Warning lights on other CR-V years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026.
What this problem usually is
This sheet is for the moment the whole dash lights up at once: a string of warnings for systems that seem to have nothing to do with each other. Sometimes features drop out. Sometimes it's all gone on the next start. When that many systems complain together, it makes sense to look first at what they have in common.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the battery (42 reports), the module (15 reports), the sensor (5 reports) and the wiring (5 reports).
Recalls and investigations
No recall on the electrical system covers the 2017 model year as of Oct 2, 2026.

What owners wrote
“Unknown: all light on dash come on. Maybe an electrical or engine problem. All safety features on car disable. Honda dealer said itâs an emission problem. Battery has been changed and problem still continues. Started at about 70,000 miles. Comes on and goes away on its own. Happened about 7 times now”

“All dashboard lights come on when car is idling. Changed battery and tested alternator and issue stills persist. Temporary resolution is rebooting the system while car is in accessory mode. I've read many articles with similar issues where after paying thousands of dollars to the dealership to resolve the issue with no success.”

“It has not been looked at yet due to not having funds to get it looked at. I do know others have the same consistent issue with these models especially when theyâd get around 70,000 miles. All of the warning lights the last few months would continue to cut on and off. Now they just stay on. The Car drives fine though but is a safety hazard since it canât tell us if something is wrong.”

“All dashboard lights go and stay on on random occurrences, sometimes going off on their own but mostly when I reboot the system. This occurs when the car has idled for more than a few minutes. Happening since 2021 and 30k miles. Defect fuel injection part that has since been changed by Honda but with no recall. Replaced battery and issue continued to occur. Recall needed!”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 144 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
