I hope you get some consideration from Honda. But, if not, try your local independent mechanic now that you know what is needed. Also, purchase the parts online and find a mechanic who will charge labor only. I know most don't like that idea because they make money from parts as well, but you may be lucky to find someone who is willing to do it. Replacing parts is not sophisticated, just a chore that I refused to do. One time I did find a guy who replaced an alternator in my BMW. The total cost was about 1/3 of what the dealer wanted.

Yeah absolutely - if Honda does not issue the warranty extensions (or whatever else consideration they give), I will shop around.

Agree with wasserball. To add to his suggestions...if you go the independent mechanic route, get their opinion about the fuel rail and fuel line. I doubt those parts are necessary.

How did this finally resolve?

Did Honda comp the parts?

What if anything did you have to pay?

I've had this problem, and have seen it discussed on multiple forums. I've seen a lot of people reporting having replaced their fuel injectors or alternators. Hate to tell you this, but there was nothing wrong with my car. I figured that it had to be a problem with the warning system, how could the check engine light, the power steering fail light and the low tire pressure light be indicative of a single problem? So, I rebooted the system; specifically, I disconnected the battery for about 60 seconds, reconnected it and reset the clock. Problem fixed, no problems for the last three months.

Just wait. If you have a 2015-16 GK, your injectors will fail.

Well, I sure hope you're wrong. The problem started with the low tire pressure light; tire pressures were fine, though. Then about two days later, the tire pressure, check engine and tracking lights came on simultaneously; the next morning the power steering light came on with the other three. Car drove fine, though. Disconnected the battery, problem fixed. Now we're three months and about 1200 miles later, still no inkling of a problem. By the way, car has about 85,000 miles on it. It's hard to believe that the first sign of failing injectors would be a false tire pressure warning light.

Sure hope you're wrong. No offense, of course.

No offense taken at all. I hope I'm wrong also!

I'm calling into Honda customer relations now - I'll see what they say.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Cool Kwanzaa, and a healthy, prosperous new year to you and everyone on this forum!
I'm new to the forum so apologies if I have responded incorrectly to this thread. Purchased me 2017 Fit used about 1.5 years ago. Now has approximately 40,000 miles on it and I just got the same warning lights. Did Honda acknowledge fault? Has the issue returned after replacing fuel injectors?

Few weeks ago this happened to me. I think four warning signs came on. I have an extended warranty which I think is 70,000 miles or 7 years whichever comes first. Yes, they had to replace the injectors. When I asked why all the warning lights they said something like it just throws the warning lights into wack. Since I'm just now reading about this here, they never mentioned it was a common problem but they did cover it under warranty but I had to pay the $50 deductible. Mine is a 2015 with about 57,000 miles. Other than that, I still really like my manual Fit and don't plan on getting something else. Seems all cars have their faults.

Yes. Dealership just called. It’s the fuel injectors. Will inquire further when I pick up Swhonda (small white Honda).

Hi Ryan - any update on this? My daughter just purchased a 2015 Honda Fit with less than 15k miles on it and her tire pressure light went on a couple of weeks ago after replacing tires (no issue with pressure, I checked) and today traction control light went on and stayed on. Any word on whether Honda is covering any of this? Rough year for the kid - she hit a deer that jumped a guard rail a few months back, bought this Honda fit, had for less than a week and someone backed into her back door while parked in front of our house and took off and now this.

The tire pressure light came on because the new tires are larger in diameter (since they aren't worn down) than the ones they replaced. Just have to reset the system through the center display. This one is normal as there are no actual sensors determining the pressure. Only the ECU using the wheel speed sensors to see if there's a diameter change.

Traction control uses those same sensors. She may have a wheel speed sensor issue.

Same thing happened to me, it was snowing around my area and I had disabled traction and stability then was having some fun and the three lights popped up, went to the part store and got a code for bank 1 too rich. Cleared the codes, cleaned the maf, and that was that. No more problems.

Thank you for the quick response! Holy cow - I had no idea it wasn't an actual sensor that threw up that light. I was dreading having that conversation. Thanks again!
