2017 Honda Civic Electrical System

While driving my Honda civic 2017, a loud static noise suddenly started coming from the vehicle’s audio system or speakers. The noise is persistent and does not stop unless I turn off the vehicle completely. This creates a significant distraction and could interfere with hearing emergency vehicles or other road sounds. This issue occurs randomly and is a serious safety concern.

The air conditioning stopped working for the second time. So far the compressor bearing has been replaced as well as the condenser.

BCM module in the 2017 Civics seem to have constant Parasitic Battery Drain issues that are not being addressed by Honda. My battery died and was replaced, drain continue on a daily basis. Was able to trace to BCM module. checked online to find numerous other people having the same exact issue.

My vehicles Body Control Module has malfunctioned and now I have to get a new one. When driving my car will begin to flash all of the warning lights including the power steering, break system, TMPS system and the immobilizer light. This is distracting while driving and it makes me feel like I am going to crash and I could injure myself or others on the road when these lights are distracting and I am not in a safe place to pull over. Honda Marysville has inspected the vehicle and has confirmed that the Body Control Module has failed. A bunch of alerts began to pop up and I was unsure of which ones to fix. I checked all my tires and they were within normal range so I was confused why my car was showing me the warning light. There were no other warnings that were shown. My car alarm would go off and the lights on the dash would flash when I turned my car off.

Body control module/ECU had to be reset at dealership and possible replacement in near future. Glitch occurred and cut power to hazards, turn signals, lights, door locks, etc. during operation of vehicle.

2nd attempt. I went to download pictures and was kicked out of site. 2017 Honda Civic EX Sedan bought used 2021. So far I've needed 2 new batteries in a very short amount of time. Multiple warning lights are appearing when I start car. Charging System Problem, Power Steering System (EPS) Problem, Charging System Problem, Hill Start Assist Problem, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) Problem, Brake Hold System Problem. Yes, charging System Problem was showing twice. Available for inspection. Yes, my safety is at risk, I'm afraid and paranoid on what else could happen while I'm driving. I'm afraid to drive my car for my own safety. You know Honda, my Life matters too! I've went online and read others with similar problems from used to brand new, going into Limp mode not being able to drive over 40 mph and myself being severely inconvenienced with my JOB. Dealership appt this Tuesday. Occurances: Nov 13 12:32 pm 12.19 TWICE 12.21 Once 12.26.23 9:39am AND 11:23am AND 1:10pm 1.2.24 10:21 am 1.4.24 11:42 am AND 12:34 pm 1.5.24 11:13 am 1.6.24 11:37 am brake light came on, binging, then went away. 1.6.24 12:12pm. This is happening almost everyday now. Thank you!!

car alarm going off for an extended period of time caused a short at the battery and caused a fire that destroyed the vehicle.

About a week ago my car began going into accessory mode on its own leaving my interior and exterior lights, my dash board lights and my head unit on until i noticed so my car couldve been dead if i wouldnt have seen. also since the car is locked and it goes into accessory mode on its own the alarm starts going off due to the security system thinking its being broken into. ive done my research trying to figure out what the issue is and ive found a huge amount of other people are also dealing with this issue. during my research i found that the cause for the car going into accessory mode and the alarms going off is the body control module. so many people are saying they filed complaints and tried to get a hold of honda to try and get a recall started but nothing has come of it and im hoping that you guys can change that. i looked into the body control module and you cant even get the part right now due to very high demand and the part being on back order indefinitely due to so many people dealing with this issue. i hope something can come of this thank you.

There is a short in the BCM (body control module). This causes massive parasitic drain on my battery of over an amp (roughly 1.2 amps typically). I have to pull the fuse for it (fuse 18 in the engine bay fuse box) every time I leave my car off for more than a couple hours. I'm extremely worried this short is going to cause either a fire or one of the important functional systems of my car to stop working while I'm driving. I have read MANY other reports of this happening to other 2017 Honda Civics yet Honda hasn't done anything about it.

BCM Failed causing an electrical start problem and the car will not completely turn off. With BCM failed doors will not unlock with the remote and the car fails to start or starts and fails to turn off. This is a known problem with these cars that honda will not address and a safety concern for my family as the car has turned itself off while in motion.

Car has a faulty board control module. Car randomly starts itself in accessory mode, even when key fob is not present or batteries are removed. Other times, car will click and not turn on, or show random error messages. Car will intermittently not start; shows “keyless start system problem.” Car alarm randomly goes off. Car will intermittently not turn off once started. Internet search reveals multiple other individuals with the same problem, sometimes covered under warranty and other times not. Honda of America is sometimes helpful and other times, not. Problems are intermittent and difficult to reproduce, necessitating additional diagnostics by dealers. Among other problems reported are problems with door locks, windshield wipers, and headlights. I have concerns that the electrical problems will lead to serious safety issues, such as: lights turning on or off while driving; inability to turn off ignition in an emergency; wipers not working during rain (wet conditions seem to correlate to more problems, for other drivers and for me, suggesting an issue with corrosion), or getting locked into/out of the vehicle in an emergency.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the rear door locks were making squeaking sounds and the alarm would inadvertently be engaged at night. The contact stated that the vehicle would fail turn off and would go into ACC mode. The contact was unable to lock the doors. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the BCM had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V771000 (Electrical System, Back Over Prevention, Visibility/Wiper, Visibility, Exterior Lighting) because the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 39,500.

Car was draining battery because it would turn on randomly. They replaced the ignition switch, which didn’t work, then the alarm would go off constantly so I took it back to dealership. They said the part is backordered and they have NO idea how long it will be. It has been nearly 2 months, and I NEED my car for work and my 3 kids. I understand this is a well known issue, and the 2018-2019 models were recalled. Dealer says the have several similar issues with the 2017 models. I got a Honda for reliability, but instead I have had the worst car issues of any I have driven.

After a sever rainstorm and ice storm a code that causes BCM (Body Control Module) fault code to show up. It affected systems such as Intermittent lock or unlock trunk and door while vehicle is in operation, Failure to start and Security alarm active at random times. An independent service found the "B12D1" code that indicated the BCM has failed during the prescribed process by the manufacture. The problem was reproduced during an ice storm in 2019 and 2022 causing this error code while vehicle is exposed to weather.

Wiring harness was "damaged by rodents" twice due to the swap to soy-based, edible wiring. No other vehicles have this issue in my area and I have lived here 5 years. This damage causes all electrical systems to fail, including power steering, and will eventually result in a fatality - if it has not already. Honda will not cover this under warranty and has done nothing to resolve the issue! The alleged "spicy tape fix" does not deter rodents.

On two (2) separate occasions the engine wiring harness was damaged by rodents. The damaged wiring harness compromised the power steering system, braking system and stability control system. Failure of these critical systems put the safety and welfare of myself, my family and all drivers on the road in danger of serious injury and death. The damaged wiring harness is in my possession and available for inspection. The local Honda dealership and numerous other sources have stated the manufacturer is using a soy based plant material to produce the wire casing that attracts rodents to chew and permanently damage the food based wiring components. The local Honda dealership inspected and verified the cause and the effect of the damage. Steering, braking and stability control warning lights were indicated while driving the vehicle and prior to driving in subsequent trips

This is a known issue with Hondas from 2016 and up where the Body Control Module (BCM) is faulty and malfunctioning. When the car turns off, it turns itself back on and makes noises to turn itself back on. This issue may cause possible electrical issues that may short and start a fire internally. Honda dealerships across the country have known about this issue for many years, yet they have not fixed the problem. There are youtube videos entailing the same occurrences in a lot of other people's cars, including myself. My vehicle has not been inspected but spoke with several Honda dealerships about the issue, and they are all aware of the issue, yet have no solution but to replace it. The BCM is on backorder for months and people are without cars to use due to the repeated occurrences for everybody. There are no signs of any issues before the faulty BCM malfunctions. Dealerships charge $1500-2500 for car repairs that they are not able to fix due to the backorder of the component. If this issue has been going on for several years, why hasn't Honda fixed and replace the issue, instead of knowing the issue and making their customers pay a large amount of money to fix what they know will go wrong? It is unethical and demoralizing to have a company take advantage of its customers. Link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKdfkzsnXT0

1. The Driver's side door open alarm. 2. When the alarm sounds it makes me think the door has somehow come open. 3. Yes - they didn't see anything visual wrong with the hinges. 4. Yes - the dash warning light for door open came on.

Faulty Body Control Module which controls many electronic systems in the car. Alarm started going off while car was parked in the garage. Went off twice within 12 hour period—once in the middle of the night. Car has to be accessed and turned on to stop alarm. Issues with vehicle recognizing key. Body Control Module was replaced at my expense.

happens with out the key near the car. 2017 Honda Civic, Car will trigger itself to start to accessory mode, turning on headlights, wipers (if switch is on), and sometimes triggering the alarm system when locked and armed. just the electronics turn on by itself. It occurs both when I am in the vehicle, and when no keys are in the vehicle sometimes every error message shows. Several times I will go to my car and the system will be on, or the car will be dead and have to be jumped from being on without me knowing. I'm currently disconnecting the battery. This is a video of another person with the exact problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKdfkzsnXT0

STARTED CAR TO RUN AN ERRAND, AND A BUNCH OF ERROR/PROBLEM CODES APPEARED ON DASH ONE BY ONE AS WELL AS ENGINE LIGHT. ALL YELLOW LIGHTS. THE CAR WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE WITH NO PROBLEMS BUT IT DISPLAYED ON DASH WITH EVERY PROBLEM. HAD NO ISSUE TURNING ON, STAYING IN MOTION, SITTING IDLE FOR 30 MIN, OR BRAKING, YET EVERY ISSUE WAS STILL ON DISPLAY AFTER MULTIPLE STARTUPS. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD ME BRING IT IN BUT SHOULD ONLY TAKE A COUPLE OF HOURS. HAD TO LEAVE OVERNIGHT AND IS NOW LATE AFTERNOON. SERVICE IS MAKING REPAIRS AND SOFTWARE UPDATES AT THE APPROVAL OF AMERICAN HONDA (NOT EVEN INVOLVING EXTENDED WARRANTY.) FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THAT HONDA HAS HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS.

Vehicle is having electrics issues. It will start up and then when attempting to start it again, it will not start. This happens sporadically and the battery, starter and alternator have been tested in good condition and working as designed.

THE A/C STOPPED WORKING ONLY ONE YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW. THE CAR'S A/C STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR FROM THE VENTS EVEN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL SETTING WAS SET TO LOWEST TEMP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE OFTEN TIMES I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND THROW UP FROM HEAT EXHAUSTION WHILE I'M DRIVING DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. THERE HAS BEEN NO REASON FOR THIS TO OCCUR. HOWEVER, I HAVE REVIEWED MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

A/C FAULTY - CONDENSER LEAK - DRIVER SIDE AIR NOT WORKING STATIONARY AND IN MOTION, CONSISTENTLY DYSFUNCTIONAL

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM GOES FROM COLD TO HOT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. DURING VERY HOT DAYS CABIN BECOMES EXTREMELY HOT EVEN WITH FAN TURNED TO HIGH AND A/C TURNED TO THE ON POSITION. HAVE HEARD THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WITH OTHER HONDA CIVIC OWNERS AS WELL. BECOMES VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TRYING TO DRIVE WHILE CABIN IS HOT. HAPPENS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR AT IDLE
