Lost your 04 Accord Key Fob or need to program a new one? It can be a hassle and expensive to get it done at a dealership.

This guide will walk you through each step to get your key fob working quickly and easily.
Step-by-Step Programming Guide for Your 04 Accord Key Fob
Before you begin, it’s important to note that this programming sequence will erase all previously programmed key fobs. Therefore, you will need to reprogram all of your key fobs, including any that were working before, during this process. Ensure you have all key fobs you intend to use ready before starting. Also, remember to complete each step within 5 seconds of the last to avoid the system exiting programming mode prematurely.
-
Begin by turning your Honda Accord’s ignition switch to the ON position (II). This is the position right before you would start the engine.
-
Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on one of your key fobs. It doesn’t matter if the key fob is already programmed or brand new for this step.
-
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position (0), which is the OFF position.
-
Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times, always using the same key fob you used in step 2. This means you will cycle through ON, press button, OFF a total of three times in a row.
-
Turn the ignition switch back to the ON position (II) one last time.
-
Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button again on the same key fob used in the previous steps. At this point, the power door locks should cycle (lock then unlock) automatically. This confirms that your 2004 Accord has successfully entered programming mode.
-
Now, for each key fob you wish to program (including the one you’ve been using), press the LOCK or UNLOCK button. After pressing a button on each key fob, the power door locks should cycle again to confirm that each remote has been accepted and programmed by the system.
-
Finally, turn the ignition switch back to the LOCK position (0) to exit the key fob programming mode.
-
To ensure successful programming, test each key fob to verify they now lock and unlock your Honda Accord doors as expected.
By following these simple steps, you can easily program your 2004 Honda Accord key fob and save yourself a trip to the mechanic or dealership.
