Default How to get rid of the green immobilizer light?

I know this has been recovered very recently, but I can't find the thread for my life.

Can someone tell me how to get the green light on the cluster from blinking?
I remember in the other thread someone said something about opening up the plastic ignition cover and just disconnect a wire, but I have no idea which one or if I'm just imagining ****.

Thanks in advance.

Really? I could've sworn it was posted already and no complaints/locked thread.

Its not "deactivating it" either. Its just getting rid of the green light. I'm using KPro and its not enabled but the green key keeps flashing and its annoying as hell

I asked around, and this is actually a legit/ok question. There should be no risk in telling how to remove the immobilizer light only. If anyone wants to answer this question, feel free. The question is how to only remove the green flashing key light from the cluster.

Note, if the thread does in fact go off topic, it will be closed immediately. Or, if any of you attest to this thread being open LMK.

Does the original poster have a track car with a K Pro or something?

Maybe we should just put him in touch with somebody in tuning.

Not a track car. Its daily driven 02 EP3 and I just finished a K24A2 swap. Using a PRB KPro with the immobilizer disabled on KPro and just been annoyed from the green light flashing while I drive. Keep mistaking it as my turn signal being on lol.

I found a thread on Club RSX on how to disable it, but just don't know which plug it is in the steering column.

Why not just take it into the dealership? They can reset the immobilizer for you with your new ECU and the light will stop blinking. It's not expensive to do this and takes only a few steps for them to do it.

The immobilizer is nothing illegal. It is an actual service provided by the dealership. If you buy Hondata KPro (with ECU, not sending your ECU), you will receive the ECU with the immobilizer disabled. In order to reactivate the immobilizer (and therefore remove the green flashing light) you need to go to the dealership. They have the specific software that allows them to go through a few simple menu items to re-sync the key ring in the car with the immobilizer setting in the ECU.

The exact same steps are taken if an ECU dies (very rare, I know) and they need to replace it. This is exactly what I had done when I put a full KPro'd ECU into my RSX.

you are correct there is nothing illegal about the immobilizer unit itself, you dont even need to go to a dealership to disable the immobilizer....the fact is if you disable the immobilizer it allows anyone with k-pro to steal your car, that is why i do not think this should be discussed, you are giving every person that logs into the web site a view that allows them to steal a rsx or ep3....if they have kpro!!!!
