Car Forum / Honda Cars / March 2006Immobilizer failure in Accord
Immobilizer in my Honda Accord LX Sedan 2003 failed twice over last 1.5 year. Both times the car had to be towed to the dealership. First time they retrained original immobilizer, last time they had to replace immobilizer with a new one. Frustrated... Anyone has run into this issue and can offer any advice? Thank you.  Signatureserb http://www.automotiveforums.com Check your manual. On my 2001 Avalon, the manual warned that if you have 2 cars with special keys which use a chip for the security system, if you let the wrong key too close to the ignition it can screw up the car and it won't run. One time my 99 300M would not start. It was towed to the dealer and started fine for them and ran ever since. I believe the 2001 Avalon key confused it. Was unaware of the issue until much later. > Immobilizer in my Honda Accord LX Sedan 2003 failed twice over last 1.5 > year. Both times the car had to be towed to the dealership.

Thanks Art, But I never had two special keys to keep close. I think it was a genuine immobilizer failure. Signatureserb http://www.automotiveforums.com They did a typical dealer fix the first time, Reset it and it may work til out of warranty. They should have replaced the immobilizer the first time it lost the codes..... > Thanks Art, But I never had two special keys to keep close. I think it > was a genuine immobilizer failure. Thanks, Woody. I agree: I do not think the dealership did a good job first time. However, my concern now is that I do not know what caused the immobilizer to fail and that thing may cause new immobilizer to fail again even though the dealership boys have provided their assurances that they checked everything… Signatureserb http://www.automotiveforums.com |
