Lost your key fob or need to program a new one for your 2002 Honda CRV? Don’t worry, programming your key fob is a straightforward process you can do yourself at home. This guide provides simple, easy-to-follow instructions to get your remote working quickly. Programming a 2002 Honda CRV key fob is easier than you might think and requires no special tools. Let’s get started and regain the convenience of keyless entry.
Before you begin, it’s important to note that initiating the programming mode will erase all previously programmed remotes. Therefore, you will need to reprogram all of your key fobs during this session. Ensure you have all remotes you wish to use ready before starting. Also, each step must be completed within 5 seconds of the last to prevent the system from exiting programming mode prematurely.
Here are the steps to program your 2002 Honda CRV 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 OFF position.
-
Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times, using the same key fob button as in step 2. This means you will cycle through ON, press button, OFF a total of three times.
-
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. If you’ve successfully entered programming mode, the power door locks should cycle (lock then unlock) automatically. This confirms you are ready to program your remotes.
-
For each key fob you wish to program, press the LOCK or UNLOCK button. After pressing a button on each remote, the door locks should cycle again, indicating that the system has accepted the remote’s code.
-
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position (0) to exit the programming mode. The door locks should cycle one final time to confirm exit.
-
Test all of your programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly. Try locking and unlocking the doors, and if your fob has other functions, test those as well.
By following these steps, you should have successfully programmed your 2002 Honda CRV key fobs. Enjoy the convenience of keyless entry once again! If you require a replacement key fob, or additional remotes, visit Keylessentryremotefob.com for a wide selection.
