Honda Fit - Brake, ABS, tire, VSA lights on

HI Everyone,
I just got a used 2019 Honda Fit with 10,000 miles.
Doing great then overnight multiple warning lights lit up.
First- Brake light (thought the emergency brake is off), ABS, and VSA light are on. Tire pressure light is blinking
Next, a minute or two later- tire pressure light goes solid and electric power steering light is now on.

This sequence happens everytime I start the car. I get to drive around with all these lights on.

Tires are good, brake fluid is full, drives normally best I can tell, brakes fine.

Any suggestions on what could be wrong?

I had a 2017 civic with that same issue. I reset all codes with my scanner and it never came back. Then I sold the car lol

detsai, I'm not sure what might be going on, but a 2019 with 10,000 miles is still covered under Honda's Basic 3 year / 36,000 mile warranty. The warranty travels with the VIN, and you should be able to bring it to a local dealership for diagnosis and correction at no charge. Just be sure they're following CDC guidelines and take the proper precautions to keep yourself safe. We've found the dealerships to be on top of their game with proper protocols around Philadelphia (both Honda and the wife's Subaru dealership).

Not trying to discourage DYI or learning from others' experience/solutions (one of the reasons I read here, even though I'm under warranty), and not sure if a dealership visit would be practical for you, just wanted to put out another possible option!
Fit On!

Honda Standard Warranty
This Honda Bumper-to-Bumper warranty guarantee is good for 3 years or 36,000 driven miles on the car, whichever comes first. One of the best things about the Honda standard warranty is that it stays with the car, if you transfer ownership during the factory warranty period, the warranty will still be valid. If you purchase a used Honda that is less than 3 years old and has fewer than 36,000 miles on it, the warranty will still be valid from the original purchase time.

Sorry forgot to mention. This is a salvage car so it was fixed. So the warranty is void for most items. Darn......

I'll try to wipe the warnings......

My civic was a salvage title.
Clear the codes. It will go away.

I drove this for 3 weeks after I bought it before the lights went on. If the codes were there before shouldn't they have set off the lights 3 weeks ago?

If your lights are still on, disconnect the battery for 5 or 10 minutes. They will probably go away. I had these lights come on when I drained the battery. Could this be what happened in your case?

figured it out

Hi Everyone,
Figured it out.
This was a salvage car that got hit in the front passenger side. Brought it into honda. They found out the right fog light was not original and was sliced into the turn signal light and the connection was bad. That's why the turn signal was not working well. In addition, someone had tried to fix the wiring (Assumed damaged in the crash) and just tied wired together and they had just worked themselves apart. So the connection to the right front ABS was broken. That's why all sorts of brake and tired lights went off at the same time.

Fixed......

Glad ya got it sorted...iirc, folks that have had bunch of warning lights on simultaneously had to have fuel injectors replaced, a pricey proposition,,, I check my dash constantly in a paranoid fashion Driving a Certified Pre-Owned ‘15 LX here with about 67000 miles on it. Absolutely love this car ... would have preferred a different color, but black was the only manual trans they had...and I only wanted the stick, so black it is.
