Just replaced the switch on that HR-V. Not a warranty job, so I get to keep the old part should I choose to do so. So I took it apart.
Probably a failure inside one of those black switches since the signal wasn't comprehensible through HDS. And good luck doing a component level repair on one of these. The car in question was a 2019 MY with 32,000 miles.
The same things were said about electric windows, power assisted steering & brakes, central locking, etc.. "Something to break or repair while the old fashioned ones work just fine. A 24" steering wheel gives me all the leverage I need to steer. Automatic transmissions... they waste gas and who is going to fix one of those?" Change is as constant as is the whining for the good old days.
Give me good old vacuum wipers back and I'll take electronic parking brakes. In fact I have them and the Park Hold feature works great in stop and go traffic situations.

There were vacuum wipers on my father's 58 Meteor. As a teenager I got caught having to drive on a mud road during an unexpected rainstorm. Rain and mud (from passing cars) was being thrown onto my windshield and the vacuum wipers couldn't handle it. If I speeded up so that the cars behind me wouldn't pass me the vacuum power would drop and the wipers would stop turning and then I couldn't see out the windshield. If I slowed down so that the wipers would turn the drivers behind me would get furious and start honking their horns and passing me throwing mud onto my windshield. What a nightmare. Worst experience driving ever. F--- vacuum wipers.

Not much there on that board. I do have the experience with component level replacement, even the SMDs, just not the diagnosing capabilities.

Change for the sake of vanity isn't though. This increases cost and decreases parts availability for minute gains. And when it fails, it can lock your brakes on, stranding you. I've seen it happen enough times. It's not worth it.

Check this out regarding those two larger switches.
