Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: Auto stop feature - the "A"symbol is flashing amber
« Last post by Jeff B on November 09, 2024, 09:46:57 PM »@Jeff B
Could the problem be that pressing the "A" switch on every journey has caused a fault at the switch?
For 2 years I have ignored the A (crossed-out) with a battery sign next to it in the multi-information display (MID).
Also, have you tried 'configuring' the AIS via the MID?
I cannot see any means of configuring the auto stop system from the MID on my Jazz model. I can do several other things but not that. I think if it were possible then wouldn't the Honda garage have done that?

« Last post by Jeff B on November 09, 2024, 09:43:33 PM »I’m sorry I can’t answer your question but I can confirm that any warning light displayed or flashing on the dashboard will result in an MOT failure.I disagree. Only those that indicate a dangerous fault should fail. But not if it only to alert the driver that non essential or legally required aids are currently inactive, such as stop idle, service reminders, or things like parking sensors, lane keeping assist etc are inactive due to condensation, dirty sensors etc. And probably some other orange lights. A red light is more likely to be a test failure.
Incidentally a TPMS warning light should not fail if the tester is satisfied the system is working correctly and it is indicating a low tyre pressure . The low tyre pressure itself may not fail either as its not part of the test.
Problem is you cant expect testers to know the ins and outs of all warning lights on all cars and you dont really want to have to argue your case or refer to the owners manual. And if the manual says "consult dealer" it can cover a multitude of possible causes ,which may justify a cautious test fail.
An independent garage/auto electrician may be able to read fault codes in broad terms enough to exclude some possibilities. But they may not have the knowledge to trace faults down to a particular faulty component.
Thank you for your reply. I have made an appointment with a local independent auto-electrics guy for later this month so I'll see what he comes up with. Regarding the MOT issue, he said what you said i.e. it should not be a reason to fail the MOT but he suggested that I talk to the guys at the MOT garage beforehand and get their reaction before booking the test. The MOT is not due until August so I am not panicking anyway.
I have searched a lot of second hand car part Internet sites but no-one seems to offer the brake booster sensor that the Honda dealer reckons is the problem. However it looks like I can buy the entire brake servo assembly for about £30 but I need to check that that includes the sensor. Pictures from some suppliers show it and others don't. I can find new sensors alone for other cars and they are of the order of £30 to £50, nowhere near the £300 the Honda dealer quoted!
I still can't understand what the brake booster sensor has to do with the auto-stop/start function!

Then you would be watertight?

How clever! I've never thought about single pump - two destinations.
LV, Thanks for the lesson!!

« Last post by ninanina on November 09, 2024, 04:32:57 PM »Some may remember that I was looking to buy a Jazz but the brake failure issues really put me off so started looking at the Yaris. However the Yaris is not that practical and if doing a low mileage it has 12v battery problems
I only do about 3-4,000 miles a year
Does anyone know if I went for a 2023 model Jazz has the brake failure issue definitely been fixed?
The Jazz is just so practical. I don’t need a big car anymore and I keep coming back to the Jazz because it’s small on the outside but big on the inside. It’d be perfect for me
I am looking to keep my next car for many years

Probably changed because of a flat spacesaver...
