Honda Accord: Transmitter Test

NOTE: • If the doors unlock or lock with the transmitter, but the LED on the transmitter does not come on, the LED is faulty; replace the transmitter.

• If any door is open, you cannot lock the doors with the transmitter. Opening the trunk does not cancel this function; only an open door signal cancels the automatic relock.

• If you unlocked the doors with the transmitter, but do not open any of the doors within 30 seconds, the doors relock automatically.

• The doors do not lock or unlock with the transmitter if the ignition key is inserted in the ignition switch.
