General Check before Troubleshooting
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Honda Pilot. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Before troubleshooting the immobilizer system, check the following general items and solve any if applicable:
- The battery is low; charge the battery fully, then troubleshoot the immobilizer system.
- The ignition key is not a genuine Honda part; use a Honda-approved key blank, register the key, then troubleshoot the immobilizer system.
- A key ring, keys or a key case is used; remove the key from it, and troubleshoot the immobilizer system with a key only.
- An aftermarket electrical part is attached; remove it, then troubleshoot the immobilizer system.
