What causes a Honda to fail to start when the brake system is checked?
2 Answers
Honda's failure to start when the brake system is checked is due to an abnormal air-fuel mixture in the car. Taking the Honda Accord as an example, here are the specific details of the Honda Accord: 1. Vehicle positioning: The Honda Accord is a mid-size sedan under GAC Honda, available in two versions: fuel-powered and hybrid. The dimensions are 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm. 2. Powertrain: The fuel-powered models are equipped with low-power L15BM and high-power L15BN 1.5T turbocharged engines, with maximum power outputs of 130kW and 143kW, and maximum torques of 230Nm and 260Nm, respectively. The hybrid version features a hybrid powertrain consisting of a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and an electric motor. 3. Chassis: The front and rear suspensions are MacPherson independent suspension and multi-link independent suspension, paired with a front-wheel-drive layout.
I've encountered this situation before, and it's really frustrating when a Honda won't start! First, check if the battery is dead—low voltage is the most common cause. Then, inspect the starter motor and listen for a clicking sound when trying to start. Fuel system issues could also be the culprit, like a faulty fuel pump or a clogged fuel filter preventing proper fuel delivery. Don’t forget the ignition system—spark plugs with too much carbon buildup might fail to ignite. If there’s a brake system warning, the brake light switch could be faulty. Honda cars require the brake to be pressed to start, so a broken switch will prevent ignition. Lastly, don’t overlook the crankshaft position sensor—if it fails, the ECU won’t allow ignition, though this is relatively rare.
