Are you having trouble with your 1997 Honda Crv Key Fob? Perhaps it’s stopped working, or you’ve replaced the battery and now it needs reprogramming. Don’t worry, programming your key fob for your 1997 Honda CRV is a straightforward process you can do yourself at home. This guide will walk you through each step to get your keyless entry system working again quickly.
Before you begin, it’s important to understand that entering programming mode will erase all previously programmed remotes. Therefore, you will need to reprogram all of your key fobs at the same time if you have more than one. Make sure you have all your remotes ready before starting the process. Also, each step needs to be completed within 5 seconds of the last to prevent the system from exiting programming mode prematurely.
Here’s how to program your 1997 Honda CRV key fob:
-
Turn the Ignition ON: Insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position (II). This is the position just before you would start the engine.
-
Press Lock or Unlock: Take one of your key fobs (it can be a new, unprogrammed remote) and press either the LOCK or UNLOCK button.
-
Turn the Ignition OFF: Turn the ignition key back to the LOCK (0) position, effectively turning the car off.
-
Repeat Steps 1-3 Twice: Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times, using the same key fob you used in step 2. This means you will be cycling the ignition ON, pressing a button on the fob, and then OFF, for a total of three times in a row.
-
Turn the Ignition ON Again: Turn the ignition switch back to the ON (II) position one last time.
-
Press Lock or Unlock (Same Remote): Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the same remote you have been using throughout this process. If you have successfully entered programming mode, the power door locks should cycle (lock then unlock) automatically. This confirms you are ready to program your remotes.
-
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 door locks should cycle again, indicating that the system has accepted and learned that remote’s signal.
-
Turn Ignition OFF to Exit: Once you have programmed all your desired key fobs, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position to exit the programming mode.
-
Test Your Remotes: Finally, 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.
