Why isn’t my Honda’s keyless start system working?
I drive a Honda Civic and lately my keyless start system has been acting up. The dashboard keeps displaying an error message, but doesn’t say what the actual issue is. Why isn’t my keyless start system working?

Good question—if your Honda’s keyless start system isn’t working and the screen shows an error message, there are a few things that may be causing it, with the most common being a dead remote battery or a malfunctioning “Engine Start/Stop” switch.
Though it is most common in the Honda Pilot, keyless start system problems are an issue that plague nearly all Honda models, something that Honda has even addressed. Try replacing the battery in the remote first, but if that doesn’t work you may need to visit a mechanic and have them check the system for errors.
As mentioned, it could be a faulty “Engine Start/Stop” switch, but it may also be a disconnected smart antenna, an issue with the smart fuse, or even too much exposure to water, like after a torrential rainstorm.
Hope this helps!.
