Someone's going to tell you to replace your battery...
Many trouble lights messages . . . .
So the wife just informed me there are some "extra" warning messages and lights on the dash of her 2019 touring (extras ? ? ha ! 
I go out and look .... TPMS, VSA, Hill start, Brake hold, Drive carefully system, Brake system. . . all come on one at a time & repeat.
?? Are these all controled by one module ? ? Which one ? Where ?
Checked the under hood fuse box bus bar . .good, checked under dash fuses . . . good.
Disconnected the battery for 2min . . . still on.
Looks like Honda service Dept
Yep still under warranty ! But what the hell is going on ?

Yep, new battery time. It's been three years this year.So the wife just informed me there are some "extra" warning messages and lights on the dash of her 2019 touring (extras ? ? ha !

1. Zero wrong with battery . . . replace in Feb, JUST load tests fine, charge system is good to go 14.2 vt and uses a maintainer. Starts up with vigor !
2. the trouble screens are only repeating for the ABS / VSA / Brake / TPMS etc systems, over and over. not the whole car or other systems
3. no to the gas cap ? ? <<< not of this model . . . . . . again its seems to be focused on Brakes system related
What module controls all these? Are these a branch of but under the control of the main control board or does ABs module have control ?
Or are they on the same feed line, but have a common relay ? ( i checked the bus and fuses as okay )
OOPZ forgot to get below 150kb . . . . . . just one of six screens that repeat.

And thats why it scheduled for Service @ honda dealer . . . thursday a.m.
Be sure to let us know what the dealer finds.And thats why it scheduled for Service @ honda dealer . . . thursday a.m.
Got a good laugh today . . . and "FIX" didn't cost a dime.
Dealer called and said he had some openings a day early if i wanted, i said, "on the way"
All it took was a control module "reset" function. Service advisor put the reader to the door to read car id bar code. Hooked up a couple wires
under the hood, and found the + post clamp loose ! (he straightened & tightened clamp) Punched in some codes for the reset function.
Waited 30 seconds, shut it off, disconnected and said "All done", and it was all back to normal !
Then we talked to determine what caused this issue. This is the best it gets and it is what it is, I didn't get all the tech jargon.
After I spilled some info and called the wife, Sherlock & Dr Watson put this together. Wife had a quick connect/disconnect installed for the battery tender
last week saturday. The installer some how bent the clamp going to the +battery post. And it made contact for a while, and she got home not knowing.
But Monday a.m. we wash the cars and she decides to "dust" under the hood. While this is in process the dust cloth / shop rag goes over the red battery
terminal cover . . . . . . just enough to knock it loose and the battery disconnects. While I called on phone from dealer she states she remembers
putting it back on and pushing it down . . . . . she didn't think much of it. And she did made a short trip to store and notified me of all the lights on when she
returned that day ( let it go . . it is what it is )
Thus the terminal was off just enough time to trip all the warnings as "due to low / lost voltage" Enfotainment system went out also tripped by the anti theft thing.
So it was a LOW VOLTAGE sensing thing, same signal as if the battery had actually died.
I do like that it was a cheap fix. And Service Advisor said they get a couple of these per month ! He said the give away would have been the
Hill Assist start and Brake hold . . . .
So, yes wife shouldn't touch . . . but it is her car, I'm only allow to touch if it needs something.
The up side is she was/ is an Executive Chef. . . . I'll deal with the trade off
Thanks for all the inputs . . . . . . .
