System Description
The vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer system that will disable the vehicle unless the proper ignition key is used.This system consists of a transponder located in the ignition key, an immobilizer control unit-receiver, an indicatorlight, and the ECM.
When the key is inserted in the ignition switch and turned to the ON {ll) position, the immobilizer control unit-receiversends power to the transponder in the ignition key. The transponder then sends a coded signal back to the immobilizer
control unit-receiver which then sends a coded signal to the ECI\4.
iEl'JUiliii'tlun"oona"|.r KEYCYLTNDER
lf the proper key has been used, the immobilizer indicator light will come on for about 2 seconds, then go off.lf the wrong key has been used or the code was not received or recognized by the unit, the indicator light will comeon for about 2 seconds, then it will blink until the ignition switch is turned OFF.lf the ignition switch is turned OFF, the indicator will blink for about 5 seconds to signal that the unit has reset
correctly, then the indicator will go off.
lf the customer has lost his key, and cannot start the engine, contact Honda Customer Relations.

Precautions and Procedures
General Precautions
Please read the following precautions carefully beforeperforming airbag system service. Observe theinstructions described in this manual. or the airbags
could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries.
. Except when performing electrical inspections.
always turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the
negative cable from the battery, and wait at least 3minutes before beginning work.
NOTE: The memory is not erased even if the ignition
switch is turned OFF or the battery cables are
disconnected from the battery.. Use replacement pans which are manufactured to the
same standards and quality as the original parts. Do
not install used SRS parts from another vehicle. Useonly new pans when making SRS repairs.. Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it.
Do not install any part that shows signs of being
dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks,
or deformation.
. Before removing any SRS parts (including the
disconnection of connectors), always disconnect the
SRS connector.. Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. lf itis not a Honda multimeter, make sure its outout is 10mA (0.01A) or less when switched to the lowest value
in the ohmmeter range. A tester with a higher output
could cause accidental deployment and possible
injury.. Do not put objects on the front passenger's airbag.. The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit.
Be sure to get the customer's radio code and write
down the frequencies for the radio's preset stations
before disconnecting the battery cable.. Before returning the vehicle to the customer, enter
the radio code. then enter the customer's radio
station presets, and set the clock. Do the engine
control module (ECM) idle learn procedure (see page
11-139).
