2015 Honda Fit: check engine light

Filed Jul 30, 2026 · Electrical, Transmission · CO

The vehicle experienced transmission drive issues accompanied by a Check Engine Light. An independent repair facility scanned the vehicle and confirmed diagnostic trouble code P0717 for a transmission speed sensor open circuit. The failure causes unexpected loss of acceleration and erratic power delivery while driving, redlining at 45 mph, malfunctioning of the gear selection display, and creating a safety hazard in active traffic. These symptoms line up with the CVT drive pulley shaft defect addressed in the federal safety agency Recall 15V574. When I contacted an authorized Honda dealership to address the issue, they stated this specific VIN is not included in the recall campaign. The vehicle and its diagnostic records are available for inspection upon request.

Odometer screen, which includes mileage, fuel gauge, time and any check engine information, will regularly blink, appear blank, show unreadable characters or a combination of the three on mornings with an external temperature of 60 F or below. Reading up on Honda Fit forums, it appears to be faulty hardware and/or poor solder joints that are cracking. More complaints can be found here: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/3rd-generation-2015/95284-2015-fit-odometer-display-goes-haywire.html While there is a separate low fuel and check engine light in the panel, this is far more than a simple quality of life device and could cause a significant safety risk to the driver. Honda should be responsible for the repair or replacement of the display.

My check engine light came on, but shut off by the time I was able to see a repair shop. I needed a smog, but they decided to check my car first to see why the light came on and went away. It had to do with the fuel injector/catalytic converter. He wanted me to drive it a bit and come back to see if it would go away. It did not, even though my lights remained off and the car was operating fine. Had I not needed the smog check, I would have canceled the appointment and not known. After doing research, it is common for fuel injectors on my car to fail due to a faulty part. Honda issued an extended warranty, but even after calling for more information, they were unhelpful. I ended up paying $3,000 to resolve this. My car is a 2015 and just hit 85k miles. Honda should be informing owners of this issue.

I was driving 75mph on the highway, under cruise control. I accelerated to pass a truck. The engine hesitated. A tire pressure monitoring system, vehichle stabbilty assist, electrical power steering and a flashing check engine light, came on. The car began slowing against my inputs to 45mph (limp mode) on a busy highway many miles from anywhere. I was able to reset the code by disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it. This got me a few more miles, the it (limp mode) happened again. I disconnect/reconnect battery once more and this gets me 35 more miles and to the nearest town. Taking it to a shop, they identify the issue as the fuel injectors by researching online. It turns out this is fairly common on this year (2015) of honda fit, and still seems to persist despite a redesign of the injectors from honda. The repair was horribly expensive ($1,000 for parts from honda), both for a cheap and cheerful car, as well as what appears to be very ordinary solenoid fuel injectors. I'm very surprised that this know issue by honda hasn't spawned a recall, but either way, I'm very disappointed in this car.

My check engine light has been coming on a lot recently. Took it to a dealer in lacrosse wi. Today to have it checked and they said that all the fuel injectors need replaced. I asked if it could still safely be driven. They said that it could become disabled, stranding me wherever it happens. I don't feel safe driving the car after what I was told by the dealer today. I have done some researcing of the faulty injector problem and it seems to be an issue that honda has known about for a long time and their only solution is over a $1700 replacement cost.

My 2015 honda fit lx with only 22,000 miles has 4 system lights all came on at once ' TPMS, check engine, electric power steering (eps), vehicle stability assist (vsa). The mechanic recommended that all 4 fuel injectors along with fuel pipes will need to be replaced after ruling out ignition coils and spark plugs as potential issues. He stated that there are known issues with direct fuel injectors with honda of this model year. A search on the internet and the federal safety agency website confirmed this is known issue of this model year honda as reported by many honda owners with similar problems. The estimate cost to replace all fuel injectors is $1700-2000. This is a known defective design by honda but they will not recall or cover the repair.

Attempt to start car, will not start - has new battery, new plugs, gas; it's a manual - check engine light has been on for about 6 months - intermittent starting problems. Today - tried to start, nothing. Has been diagnosed with engine light - p 105 - 1st fuel injector not functioning properly, running lean. Disgusting - first honda in 4 that I have owned that is broken. This is way beyond simple wear and tear. 5 year old car should start - every time.

Driving honda fit with approximately 65,000 miles. No prior issues with regular maintenance being done on it. All dashboard warning lights (check engine, tps, traction control sensor and steering wheel with exclamation mark) went on in the vehicle while driving on a city street to work. Vehicle did not operate well and did not feel safe drive. Took to local honda mechanic and was diagnosed with a p0420 cylinder misfire code. Was told this was a known issue with this model of hondas and have found multiple reports online as such. Was told my engine could be damaged and it is unsafe to drive. Called honda dealership and was told them would not cover it and was out of warranty.

A couple of days ago I went to turn my car on, while stationary the dashboard lights lit up out of nowhere.the TPMS sensor began flashing, the check engine light came on, along with the eps & vsa lights. The car just got to 68k miles. I went to get my car scanned and the result was a misfire on cylinder 4. After doing more research, I found that many other cars (of this exact model) had this same issue & have been recalled, but mine hasn't. I'm worried it may become a bigger issue to my safety.

I could've died!! Driving down the interstate all of sudden all the warning lights flashed & my car wouldn't go. Was told it was catalytic converter & fuel injectors needed to be replaced. $2900. Had them replaced & same day I got my car back no check engine came on, was driving down the interstate & just stopped going. I couldn't give it gas & the rpms revved up, cars flying past me trying to make it to the shoulder! It was terrifying!!! Read there have been a lot of issues with the fuel injectors, but honda making customers pay for it. I bought the fit so I could have a reliable commute & now I don't feel safe at all.

My car has approximately 60,000 miles on it and has only ever been used for transport from home to school. I was driving at approximately 20 MPH and the check engine light came on while I was in motion. A couple minutes later, the power steering, traction, and tire pressure light came on all at the same time while I was in motion. My car jerked and I lost control for a brief second. The lights will flash on and off at random times while I'm in motion and is especially terrifying when trying to drive at a highway speed. Many people with 2015 honda fits have had similar issues and I would encourage you to explore this danger. A car that new with relatively low mileage should not be experiencing mechanical issues that put their drivers at risk.

Car had a little over 48,000 miles on it. Check engine light came on. Took it to dealership, they said the fuel injectors all needed to be replaced. The vehicle is under a service bulletin on faulty fuel injectors for all VIN's of the honda fit 2015, and the ntsb number for that is: a16-034. But the dealership said there was nothing they could do to help cover the costs. Looking at $1800 in repairs for an issues that shouldn't be happening this early in the life of the car. Unbelievable.
