Check Engine Light Flashing

The sight of a flashing check engine light in your 2013 Honda Fit EV signals an active fault that needs immediate attention — often indicating an intermittent electrical fault or a battery management issue that could worsen quickly. At Hare Honda in Indiana, our factory-trained technicians use Honda OEM diagnostic tools to read live data, isolate transient faults, and determine whether the vehicle is safe to drive. A flashing condition can mean anything from a sensor miscommunication to a battery control module fault; delaying diagnosis may lead to cascading electrical problems or reduced battery efficiency, increasing repair costs and downtime. We combine fast, transparent diagnostics with OEM parts and clear estimates so you understand the scope and long-term benefits of the recommended repairs. Take advantage of our service financing to address urgent issues now and avoid higher costs later.

2013 Honda Fit EV Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2013 Honda Fit EV often relate to battery management sensors, inverter or DC-DC converter signals, and auxiliary electrical components. For example, a battery voltage sensor code can lead to reduced charging efficiency and accelerated battery wear if not corrected, while inverter-related codes can impact drivability and lead to more complex repairs. At Hare Honda, we explain the cost implications of leaving these codes unaddressed: immediate performance loss, potential need for larger component replacements, and higher lifetime ownership expenses. Our Indiana service center offers efficient diagnostics, OEM parts, and Honda-certified technicians who prioritize both short-term affordability and long-term vehicle health — often delivering better total value than independent shops by avoiding repeat repairs. We provide transparent estimates, warranty guidance (repairs covered under warranty must be done at a certified dealership), and flexible payment options including service financing.

2013 Honda Fit EV Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2013 Honda Fit EV is more than clearing a lamp — it requires resolving the underlying code and verifying the repair with proper testing. Hare Honda uses Honda-specific tools to clear codes only after repairs are completed and monitoring confirms the fault is resolved, ensuring the light does not return and that warranty coverage remains intact. Performing a simple reset without true repair can mask a recurring issue, risk system damage, and ultimately increase costs. At Hare Honda in Indiana we emphasize transparency: you receive diagnostic results, repair recommendations, OEM parts, and a clear warranty statement. Our certified technicians complete repairs to factory standards, and we offer service financing and periodic service specials to make recommended work affordable.
