<h1>2010 Honda Element – Keyless Entry Remote Fob Programming Instructions</h1> <p><font size="3"><b> Important Notice:</b> Entering programming mode will erase all previously stored remote codes. All remotes you want to use must be programmed during the same session. To keep the system in programming mode, each step must be completed within five seconds of the previous one. </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Step 1: Sit in the driver’s seat with all doors closed and unlocked. Have all remotes you plan to program ready before starting, as timing is critical throughout this process.</font></li> <li><font size="3"> Step 2: Insert the ignition key and turn it to the ON (II) position. This is the position right before starting the engine—dash lights should come on, but the engine should remain off. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 3: Within five seconds, press either the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the remote you are programming. This action starts the programming cycle. You can use a new or existing remote. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Turn the ignition switch back to the LOCK (0) position. This completes the first of three programming cycles.</font></li> <li><font size="3"> Step 5: Repeat Steps 2 through 4 two more times, using the same remote. Each cycle must be completed within five seconds per step. You should now have performed a total of three ON → button press → OFF cycles.</font></li> <li><font size="3"> Step 6: After the third cycle, turn the ignition to the ON (II) position again. You are now in remote programming mode. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 7: Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button once more on the same remote. The power door locks should cycle (lock and unlock), indicating the vehicle has entered programming mode and accepted the remote.</font></li> <li><font size="3"> Step 8: Within five seconds, press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on any additional remotes you wish to program. After each button press, wait for the door locks to cycle, confirming successful registration of the remote. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 9: Repeat Step 8 for each remote, one at a time. Be sure to wait for the door lock response after each one before proceeding to the next.</font></li> <li><font size="3"> Step 10: Once all remotes have been programmed, turn the ignition back to the LOCK (0) position to exit programming mode. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 11: Remove the key from the ignition. Test each remote by locking and unlocking the vehicle doors to verify all remotes are functioning correctly. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 12: If any remote does not respond or the door locks fail to cycle during programming, restart the entire procedure from Step 1. Consistency and proper timing are essential for successful programming.</font></li> </ul>
