Is your 1998 Honda Crv Key Fob no longer working, or did you get a replacement and need to program it? Don’t worry, programming your key fob for your 1998 Honda CRV is a straightforward process you can do yourself at home. This guide provides you with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions to get your 1998 Honda CRV key fob working again in no time.
Before you begin, it’s important to understand that initiating the 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 correctly. Ensure you have all your remotes ready before starting the process. It’s also crucial to complete each step within 5 seconds of the last to prevent the system from exiting the programming mode prematurely.
Here’s how to program your 1998 Honda CRV key fob:
-
Turn the Ignition to the ‘ON’ Position (II). Insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the ‘ON’ position, which is usually two clicks forward. Do not start the engine.
-
Press the ‘LOCK’ or ‘UNLOCK’ Button on a Remote. Take one of your key fobs, it doesn’t matter if it’s programmed or not for this step, and press either the ‘LOCK’ or ‘UNLOCK’ button.
-
Turn the Ignition to the ‘LOCK’ Position (0). Turn the ignition key back to the ‘LOCK’ (or ‘OFF’) position. This is usually the position where you can remove your key.
-
Repeat Steps 1-3 Two More Times. You will need to cycle the ignition from ‘ON’ to ‘LOCK’ and press the remote button a total of three times, using the same remote you used in step 2. So, repeat the sequence: ‘ON’ (press button), ‘LOCK’, ‘ON’ (press button), ‘LOCK’, ‘ON’ (press button), ‘LOCK’.
-
Turn the Ignition to ‘ON’ Position (II) Again. After the third cycle, turn the ignition switch back to the ‘ON’ position one last time.
-
Press the ‘LOCK’ or ‘UNLOCK’ Button on the Same Remote. Press the ‘LOCK’ or ‘UNLOCK’ button on the same remote you’ve been using. If you have successfully entered programming mode, the power door locks should cycle (lock and then unlock) automatically. This confirms that your 1998 Honda CRV is now in key fob programming mode.
-
Program Each Remote. Now, take each key fob you want to program, one at a time, and press the ‘LOCK’ or ‘UNLOCK’ button on each. After pressing a button on each remote, the power door locks should cycle again, indicating that the system has accepted the signal from that remote. Do this for every key fob you need to program.
-
Turn the Ignition to ‘LOCK’ (0) to Exit Programming Mode. Once you have programmed all your desired key fobs, turn the ignition switch to the ‘LOCK’ (or ‘OFF’) position. This will exit the programming mode.
-
Test Your Remotes. Finally, test each of your programmed 1998 Honda CRV key fobs to ensure they are working correctly. Press the ‘LOCK’ and ‘UNLOCK’ buttons to verify that they control the door locks as expected.
By following these steps, you should have successfully programmed your 1998 Honda CRV key fob.
