Attention! Damage to the microchip can lead to the loss of the ability to start the engine! Do not allow excessive heating of the keys, do not leave them for a long time under direct sunlight; try not to drop the keys or put heavy objects on them; Avoid exposure to moisture, gently wipe the wet kit dry with a soft cloth. There are no replaceable batteries for the microchip - in no case do not make independent attempts to disassemble the key head!
Engine immobilization device
The anti-theft system of some models may include an engine immobilization device as standard (easier - immobilizer). The device serves to prevent unauthorized attempts to start the engine and is an effective anti-theft tool, protecting the car from car thieves.
The engine of a car equipped with an immobilizer can only be disabled using an ignition key equipped with a built-in microchip. A special code is encrypted in the microchip, and the anti-theft system disables the lock only if it is recognized. Attempting to start the engine with any other key or pick will disable the engine start circuit.
When the ignition is turned on (ignition key turned to position "ON" [II]) the control lamp of the immobilization system lights up for a few seconds, then goes out. The flashing of the indicator indicates that the system has not identified the key code. In this case, turn off the ignition (key - in position "LOCK" [0]) and remove the key from the lock, then try again.
Note. There is a possibility that the system does not recognize the code of the key located in the ignition lock if any other key with an embedded microchip is nearby. For reliable identification of the code, we advise you to keep each key in a separate bundle. If the system repeatedly fails to recognize the key code, contact a Honda Dealership.
The flashing of the immobilizer control lamp also occurs when the key is turned in the ignition lock from the position "ON" (II) (ignition on) to ACC position (I) (parking) or LOCK (0) (steering column lock).
Do not attempt to make any changes or additions to the design of the immobilizer. This can disrupt the normal functioning of the vehicle's electronic systems and make it uncontrollable. If the key is lost and the engine cannot be started, contact a Honda Dealership.
