Honda HRV (2016) Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) Switch Replacement

- If you get an orange parking brake trouble code on your dash with a red flashing P when you drive, I recommend getting the car scanned by A Honda or Acura dealer, or a well-equipped private shop to confirm it’s the EPB switch, then replace the switch as I will show you here. Of course you can gamble and assume it’s the switch, but if the cause is something else, you’re stuck with the part.
I found my HRV stuck in my garage with the parking brake stuck on from the night before. It was showing all the same symptoms you addressed in this video so I ordered the new switch for $20 and was able to get back up and running in no time. Because of this video, you saved me a $100+ tow cost and labor cost from a shop or dealer. Thank you so much for making this.
Hi Tim, sorry you had this issue too, and glad this worked for you. Have a great week ahead!!!
Where did you get your switch from? I'm in the UK and need to try this
Found one on ebay
I just wanna say you are the goat for this video bro. I gambled on your video and ordered the part and fixed it myself. I have a 2016 hrv & Saved alot thanks to you appreciate you !
Hi there, so glad to hear you were able to fix the issue, thanks for your kind words!
I owe you a debt of gratitude. Your video saved me untold amounts of money. Reading the internet, it seems dealerships have difficulty diagnosing the problem, sometimes replacing parts that don't need replacing. OBD scanners do nothing to help diagnose the problem. I can see how it misleads dealerships and others in misdiagnosing the problem. I went so far as disassembling the switch. I thought a good cleaning might help, but it was clean. I checked all the switches. All of them operated properly. One switch has a very flimsy actuator. That's the only possible problem I could see. I didn't expect a new switch would fix the problem, but it was a cheap fix to try, and the alternatives were going to be expensive. I gave it a try, and, presto, problem solved! Much appreciated.
Hi Bert, glad you found the vid helpful! Thx for the message and sharing your findings about the flimsy actuator. Doesn't surprise me given that every car manufacturer is trying to save a buck these days, especially on entry level models.
Thanks for this video! I went ahead and bought a new switch off of Amazon and it worked! Also, when i took it apart there was all kinds of dry coffee exactly like you had on yours. My wife admitted to spilling coffee on the switch a few times 🤦🏽♂️
Hi there, thx for finding the video and glad it helped. It’s not your wife’s fault honestly, or any of our faults. The cup holders are too big and poorly designed without any flexible grips, but then again, this HRV was designed during Honda and Acura’s malaise era.
Hey William, this is Luis from México, I saw your video and this guided me to change the electronic brake, I ordered by Amazon (USD $16), I replaced the damage one and... Now the issue is fixed!!! Previoulsy I went with a Honda dealer to ask the cost of the part and the cost was more than USD$200, this video really helped to me and to my pocket...Really is appreciated...
Many thanks and long live for your social contribution...
Hola, Luis, de nada, amigo! I’m glad this helped. It’s ridiculous how nuch dealers charge, and the HRV is built in Mexico!
I plan to visit your home country one day for vacation. Glad your car is fixed, and hope you have a great night.
I have a 2017 HRV. The other day after I parked my car I pulled the break leaver up and it broke. I found your video and let me tell you that you saved me a lot of money by being able to replace it myself by watching this vid. Thank you!!!
Hi there, sorry to learn your lever broke, and I’m glad the vid helped you! 🙌🏻
Hi there, sorry to learn your lever broke, and I’m glad the vid helped you! 🙌🏻
I was looking for a video on replacing the gear lever light. I couldn't find anything and came across this great footage. Thank you
Hi there, thanks for leaving a message glad it helped. Wishing you a healthy, happy and bright 2024 ahead!
@@forevr_8 Happy New Year!! 🎊🎉🎆🎇
Thank you!! This fixed my problem and saved me hundreds of dollars at the dealership. You're a lifesaver!!
Hi Carly, you’re welcome! Glad to hear it’s all fixed up. ✅
ECM did not throw any codes, but this resolved my issue. Thank you!
Hi William, I am a woman and I have no choice, just go to the shop, and eventually mention that it's maybe a bad switch. I can't do it myself. But your video is very informative. Thank you.
This worked perfectly for my 2018 HRV. Quick and easy install.
Hi Kat, so glad to hear !
What was it
Mine turned on 20 min ago
Appreciate the video, ordered the part and followed this. Parking brake works now and light is off. My code reader also gave the code that said there was an open circuit and then an internal failure on the switch. All good now!
Glad to hear!! To this day, I still hate our cup holders. But my 2016 HRV otherwise has been great.
@@forevr_8 yea haha. I looked at my broken switch and took it apart a bit but couldn’t see anything obviously wrong with it. No spills, just a little dust but all well!
Mines been good too. I did have to replace the ignition button due to crapping out. Easy swap. Car still worked but had an annoying light in the dash.
Again thanks for your video.
My switch went bad on my 2016, thank you for your video
Hi Michael, sorry to hear, but glad this video helped. Wishing you and your HRV a healthy abs happy 2022!
Thank you so much This video was very useful to me, I hope I get more videos of these, they are very helpful, greetings from the city of Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico
Hola Amigo, thank you for your kind message and I’m glad it helped! This car was built in your home country of Mexico 🇲🇽 👌🏻
Thanks a lot for making this video 👍🏼
You’re extremely welcome! Keep your HrV running well and wishing you a happy, healthy year ahead!
Gracias por tu ayuda desde Argentina. very clear explanation, you made us save a lot of money
Glad to hear amigo! Thank you for watching!
Coffee is what killed my switch
Worked on my 2016 hrv THANKS
Hola Beatriz, glad to hear amiga, de nada!!
Great video exactly what was wrong with my wife’s car
Watching from France..Merci beaucoup.Thanks Sir..
Salut, et bienvenue!
Worked at my hrv 2016...helpful video
Thanks indeed, for the post was most helpful. Had the same problem with mine too.
It works man! Thanks. Save me a lot of $$$!!!!
Hi Pete, glad to hear!! Have a great week ahead!
@@forevr_8 Can your share the link where you purchased the spare parking switch?
How much the costs
I bought my switch from a local dealer, but you can try to buy from a website called HondaPartsNow.com
WOW Thanks Mate, I had the same problem. Solved it.
Hi Ammar, glad to hear you were able to fix yours! Have a nice weekend!
Great video, it's gonna save me a load of money thank you 👍 I'm just not sure which model number to get? between 35355-T7A-J02 or 35355T7A- J01?
Hi Phil, thanks very much for d good luck! I say call up your dealer and give them your ViN and have them look it up to determine the right part.
Thanks a lot, this works for me
De nada!
Thanks so much for tour help
De nada!!
excellent video friend, a question what codes did your car give you, mine gives me 3 the c1120-14, U0151-00 AND THE U0401-68 greetings
Is it solved by changing the switch? I have the same code U401-68
Hi guys. I have a 2018 hrv / vezel, and I've got that parking brake flagging also. But I've also got lane departure lights, anti collision lights ets, and I'm getting notices to check my brake system.
I've also got a problem that when I press my brake pedal, my gear lever doesn't release at times, and I may have to wait a bit before the lever is released.
I've also noticed that my radar isn't picking up objects in front of me car. The radar is clean
Could it be the same brake switch also? I've taken my car to a few shops, abs no one has been able to find the problem as yet
Hey bryh i went to mechanic and it gave “electric brake switch circuit malfunction” should i change the switch or is it something else bcoz they charging me $700
Please help
Yikes that’s ridiculous! Yes it’s the switch that’s bad. Follow my instructions to replace and buy the part from your Honda dealer. Just give them your VIN to look up. Good luck
Love you bruh its done honda charged $90 for the part and followed your steps and good to go. Thanks so much for the help
Love it. Glad to hear, and wish you a happy 2023! The button is in a bad spot and it malfunctions likely from coffee spilling on it bc the cup holder is too big and poorly designed. Honda and Acura’s malaise era was from the late 2000s to mid 2010s.
Honda told me it would be 600 to fix the back tail light it was electrical
Hi Carolyn, yes I am aware that some LED taillights burn our prematurely and Honda is ditching customers. I haven't had this issue thankfully. If you are a regular at your dealership, ask if they can cover the part under goodwill, and you pay the labour. Good luck.
How much did the replacement switch cost? Honda charge 300 dollars for it
I bought my replacement from Amazon $29.99.
Great video but I have an issue with this entire electric ebrake design by Honda. I have an Hrv with a 6 speed in it. There's been a couple of occasions that my car battery was dead. Just so happens that both times my car was sitting on a hillside and was unable to disengage it since it had no power going to it. If I could have disengaged it, I could've put it in neutral and popped the clurh to get it to crank. But thanks to Honda's shitty design with this, they prevented me from doing so.
Thx for watching ans sorry to hear how much of a PITA it was for you. Sometimes, electronic everything can be annoying and impractical.
What if both the break light and engine light appear? Could that be a more serious issue?
Hi there, the engine light would point to a different issue and is likely not related to the brakes. Have a technician check for both lights to find thé trouble codes.
I got this today bro and I’m stuck in a parking lot :(
You mean the e-brake is stuck on and won’t disengage? Try to click in your driver seatbelt first, put it into drive, and feather the gas pedal to see if it will release.
@@forevr_8 that worked and freed my car to bring home lol thank you man.
Hi, glad to hear. It probably won’t engage again, but just leave the parking brake alone and get it scanned to make sure it’s the switch first before buying one. Good luck.
@@forevr_8 William I keep posting the link to the part number to see if you can verify but it looks like TH-cam keeps deleting it ?
The one for mine was 77230-T7W-A02ZA but I’m in Canada. It might be a different part# in the USA. I recommend you contact your local dealer, give them your VIN and get the part number specific to your VIN
Where u get the spare ? Can u share the link if purchase on line . Today i checks with OEM they say need to charge me 600 . OMG
Hi there, do you live in North America or in China? I am from Canada so if you are living in Asia, the pricing and part numbers could be different. Let me know
Im from Malaysia
Sorry for the late reply, but because I’m from Canada, part numbers and pricing could be very different in Malaysia. I recommend you check on eBay or alibaba or go to your dealer abs just politely ask if you could get a small discount
@@oni2312 If you are in KL, try to ask from ST Auto. RM 600 is Honda Malaysia's SC Price.
@@oni2312 你好!我的車parking button也一样了卡住了。請问您怎样解决!Rm多少?谢谢你了!

I hear you totally. Sometimes electronics isn’t ideal for all applications. If I had a manual transmission, I too would refer a mechanical e-brake lever
