The Honda SMART Key indicator flashes when communication between your vehicle and Honda SMART Key stops after turning the power switch to the (On) position.

It is probably caused by the following:

  • Strong radio waves or noise are affecting the system.
  • You lose the Honda SMART Key while riding.

    • However, this does not affect the operation of your vehicle until the power switch is locked.

    If you turn the power switch to the SEAT, (Off) or (Lock) position while the Honda SMART Key indicator is flashing, the Honda SMART Key indicator will flash faster for about 20 seconds, automatically go off, and then the power switch will lock.
