In this video I show how to program a Honda key FOB transmitter so that it works with the door lock system. If the master power window switch (window control unit) is replaced on older Hondas, this programming must be done. On many older Honda vehicles it is possible to do this programming without the use of a scan tool and I show how in this video.
If the programming is not done, the lock/unlock on the key FOB transmitter will not work and there will be no way to turn off the built in alarm system if it is activated.
The official name for this procedure according to Honda is Keyless Entry Transmitter Programming.
Most newer Hondas, like those with keyless push to start systems, require the use of a Honda factory capable scan tool if any of the remote key FOBs need to be programmed, so if you do not have access to a scan tool the vehicle will need to be taken to a shop that does.
The exact vehicle in this video is a 2004 Honda Accord 2.4L EX sedan.

Why did you replace the master switch? I have a ‘16 Accord LX. This procedure didn’t work for me. Last year bought a new key fob from Honda dealer but we didn’t get it programmed. Last week asked them to program it and they said they can’t as the key fob module is bad. I have a key fob that came with the car when we bought it brand new. Neither the old or new fob are able to lock/unlock the doors following the procedure so my belief is the issue is on the car side. The Service Advisor didn’t want to listen and just went on about how the brand new fob was bad and these key fob designs are bad.
