Immobilizer System

The immobilizer system protects
your vehicle from theft. If an
improperly-coded key (or other
device) is used, the engine will not
start.
When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, the immobilizer
system indicator should come on
briefly, then go out. If the indicator
starts to blink, it means the system
does not recognize the coding of the
Honda smart key or built-in key.
Turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK (0) position, release the
ignition switch and push it, or
remove the built-in key, and reinsert
it. Then turn the switch to the ON
(II) position again.
