Is your 1999 Honda Accord key fob no longer working, or did you recently purchase a replacement remote? Programming your key fob yourself can save you time and money compared to visiting a dealership. This guide provides simple, step-by-step instructions to program your 1999 Honda Accord key fob quickly and easily at home.
Before you begin, please note that initiating the programming sequence will erase all previously programmed remotes. Therefore, you will need to reprogram all of your key fobs during this process, not just the new one. Ensure you have all remotes you intend to use with your vehicle present before starting. It’s also crucial to complete each step within 5 seconds of the last to prevent the system from exiting programming mode prematurely.
Here’s how to program your 1999 Honda Accord key fob:
-
Turn the 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 remote is currently programmed or not for this step.
-
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position (0), which is the position where you can remove your key.
-
Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times, using the same key fob button as in step 2. So, you will have cycled the ignition ON, pressed the button, and turned 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 on the same key fob used in step 2 again. If you have successfully entered programming mode, the power door locks should cycle (lock and then unlock) automatically. This confirms you are now ready to program your remotes.
-
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 remote, the door locks should cycle again to confirm that the system has accepted the signal from that remote.
-
Once you have programmed all desired key fobs, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position (0) to exit programming mode.
-
Test each of your programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly by pressing the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons and verifying the door locks respond as expected.
If you encounter any difficulties during this programming process, or if you prefer to have a professional handle the programming for you, consider searching for a local key fob programming service in your area. They can provide expert assistance and ensure your key fobs are programmed correctly.
