<h1>2001 Honda CR-V – Keyless Entry Remote Fob Programming Instructions</h1> <p><font size="3"><b> Important Notice:</b> When entering programming mode, all previously programmed remotes will be erased. To retain functionality, you must reprogram every remote fob during the same session. Also, each step must be completed within 5 seconds of the previous step. If this timing is not followed, the system will exit programming mode and the procedure must be restarted from the beginning. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><b>Programming Procedure:</b> </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Step 1: Insert the key into the ignition. Turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, but do not start the engine. This will activate the vehicle’s electrical system in preparation for programming. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on any remote fob. This signals the vehicle to begin the recognition process. You may use an unprogrammed or new remote for this step. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 3: Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position. This completes the first cycle of the programming sequence. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Repeat Steps 1 through 3 two additional times, for a total of three complete cycles using the same remote. Be sure to complete each step within 5 seconds of the previous one to maintain programming mode eligibility. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 5: After the third cycle, turn the ignition switch back to the ON (II) position once more. Your vehicle should now be ready to enter programming mode.</font></li> <li><font size="3"> Step 6: Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the same remote used during the cycles. If the power door locks cycle automatically (lock and then unlock), this confirms the vehicle has successfully entered programming mode.</font></li> <li><font size="3"> Step 7: Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on each remote you wish to program. After each button press, the door locks should cycle to confirm successful registration of the remote. Repeat this step for all remotes you want to use with the vehicle. Any remotes not programmed during this session will no longer function. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 8: Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position to exit programming mode. This saves all programmed remote data and ends the session. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 9: Remove the key and test each programmed remote. Ensure that all remotes operate correctly—test lock, unlock, and any additional functions (if applicable). </font></li> </ul> <p><font size="3"><b>Tips for Successful Programming:</b> </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Keep all remotes within reach before starting. Maintain a steady pace—no more than 5 seconds between steps. If the door locks do not cycle as expected, the vehicle has not entered programming mode. Turn the ignition to OFF and start again.</font></li> </ul>
