Problem overview

Some Honda Passport owners report experiencing unexpected activation of the collision mitigation system and issues with the car not restarting after the engine idle cuts off. These problems may manifest as the vehicle stalling when coming to a stop, followed by a quick restart, often accompanied by the "collision mitigation system" warning light. Additionally, the Idle-Stop feature can contribute to unexpected stalling situations. In certain cases, the engine shuts off, causing the car to shift into Neutral or Park, requiring a restart after a brief period. This scenario may also trigger the Collision Mitigation System warning lights. To address these concerns, some owners find it helpful to keep the sensors clean, reset the collision mitigation braking system, and ensure proper installation of the sensors. Furthermore, adjusting the sensitivity setting within the brake switch has been reported to resolve issues affecting the collision mitigation system in some instances.
