Honda SMART Key Indicator

Replacing the Honda SMART Key Battery

When the Honda SMART Key indicator is flashing while the ignition switch is in the (On) position

The Honda SMART Key indicator flashes when communication between your vehicle and Honda SMART Key stops after turning the ignition 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 ignition switch is locked.

If you turn the ignition switch to the (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 ignition switch will lock.

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

To stop this flashing, press and hold the ignition switch for more than 2 seconds. After the flashing stop, the ignition switch is locked.

If you do not have the Honda SMART Key, the ignition switch can be unlocked in another way.
