Are you looking to program a new key fob for your 2004 Honda Odyssey? It’s a common need, whether you’ve lost a remote or simply want to have an extra one on hand. Fortunately, programming a key fob for your 2001-2004 Honda Odyssey is a straightforward process you can do yourself at home, without needing special tools. This guide will walk you through each step to get your new remote working with your vehicle’s keyless entry system.
Here’s how to program your 2004 Honda Odyssey key fob:
-
Turn the Ignition to the ‘ON’ Position (II). Insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the ‘ON’ position. This is the position right before you would start the engine. Make sure you do this step within 4 seconds of starting the programming sequence.
-
Press the ‘LOCK’ or ‘UNLOCK’ Button on the Remote. Within 4 seconds of turning the ignition to ‘ON’, take your key fob remote and press either the ‘LOCK’ or ‘UNLOCK’ button. Ensure you are pointing the remote towards the receiver, which is typically located near the glove box area in your Honda Odyssey.
-
Turn the Ignition to the ‘LOCK’ Position (0). Again, within 4 seconds of pressing the button on your remote, turn the ignition key back to the ‘LOCK’ (or ‘OFF’) position. This is position 0, where you can remove the key.
-
Repeat Steps 1-3 Two More Times. You will need to repeat the sequence of turning the ignition to ‘ON’, pressing a button on the remote, and then turning the ignition back to ‘LOCK’ two more times. Make sure to use the same remote you used in step 2 for these repetitions. This repetition is crucial for entering the programming mode.
-
Turn the Ignition to ‘ON’ Position (II) Again. After completing the three cycles of steps 1-3, turn the ignition switch to the ‘ON’ position one last time within 4 seconds.
-
Press the ‘LOCK’ or ‘UNLOCK’ Button on the Same Remote. Within 4 seconds of turning the ignition to ‘ON’ in this step, press the ‘LOCK’ or ‘UNLOCK’ button on the same remote you have been using. If you have successfully entered programming mode, the power door locks should cycle (lock and unlock) automatically. This confirms that your Odyssey is ready to learn the new key fob. Press the ‘LOCK’ or ‘UNLOCK’ button again on the same remote.
-
Program Additional Remotes (If Necessary). If you have additional key fobs you want to program, now is the time. Within 4 seconds of the door locks cycling, press the ‘LOCK’ or ‘UNLOCK’ button on each additional remote you wish to program. 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.
-
Turn the Ignition to ‘LOCK’ Position (0) to Exit Programming Mode. Once you have programmed all desired remotes, turn the ignition switch back to the ‘LOCK’ (or ‘OFF’) position (0). This will exit the programming mode.
-
Test Your Remotes. Finally, test each of your programmed 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 be able to successfully program your 2004 Honda Odyssey key fob. This procedure is designed for the OUCG8D-440H-A key fob, which is compatible with Honda Odyssey models from 2001 to 2004.
