Low Battery Warning on a Odyssey, Attempt to Start car W/Foot off Pedal?

2019 Honda Odyssey, about 65k miles. I accidentally tried starting my van without my foot pressing down on the accelerator (something I don’t do typically) and was greeted with a low voltage battery warning, turn off headlights… Warning. Pressed foot on the accelerator and van started up just fine.

This seems to can be replicated every time. Is this normal when you try to do this?

you don’t need to step on accelerator in order to start your vehicle.

The engine is fuel injected not carbureted.

If your battery is 6 years old it might be worth checking and possibly replacing.

We all make miskates…!

Perhaps pokemon thought their foot was on the brake

–it happens.
