All warning lights on, car won't start?
All warning lights on, car won't start?
Alright so my 2016 Honda Civic ex-t coup's ignition will not start, the car turns on and the lights, computer, windshield wipers, and windows work and all that, however every single possible error message is being displayed which obviously I know my car is fine and these are a false positive. Can't use the breaks to start the ignition cause the break pad is stiff somehow like it's locked up. I've seen people say they fixed all the warning messages going away by just driving the car for 5 minutes but I literally cannot do that cause I can't start it since I can't press the breaks down. The parking break is not on or anything dumb like that, seems like my car must be stuck in some kind of calibration mode or glitch which I just need to figure out how to reset my car somehow (I've tried turning it off and on multiple times, no luck). Before this happened it was literally working fine however I did 3 things that might have triggered this, 1. I accidentally pressed the TPMS calibration button which activated (apparently you need to drive for 30 minutes when this happens?) and just turned my car off after that without driving. 2. I entered the self check diagnostic mode to make sure all my gauges were working. 3. I pulled out the meter, and fuel pump fuses to check them and put them back in, they're fine. Even while I did those 3 things the car was fine, it was only after it had been sitting for around 30 minutes after those events that I tried to start it again and this all happened. My only idea is to unhook the battery and re-hook it back up. Any ideas?

check battery, if low charge it and try again.
If that starts the car, take to a car parts store and have battery and alternator checked.
