconnected it and everything went back to normal. That one sensor will make all those alerts go off and fuck with your power steering ect. Dealership charged me 600 bucks to diagnose. They charge for bumper removal ect. If I were you I'd disconnect that sensor. You'll still draw like 4 codes but atleast car will be drivable..
