the engine’s f uel system is disabled.
When you turn the ignition switch to

indicator should come on f or a f ew

it, and turn the switch to ON (II)
again.
The system may not recognize your
key’s coding if another immobilizer
key or other metal object is near the
ignition switch when you insert the
key. To make sure the system
recognizes the key code:Do not keep other immobilizer
keys on the same key ring.
Use a plastic or leather key f ob,
not metal.

vehicle’s key and the ignition
switch while trying to start the
engine.
If you have lost your key and you
cannot start the engine, contact your
Honda dealer.

or add other devices to it. Electrical
problems could result that may make
your car undriveable.
This indicator will also blink several
times when you turn the ignition
switch f rom ON (II) to ACCESSORY
