Car Forum / Honda Cars / January 20072003 Accord Key Remote
One of the key remotes stopped working on my 03 Accord. Has anyone had experience repairing these? Not sure if it has an internal battery or just needs to be reprogrammed. Thanks. > One of the key remotes stopped working on my 03 Accord. Has anyone had > experience repairing these? Not sure if it has an internal battery or > just needs to be reprogrammed. Thanks. ----------------------------- Your owner's manual will tell you if the battery is user-servicable. 'Curly' >> One of the key remotes stopped working on my 03 Accord.

What will they think of next!? If the '04 EX uses the same key as breeze's '03, there is a cross-head screw on the back, and a small slot in which to insert a screwdriver to pop open the back. To be sure, I got out my manual and that is the, uh, case. Look in the manual's index for "Remote Transmitter," not "key!" Gosh, only a moron would look in the index for "key" when he/she wants to replace its battery.... Reminds me of a catalog that had a coat rack indexed not as "coat rack," but as "costumer." AH! The manual! Should have seen that one coming. Anyone had to reprogram one of these buggers? > >> One of the key remotes stopped working on my 03 Accord.

No, never. I just buy a new car when that happens to avoid this problem... only kidding. > AH! The manual! Should have seen that one coming. Anyone had to > reprogram one of these buggers?

Each transmitter uses one battery. How to program the remotes: Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the programming mode. . You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from exiting the programming mode. 1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). 2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter can be used for this step.) 3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0). 4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2. 5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). 6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode. 7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted the transmitter's code. 8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode. > How to program the remotes: But just replacing the battery doesn't require reprogramming, does it? (The manual doesn't say anything about needing to.) It would be very unusual if it did. Certainly unlike every other car we have ever owned.

I don't think people should be pressed into abject fear every time they need to replace the battery in the remote. ;-) >> But just replacing the battery doesn't require reprogramming, does it? >> (The manual doesn't say anything about needing to.) |
