System Check

2009 Honda Odyssey EX-LSECTION System Check
  1. Connect the HDS to the data link connector.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  3. Monitor the System Check in the Immobilizer Info with the HDS.
  4. If the HDS displays the "Immobilizer system is normal", the immobilizer system is OK. If the HDS displays any other messages, check as follows:
    SYSTEM CHECK CHART

    Status Log No. System Check Possible Failures
    A-1 The key is not registered
    • This key is not registered in the immobilizer control unit-receiver. Try to register keys using the HDS.
    • Poor communication between the antenna and the immobilizer key because of interference caused by items such as key chains.
    • Poor communication between the antenna and the immobilizer key because of low battery voltage
    A-2 Communication error between the key and immobilizer control unit-receiver
    • Intermittent interruption between transponder and immobilizer control unit-receiver.
    • The immobilizer key type is different. It is not for this vehicle but for another one or for other company's one.
    • Key failure (transponder failure)
    • The communication was not good between the antenna and the immobilizer key by influence of metal such as key chains.
    • Poor communication between the antenna and the immobilizer key because of low battery voltage.
    A-3 No communication between the key and immobilizer control unit-receiver
    • The ignition switch was turned on with a non-immobilizer key.
    • The immobilizer key type is different. It is not for this vehicle but for another one or for other company's one.
    • Key failure (transponder failure)
    • Poor communication between the antenna and the immobilizer key because of interference caused by items such as key chains.
    • Poor communication between the antenna and the immobilizer key because of low battery voltage.
