The main reason why your Honda CR-V won't start is likely due to a drained battery. When the battery has low power and you attempt to start the engine or even just switch on the ignition, it can trigger various unusual warning lights and system malfunctions, such as a brake system warning. All these systems rely on receiving 12 volts to operate correctly, and when they don't get enough voltage, they can act erratically. The quickest solution is to jump-start your CR-V using a vehicle with a fully charged battery. Once you've successfully started the CR-V, make sure not to switch off the engine until you've driven for at least 20-30 minutes to allow the battery to fully recharge.

    A frequent reason why a Honda CRV may refuse to start and display brake system error messages is due to a dead or failing battery.

    You were absolutely right! I woke up to a 2018 Honda CR-V that wouldn't start, and the dashboard was blaring warnings at me. Managed to jump-start it and drove to get a brand new battery. Luckily, it died at home... Drove over 500 miles home yesterday! Appreciate your helpful advice!
