<h1>2009 Honda Pilot Keyless Entry Remote Fob</h1> <p><font size="3"><b> Important:</b> This procedure will only program the remote (lock/unlock/trunk) functions. If your remote also has a key chip, that portion requires separate programming.</font></p> <p><font size="3"><b> Step-by-Step Programming Instructions</b> </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Step 1: Prepare the Vehicle Sit in the driver's seat with all doors and trunk/hatch closed. Have all remotes to be programmed ready. Only one remote is needed to enter programming mode, but all remotes must be programmed during the same session. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Begin Programming Cycle Insert the key into the ignition. Turn the key to the ON position (“II” – dashboard lights will turn on). Within 5 seconds, press the Lock button on the remote for about 1 second, then release. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 3: Turn Off the Ignition Turn the key to the OFF position (“I” – dashboard lights turn off). </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Repeat the Cycle Repeat Steps 2 and 3 a total of four times (ON → Lock → OFF). Each step must be completed within 5 seconds of the previous one. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 5: Enter Programming Mode On the fourth time turning the key to ON, press the Lock button again. The door locks will make a clunking noise, confirming that the vehicle has entered programming mode. The locks will not lock or unlock, but the noise confirms successful entry. Do not turn the key off.</font></li> <li><font size="3"> Step 6: Program Each Remote Within 5 seconds of entering programming mode: Press the Lock button on each remote (one at a time). Each time a remote is accepted, the locks will cycle (lock/unlock) once. Repeat for each additional remote. You can program up to three remotes during this session. Step 7: Exit Programming Mode Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove it. Step out and close the driver’s door. Test each remote to ensure it operates properly. </font></li> </ul> <p><font size="3"><b>Additional Tips:</b> Make sure each remote has a fully charged battery. Act quickly—each step must be completed within the time window or the process resets. If your remote includes a trunk/hatch button, hold it for 2–3 seconds to activate after programming.</font></p>
