After replacing the battery on my vehicle the car would not start. The problem is that in the process of changing the battery a fuse was blown. The fuse was in charge of the immobilization system.That is the system that is designed to read the ignition key and make sure that it is in fact the proper key for the vehicle. This is part of the antitheft system. Vehicles can blow fuses for several reasons. It could be a short in the wiring, moisture issues, or very commonly after working on your vehicle. Replacing the battery, replacing the starter, replacing the alternator, replacing the fuel pump, etc.

[@fugegamerguy]

$2 is not a few bucks

[@ThorsDecree]

@@fugegamerguy Seriously? Never mind that you're factually mistaken about what the English word "few" means, it's $2 more than the $0 _you_ gave. According to the Federal Reserve report "Economic Well Being of US Households in 2020 Dealing with Unexpected Expenses," 36% of Americans don't have enough money to cover a $400 emergency expense. I can only imagine that number has risen over the last 3-4 years. It might not be much for you, but for a lot of folks it's not insignificant. Considering that viewing a KZbin video is *_free_* in the first place, it's an infinite % more than was required. For what it's worth, Oxford defines "few" as: pronoun 1. a small number of people or things. "I will recount a few of the stories told me" 2. used to emphasize how small a number of people or things is. "few thought to challenge these assumptions" Is $2 not "a small number of" dollars? If $2 is actually a _lot_ of money for you, post your cashapp and I'll send you $2. TL;DR: Yes, it _literally_ is.

2006, Honda Element. The car doesn't start. The blinking green key comes on and doesn't go off, I checked the under-hood fuse box. #6 ECU 15 amp fuse was bad. Replacement fixed the issue. Thank you all for your time and post. This all helped me to diagnose the issue. I truly appreciate this.

[@shanefinneran2097]

Spot on. Tested every fuse, all checked out. Pulled the ACG S, cleaned and plugged back in. All is working, must have just been loose. Never would have found this otherwise. Saved me $$ and headache. Have a beer on me.

After having the starter replaced (along with a tow to a mechanic, and ride share to home and to work again), key light still blinking, engine still not happy. THIS helped me to fix it in 2 minutes flat! Thank you so very much!!

[@ppalm951]

I have a 2014 Honda Pilot and found your vid. I checked the fuse and even got a brand new one and didn't solve problem. Then I decided to try jumping the battery with my other car. BAM! It started. I immediately replaced the battery. So my car gets the GREEN KEY symbol when battery has failed. So, there's something people can try. But thanks for posting. It helps to consider all possibilities

[@magellanmax]

I tried jumping mine and it started right up. The battery that I have is less than three months old from the dealership. If it does it again it’s going back.

[@AhneCR]

I am up in the cold north and my dear little 2004 Honda with very few miles, turned over but wouldn't catch. I saw the flashing green light, looked it up in the manual, called the helpful Honda dealership and they said it was electrical and needed to be reprogrammed. Called CAA to have it towed as it was in the way of the plow's route. Then, I thought I'd look it up and see if there was any video on it. Sure enough, I found this one and even though my Honda is not the same year and the fuse boxes are not in the same location, I pulled a few things off and found it. Used my keys to pull out the 15 fuse where it had the initials for the fuel immobilizer, or at least I guessed something to that effect. With two keys, I pried the fuse in question out and easily accessed the spare, popped it in and the car turned over like a charm. Thank you "Check It Out"! I cancelled CAA and saved myself who knows how much as the dealership didn't have to look at it!

[@checkitout2468]

Yeah! Great job! So happy that you dug a little deeper to see if you could solve the problem.

[@nathalien4457]

Hi! By chance do you have a Honda Civic? I have a 2013 Honda Civic and I’m wondering if I need to change the same fuse you are talking about. I changed the ACG fuse on the box underneath the drivers wheel and still have this issue. I know it may the the immobilizer or ECU but will rule out this before paying $$$…

[@AhneCR]

@@nathalien4457 Yes, I have a Honda Civic 2004, and followed the video. Found the fuse he was talking about, found the spare, changed it and it worked. I was sure to go out and purchase another fuse to replace the spare. Not sure if this helps but this is exactly what I did. Good Luck!

[@TheHomelandProjectForum]

I had this issue with a 2004 Honda Pilot, but it was intermittent. I found that a tap on the steering wheel allowed the car to start, but that was a temporary fix. After going through all possibilities, including the immobilizer ring suggestion which was ruled out because Honda has discontinued offering this part, I took the car to a mechanic and explained the business with the tapping of the wheel. He called back in an hour or so to inform me the problem was fixed. Apparently there is a little relay box located at the base of the steering column, and by tapping that he was able to start the car. He replaced this unit and no more problem.

2008 Honda Accord is giving me the same issue. Just bought it today! (My luck) I only received a Valet key with no fob. Had no issues with the green key light after 6-7 errands. After reading 199 comments, I was amazed to see someone mention a decorative diamond stick ring being the culprit!! That's the first thing I'm gonna pry off in the morning! I'm gonna guess that even this valet key has a chip that needs to communicate with the system. Fingers crossed for this!

[@wisdomnnanna7874]

Have you fixed yours?

[@jkia9998]

You are still saving owners money. I misread the obd 4 to 9 jumper and blew the same fuse as yours. What was puzzling about it was the engine acted like it wasn’t getting fuel. It would crank over just fine. It had nothing to do with a fuel pump relay or a broken key fob. Thanks again for sharing!!

[@Mtktnstrends]

I was having the same problem today on my Honda Freed. Fortunately my 8yrs old son had told me that I left the dashboard lights on and he put them off. I noticed the battery might have gone down. I recharged it and the problem was solved. Though your video is very informative. A thumbs up from Kenya.

[@sonyarichards2434]

My 2009 Honda CRV also has this ussue. I have been able to fix it every time, and it's happened quite a few times, by removing the key from the ignition, then using the fob to lock then unlock the doors. I then reinsert the key, turn 2 clicks, wait a few seconds then start the car. So far this is work every time for me.

[@natesambo9759]

We had this happen on our 2008 Honda Pilot on one of the keys, but it was starting fine with the Honda factory key and keyfob. What had happened was, we ordered a new keyfob shell for the broken keyfob and it turns out there is a little transponder chip that you have to transfer to the new keyfob. This video helped me track that down so thanks!

[@samanthahall3983]

My dad has been dealing with this issue for THREE YEARS!! Trying everything under the sun with no luck. Countless hours, money down the drain, lots of frustration. Fixed it today!!! Secondary relay on the backside of the fuse box! Green light comes on now to start the car when needed! This secondary relay controls security, fuel pump & 5 other things I can’t remember. side note, we replaced the computer, main relay, immobilizer, switch & key, ect & nothing had worked until now. See countless pages, forums ect on this issue with little to no luck at the end. TRY THIS!!

[@paulgillis8174]

It worked. My 2004 Honda Civic had the flashing key light problem until I replaced the 15 amp fuse for “small light” as indicated in the user manual chart for fuses under the hood. It was number 2 on the chart and and I used one of the spare fuses in the fuse box. Before that I had to turn the key around to stop the flashing and even then I had trouble starting the car.

Spent 10 minutes this morning to pull the ECU and pop that sucker off the board and my car started on the first try!

However, they weren't plastic; turns out they were metal! And that cute little ring was creating a barrier between the key and the ignition and they could not communicate with one another. Silly me.

I just got done replacing the crank position sensor in 25F weather and am about to start pulling my hair out. I had no idea the flashing key light was a warning.

[@standtallvets5386]

What I heard on what the immobilizer actually does is kill the power on the wire going to the fuel pump itself. That's why the engine turns over without starting. That would take running a new wire from a power wire with ignition on, to the pump wire itself, but that also eliminates all that immobilizer BS for good. Mine still works, but a way I'm going to check that is to make a cheap blank key to turn the ignition on and use a volt meter to see if there is power to the fuel pump under the back seat. Of course if the green key light isn't going off because of the immobilizer, that can still be checked with the same key already in the ignition.

Thank you for the detailed explanation in your videos

[@buckethead486]

For me !!!!! I opened my key fob cause sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t. I guess something spilled on my electric components inside and need to be cleaned off. Once everything was cleaned it worked fine !

[@checkitout2468]

That’s great news! Glad it worked out.

Thank you. My fuse didn't say that but it was still a blue 15. It was just dirty and not all the way pressed in

[@GoodxLad]

I somehow broke the reader inside the key. My second key works. Thanks for the help!

Spot #3 on a Honda CRV 2011 and it's a 10A I believe

I have a Honda Accord coup 2013 Suddenly while driving a key low started to flash on the dashboard next to the p/R/D indicator

[@SortItOotMan]

Had this issue on a 2007 CRV iVTEC. Both ignition keys not recognised, flashing key symbol on dash. How I fixed it was by disconnecting the 12v car battery for 5 mins. Reconnected and the fault was cleared and the car started and has been working correctly since.

ok. So you discovered it was your fuse burned out. Thing is, when you find a fuse blown, it means there is a short somewhere in that circuit. You need to find the short to correct the problem Fuses don't go bad on their own ( unless you saw it was corroded) They basically protect your circuit and are a diagnosis tool. You need to check all wires from that circuit. If your car now works with replacing the fuse, it means your car has an intermittent short.

[@checkitout2468]

You’re absolutely right! The short happened when I changed the battery!

[@frankiedoesthegalaxy9177]

@@checkitout2468 you changing battery caused the fuse to burn out? Hmm. I was having issues with my tiny battery so I threw in a full size my friend gave me, now I'm wondering if this may have caused it... For the last month I've had to move the gear shifter around to find the tiny sweet spot that was actually fully in park to turn the car on. That sweet spot went away ...

My 07 Ody got triggered when i reached in through open window and manually unlocked it. Bought it 3 months ago. Didn't get a fob, just two valet keys. Honking stopped after 6p seconds. But power windows and locks won't work, and car won't start. Green key LED keeps blinking like in this vid. I had to get a ride to work, can't wait to try this when i get home. Hope it doesn't rain.

Thanks for the video you helped me. My key fell apart the key was removed from the chip. When I held the chip in my hand and tried to start the car it worked. I subscribed to your channel thank you for your time.

[@mikasajean]

EXCELLENT SINCERELY!!!! Gonna try right now!

[@tboneproductions2453]

Good video. Just need to remember that when doing an ohm or continuity test with a meter, you shouldn’t have power to what your checking.

[@miguellimon2274]

Bingo congratuletion. Gud video tanks

[@cassidyezzi6784]

this was so helpful!!!! thank you so much. just fixed my car

[@daviderhahon]

Nice. But it's better to remove the fuse from the socket before reading it otherwise you could sometimes get a wrong reading.
