This is my biggest pet peeve in my cars. No eating anything! I don't even like putting take out in my car because of the residual smell. When I have to I open a window if possible or put it in the trunk. No drinks either, except bottled water. That's why my cars still smell almost new years later.
I took my car to Honda service for this same issue. I was told the parking brake switch needs to be changed after they changed it the light still was on and then was told it is contaminated with liquid and it’s a $4,200 fix 😳 thanks for this video
@@brianacerda26 I just cleaned around the parking brake button took some canned air and blew it out, and stopped spilling coffee in that area ha ha. Worked For me. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the video but I pretty much did exactly what it suggested. Good luck
Ok, from the title I was already thinking that it was spilled coffee or soda that cause the issue. Then 5 second in and that shot of the parking break area confirmed what I already knew. No way Honda would skimp on parking break stuff. User error.
I am meticulous with keeping my bought new 2018 Civic EX-T (94,300 miles) clean. I never eat in the car and I’ve never spilled anything. Yesterday, (Dec 30 2021) I got the Electronic Parking Brake message. I use the parking brake ALL the time before releasing the regular brake when in Park. The parking brake switch was stuck. The next day, the message cleared and the brake switch became unstuck after I attempted to reengage the switch. So far, after driving all day and using the parking break twice, there has been no further issue.
First off thank you for treating your car with extra care, that’s rare now a days. With that being said it can still fail from normal use especially if used daily like yourself. Sounds like it might be mechanically binding, perhaps some of the plastic inside is starting to break. Keep an eye on it but it’s mechanically binding it’s most likely going to fail sooner rather then later
@@BCautosolutions Yes, I figure this will become an issue. If I experience it again, I’ll take it in to my Honda service for diagnosis. I miss the old fashioned mechanical parking break. Those usually lasted for the life of the car. Now everything is electronic and prone to fail. When I bought the car, I had the dealership find a Civic without any of the Honda Sensing nonsense as I know that the electronics are often the first things to fail considering how reliable the Honda engines are. I love this particular 10th gen Civic. So far, I’m very happy with it and hope to get at least 300,000 miles.
@@txmoney yeah unfortunately that’s just the way tech trend is going, your right electrical stuff is more problematic and typically more expensive to replace as well. Best of luck and thanks for watching
I keep mine exceptionally clean also, but have now experienced the Electronic Parking Brake error message. At the same time, I noticed my phone wouldn't automatically connect to the apps on my display....so I'm thinking it's an electrical rather than a mechanical problem. I was going to take it into the honda dealer and they mentioned it would cost $170 just to look at it, wtf. Bad customer care on Honda's part.
Funny look on most of the reviews on youtube when they introduced the new car new model.top 5 flaws they all said was placement of that switch next to cupholder saying it will malfunction when to close to the cup holders. Accidents happen but when predicted before the product was set out for sale.hopefully they change the position and find a new spot.im also happy I stuck with what I know as a older mechanic I always had older cars till I got my 2020 pilot I stayed away from the touring/elite/black edition.staying with the traditional ebrake and 6spd transmission.i hate the electronic ebrake.just more things to brake and malfunction.my friend has trouble using his in the winter in his honda it freezes up and keeps going after you hit the button.only happens after a late night freeze up.and is fine all yr till it's slush and snow with a deep freeze
So i know you are stating what this issue is caused by but that being said is it just cleaning of food residue that corrects this or new switch replacement that is needed?
I spilled a drink on this exact area and both break and break system light is on. Assuming a liquid hit and defected the switch. Is this an easy fix if I can order the part? If so I have no idea on how to change it.
Can you make a videos on the whole replacement process I’m currently dealing with this issue now. Don’t wanna spend thousands of dollars if it’s a simple job
it happened to me but instead of replacing it i opened it up, used electronic parts cleaner to clean it and put it back together. Worked completely fine afterwards, all for $5.
@@talhameher696 seems like you had a mild case but glad it worked out for ya. As a tech I wouldn’t go that route in the event it wouldn’t fix it I would get the “you told me this would fix it, I’m not paying extra for the part now” been there done that. People don’t want to be resonable most times and anytime I try to save someone a couple of bucks it ends up backfiring on me.
That was always the biggest fear in my 18 Tlx A s spec that I would spill my drink or coffee either through the gear shifter or electric brake. But all those crumbs in that car will never be a problem in mine, I keep it super clean inside & out
How did you fix it bro? Did you have to take it apart? I’ve been looking for videos about how to disassemble it because the same thing happened to me and neither the parking break or the brake hold button works
Yes you have to replace it. On the accord you have to take out the 2 side pads where your knee would hit, then you open the arm rest and start lifting on the center console trim from there. I believe there’s some Phillips screws towards the front once you remove the knee pad trim. Just lift from the back and pull gently until you see what’s holding it down. Once center console insert is out it’s got a bunch of philips holding button assembly to the console insert. Next one I get I’ll do full video 👍🏻
@@BCautosolutions that is not the only reason that thing messes up I've noticed that it's just messing up when you use the the brake hold in it screws up your car I'd never and I will never suggest anyone use that feature in fact Honda should do way with it because that is the issue it does that without me spilling soda and it's literally because I used the brake hold you know what the Carson tent is for if they can't get it right just do away with the feature
@@BCautosolutions my button moves pretty easy it's just that the feature called that brake hold screws up your car to where it won't go off I tried everything until I waited a few seconds then it worked I turn my car off 3 or 4 times for it to work I highly doubt it's something I did on my car is messed up because like I said maybe all of the cars were made incorrectly but I think it should be recalled in my opinion to fix the issue
@@higurashianduminekoconnect1702 9 out of 10 times it’s liquid damage, of course it can be defective but you have to take that up with your local dealer

DOes it mandatory need to get REPLACED OR is there anyway to FIX it since it just a sensor but there charging a lot !!! OR IS THIS A TECHNIQUE HONDA USING TO GET MONEY ?!?! PLEase LMK B4 take it to DEALER
Yes you have to replace it. The liquid shorts out the circuit in the switch that is not serviceable. His isn’t a technique used to make money, I’m sharing it to help you save money and in no way shape or form is it Honda’s fault that there was liquids dropped on a component. Good luck with it, it’s a pretty simple repair 👍🏻
I had this happened to me , but then it went away but came back now the interior lights don’t come on, nor the trunk lights. Idk if it’s a fuse or the spill.
my problem is kinda the same , but it shows on the dasher that is on, but it really isn’t on . I got my rear brakes change & he said that he reset it & once he was done he tried to put it back to normal but it didn’t want to.
Have you turned off battery to reset The codes? If you have and they don’t clear after a short drive then you will need to get scanned see what the codes are. Lmk how it goes

The problem is people spilling drinks on the switch which I am making people aware to avoid doing any damage to their own cars. This will still happen more times then not. I never said there was a fix for liquid damage or did i? Remember opinions will be opinions!
I spilled a drink about 2 inches on drive mode and e brake area but it’s functioning correctly should I take it in and get it dried or are the new 2023 models equipped with covers inside

Will the switch make the interior lights malfunction as well?
No although I have seen other connectors bunked up causing them to stay on resulting in harness replacements
The fault is not the Honda's. Is the pig that drives the Honda.
Well I can’t disagree there lol
I wonder if they are gonna start selling perhaps plastic covers for those buttons to avoid this issue..
The new buttons are superseded with a skirt/cover around where the connector plugs in.
