I have 2015 CRV. At times, when trying to start.. it does ACCESSORY MODE, and wont start without pushing START SWITCH several times. I have replaced battery, key fob batteries, had key fobs rebuilt & programmed. Ive done these from what ive seen on internet. Does anyone else have any ideas? thanx

 

Welcome to the forum.

Check your brake switch for play and/or push the brake pedal harder before you push start. If that is ineffective and with the assumption that all the fob thrashing was done correctly, then you might have a faulty start switch.

See you in the CR-V section…

 

thank you very much for the response... im not foolish.. but, how would i see or know about play in the switch??

 

You would see the switch by contorting yourself under the drivers side dash and following the brake pedal arm up until you find it. Example:

Shall we assume (yup assume) that you tried mashing the brake pedal on start and it still went into accessory mode?
