This is a warranty repair issue look up Service Bulletin 20-117, for 2016-17 pilots and 2017 ridgeline. American Honda is extending the warranty for the keyless start system on these vehicles to 9 years from the original date of purchase or 125,000 miles, whichever comes first

I bought new remote starter to my 2019 CRV. The engine turn off when I open the door it says keyless system problem. Is this the same issues? They said this is normal for the safety?

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@masarbaghdad8758 I'm not sure, I recommend you have it diagnosed by a pro mechanic!

If it's not a factory starter, I believe that's how they are. Kind of sucks , I know.

How do you disable the auto start/stop function from working at the stop lights. My son's 2016 Honda pilot has this feature and he hates it. He wants to disable or bypass it. Enjoy your videos.
