3rd Generation GK Specific DIY: Repair & Maintenance Sub-ForumThreads discussing repairs and maintenance you can do yourself on the 3rd generation Honda Fit (GK)
2017 Fit. EX. When I turn off the car, this appears on the dash and stays light for a while before turning off. As I push the Start./Stop button to turn off the car, there is a slight buzzing/grinding noise that occurs for 3 or 4 seconds, and this light comes on. It will stay on for a while (an hour or so) and then goes away.
There is a symptom that may or not be related. When I start the car, Sirius does not start and the radio diverts to the FM setting. I've also had the radio do this while driving.
I disconnected my camera system to insure there is no sympathetic battery drain.
Given the short life of the 51R battery, I am going crazy.
Obligatory "have you checked all the fuses?" One of the always-on "memory" circuits could be out, making the head unit reset (try to eject a non-existent CD) every time the ignition is turned off and back on again.
You can drop in the larger 51R battery instead of the stock 151R. Typically the tray does not need modification.
I did this with my '16 LX a few years ago when I lived in the upper midwest and the winters were brutal. The extra CCA of the 51R does make a difference.
