Lost your key fob or need to program a new one for your 2006 Acura TSX? You can easily program up to four remote transmitters for your Acura TSX’s keyless entry system. This guide provides a simple, step-by-step process to program your 2006 Acura TSX key fob yourself, saving you time and money compared to dealership programming.
Before you begin the 2006 Acura Tsx Key Fob Programming procedure, ensure all doors, the hood, and the trunk lid are closed, and all windows are rolled up. It’s crucial to adhere to the time limits between each step to successfully program your key fob. Follow these instructions carefully:
-
Turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position. The dashboard lights should illuminate.
-
Within 1 to 4 seconds of turning the ignition ON, press the lock or unlock button on your key fob transmitter. Aim the transmitter towards the keyless receiver unit. This unit is typically located behind the driver’s side of the dashboard.
-
Within 1 to 4 seconds after pressing the key fob button, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
-
Again, within 1 to 4 seconds of turning the ignition OFF, turn the ignition switch back to the ON (II) position.
-
Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the lock or unlock button on the transmitter again, aiming at the keyless receiver unit.
-
Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch OFF once more.
-
Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch back to the ON (II) position.
-
Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the transmitter lock or unlock button again, directed at the keyless receiver.
-
Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch OFF.
-
Within 1 to 4 seconds, turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position for the final time in this sequence.
-
Within 1 to 4 seconds, press the transmitter lock or unlock button, pointing it at the receiver unit.
-
Listen for the sound of the door lock actuators. You should hear them activate within 1 to 4 seconds, indicating the system has entered programming mode. Immediately press the lock or unlock button on the key fob again to confirm the code storage. If you don’t press the button again, the code will not be saved.
-
If you have additional key fobs to program (up to two more), aim each transmitter at the keyless receiver and press the lock or unlock button within 10 seconds of programming the first key fob. You should hear the door lock actuators confirm the storage of each additional transmitter code.
-
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and remove the key from the ignition.
-
Test each programmed transmitter to ensure proper operation of the lock and unlock functions.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully complete the 2006 Acura TSX key fob programming process. This method allows you to program your key fobs without needing specialized tools or a trip to the dealership. Always double-check that your doors lock and unlock correctly with each programmed key fob to confirm successful programming.
