My Honda city not able to start the engine since this morning . Even push start few times also the same.

The dashboard indicators showing two icon lights up as show in picture . Anyone know what's happening ? Tq

New Update 11/6/17: just got it fixed by changing new battery. The previous battery was in low voltage. Only 2 months old already like that . The original battery named FB. Honda should pay more attention on QC

Bro Press the brake hard n push the button

Ya u are right .. engine started after I tried push start several times . Will go Honda SC tomorrow. Not sure tomorrow Sunday they willing to serve me or not . I planning to go Glenmarie .

Ya I thought that too. But no matter how hard I tried also cannot start . Sien

I not sure whether it's battery issue or not.
Ya I put P also cannot start .. strange ... only 2 months car . Bad luck

it is depend on how u describe the issue to them .I changed my car battery on Saturday when the issue arise ,and they do not believe it is due to starter issue .

the same problem on Sunday and they processed the warranty claim for starter...need to wait for 1week for that part .

mine at setia alam Honda

So the culprit is starter ??
Are You having similar issue as mine?

most probably urs starter issue ...

unless u always short distance trip ...

Ok noted. Thanks for ur feedback

Update: just got it fixed by changing new battery. The previous battery is low voltage. Only 2 months old already like that .

I highly recommend you toget a OCB2 adapter for your car. It helps you to troubleshoot such problems

I learned that from my Fiesta when it gave me all sorts of weird indicator that it's not working. Upon plugging in my OCB2 adapter and connected it to my phone .The battery was at 9V

May I know how much and where to purchase that adaptor?

my mil honda city battery also died after 2 or 3 months butying just recently. Read in facebook also some of my friends having the same battery issue. we need to escalate this issue to honda. seems systemic

Looks like the battery power is weak... Button start type ignition won't allow to crank the engine if the battery power is weak/low. Unlike the key pushing ignition type(mechinical type), U can still attempt to crank even the battery power is weak/low.

BTW, the Honda is farking stingy(should I say shitty cost down)... only 1 ground/earth cable on the battery connection. Unlike the rest of Jap Car manufacturer which offer 2 ground/earth cables(1 to body & 1 to engine) battery connection.

Goodluck to those 6 years+ Honda city users, you will experience the symptom
slow cranking during start up the engine due to cable oxidized(heat built up due to high resistance).

the battery cable so expensive that 6yrs old Honda car owner not afford to replace ? LOL ...push start also can crank ,who tell u cannot crank ..? aiyo ...i tried before la..

Why don't you go and look at other Jap brands car battery connections.
It should be 2 cable connections on the negative pole. 1 to engine, 1 to body.

Most of the car user never look into this til it caused problem on starting the engine.
Some still experiencing slow cranking after replaced a new battery.

It can be Quite annoying if 1st attempt cranking failure. I can't imagine what will happen in coming 5 years.

Dont worry, most of new car (lesser than 6 yrs)engine starting issue is battery related.

Here , its around RM 70. Pretty neat if you want to know how the inside of your car functions and what are the engine error codes for

Same goes to me. My City facelift 5 months battery weak. All the indicators appeared like a christmas tree and another 2 seconds it shown exactly like yours. How laaa..

99% battery issue.
Try start in few attempts and it should be able to start.

Then quickly drive to Honda Service Centre to get battery replacement. Good luck!

My Honda City model 2014 GM6 (smartkey) also happen like this.. Original Battery is YOKOHAMA then replace with Fujikura Battery by Service Centre for free.. Then less than a year, i start suffer dificulty to start.. I change new battery BOSCH, then after 1 week.. My car totally breakdown and cannot start at all... Towing to nearest Service Centre... They replace the starter which cost around rm1k for free bcoz still under warranty..

I think nowadays battery can't last long.. 2 years is maximum already.. 2-3 months is seriously bad..
Try Amaron brand from india, my sister suzuki alto battery last until now 7 years already.. the alto is CBU from india, so its using maintenance free type battery brand Amaron..

Next time better get Century Ultramax battery. It has 20 months warranty and a high CCA rating.

I've been using Panasonic battery (NS40ZL) for 2 years and it is still working. I swap to Ultramax soon.

will it void the warranty if i plug this into my car? honda city 2017
