Does anybody in here having problems with the 2002 Accord EX V6 Immobilizer System? I have this unit whose having starting problem (intermittent) especially in the moring. I brought it to a local Honda Service Center and told me they found NO problem with my car (even quipped "He'll teach me how to start a car"! What an a..hole). However 2 days after I have this problem happening more often. I did noticed that the green key indicator in the dashboard blink when it's not going to start, but will start when the light goes off immediately after inserting the key. I read the manual and it points to the Immobilizer System. I'm planning to bring it back to the service center (probably another one) and point it to this immobilizer system, and hopefully it will show this intermttent problem. Does anybody here in this forum had this issue/problem before? Please advise....

 

Does it do that with just the one key or all of them?

 

All 3 of them (1 valet key included).

 

If it's not the keys which it probably isn't, i've seen a couple with bad sensor rings cause an intermittent problem like that. It could be a bad control unit also. The flashing light means it's not recognizing the key. Immobilizer systems problems are a pain to diagnose.

 

does anybody know if a 98 honda accord sedan..has the chip in the key for the immobilizer?? when was it introduced on the accord???

 

it was first introduced in 98 in accords
