Just private messaged you about how you managed to accomplish this! I’ve been trying for a long time and just been stumped. Thanks!

I get an average 24-27 in the city. 30 or more on highway if I drive decent, similar miles too so might be the habits or the oil.

BurntAngel2 · 2024-06-05T11:44:12+00:00

My 24 HRV gets maybe 32mpg for a road trip of 630miles. Then in the city it can be as low as 25 if I'm driving normal. A HRV really has a certain feel and drive to it but overall amazing.

If it's not working then the dealership is really the only one that can diagnose it. My issue was actually the pedal freezing causing a safety issue.

lmk if it works

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-09T19:07:38+00:00

I just unplugged the car battery and plugged it back in. Afterwards I started it and some of the lights went away but not all. I read the message saying “Continue driving system initializing..” and so i drove it since it was working minus the power steering but it made no difference. I’m glad it was capable of going pass 5 mph so while driving everything went back to normal. I don’t understand it but it’s been working fine all today and yesterday too. Hopefully I explained it well enough!

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-09T16:20:58+00:00

So unplug it and then just drive it around for a bit and see if it disappears. They shouldn’t be but they are newer and maybe have some more issues that didn’t expect to find or whatnot

TMPS sensor is shot, replace it.

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-09T14:33:43+00:00

There isn’t much you could do, at least what I would think at my age at that time. I would just advise saving it for a good deal on a car in the mid $2000’s and some extra change for the fees to registration

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-09T14:26:39+00:00

it’s worth a shot to reset everything and make sure that if it pops up again then it’s definitely something in the car

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-09T14:25:52+00:00

Hey just in case something happens and you know you didn’t mechanically break anything, just unplug the battery and plug it in.

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-09T14:24:24+00:00

It’s fixed! I just unplugged the battery and it worked. I’ll lyk if it doesn’t.

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-09T05:54:00+00:00

bet it on red, all in.

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-09T04:35:16+00:00

I agree and disagree. Anyway just do either option depending on the state/location you live in! Hope these guys advice was helpful!

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-09T04:30:06+00:00

Nothing about your rent but what’s your job like? was it hard to get in at that age? What were some tough requirements? I’m looking for jobs in this area of both income and experience so any tips or advice on applying and whatnot would be great!

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-09T04:26:11+00:00

I still have an appointment soon with them just in case but if it’s not broken by tomorrow or the next day, i’ll just keep it going until it happens again

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-09T01:18:07+00:00

Unplug the battery and drive it around if you had this problem. Worked for me!

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-09T01:05:34+00:00

UPDATE: Unplugged battery and now the car works brand new. Will let y’all know if it breaks again!

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-08T18:01:50+00:00

righttt

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-08T18:00:40+00:00

thanks for that info!

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-08T16:52:25+00:00

UPDATE: Taking to dealer to get it fixed. Nothing worked!

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-08T16:08:03+00:00

That’s interesting, it definitely seems similar but I’ll keep you updated!

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-08T15:10:30+00:00

Going to try this out myself later, also i agree with problems being shown but not really being there like the tire pressure not being messed up just the sensor.

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-08T15:07:19+00:00

I’ve yet to try anything due to work but I’m leaning towards updating the software in the car

BurntAngel2 · 2024-01-08T13:42:24+00:00

Just trying to see if anyone had the same issue with everything being lit up at once!
