Honda Brio Fault Code

I'm experiencing an issue with my 2014 Honda Brio, gasoline engine. The car has done 132390 km. I keep getting a fault code, accompanied by an error message on the infotainment system and the speedometer. I've tried checking the battery and fuses, but no luck. Could this be a serious problem?

Summary of the thread

A 2014 Honda Brio with 132,390 km was experiencing a fault code and error messages on the infotainment system and speedometer. The issue was identified as a potential misconfiguration in the car's control modules, specifically related to the vehicle's main computer. The suggested solution was to have the car diagnosed and recoded by a professional workshop, as this is not typically a DIY fix. After taking the car to a workshop, the incorrect coding was corrected, resolving the error messages.

Hey there! I also drive a Honda Brio. I recall having similar issues a while back. Did you try reading the fault code using a diagnostic scanner? It could be related to a misconfiguration in one of the car's control modules. When the car's computer (also called ECU) is not correctly configured, it can lead to all sorts of error messages. It is possible that the car needs new coding. Have you noticed anything else unusual, like performance issues?

Thank you for your reply! I did use a diagnostic scanner, and it returned a generic fault code related to the vehicle's main computer. However, I'm not entirely sure how to interpret it. You mentioned 'misconfiguration' and 'coding'. Could you please elaborate on what that means and whether it's something I can fix myself? Does that require a reset of the codes?

Okay, so a generic fault code and error messages in multiple places strongly suggests a coding issue. Basically, modern cars have lots of small computers (control modules) that communicate with each other. They all need to be programmed correctly to work together. If the coding is off, or gets corrupted, it can throw errors like the ones you're seeing. Unfortunately, this isn't usually a DIY fix unless you have specialized software and knowledge. I'd recommend taking it to a trusted workshop; they'll have the tools to diagnose and recode the affected module. It could be something as simple as needing a software refresh.

I appreciate your help and advice. I took my Brio to the workshop, and it turned out the car's main computer had incorrect coding, just as you suspected. The repair cost me 360€ to recode it, but at least the error messages are gone now! Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
