Replacing the Honda SMART Key Battery

When the Honda SMART Key indicator is flashing while the electrical system is on

The Honda SMART Key indicator flashes when communication between your vehicle and Honda SMART Key stops after turning on the electrical system.

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 electrical system is off.


    You may not be able to turn off the electrical system when losing the Honda SMART Key while riding, or if the battery is low, or because the system is affected by strong radio waves or noise. If this occurs, turn the ignition switch knob / (Off/Lock) counterclockwise and hold it until the electrical system shut off.

    You can also turn off the electrical system by turning the ignition switch knob / (Off/Lock) counterclockwise 3 times within 3 seconds.

  • Turn signals blink at the beginning and end of this function.

  • If you do not have the Honda SMART Key, the electrical system can be activated in another way.
