- How I fixed the "KEYLESS START SYSTEM PROBLEM" on my 2016 Honda Pilot EX-L
I purchased the switch here: www.wholesalehondaparts.com/o...
Honda p/n 35881-TG7-A03, (replaces 35881-TG7-701, 35881-TG7-702, 35881-TG7-A01, 35881-TG7-A02)
This has been happening to us for the past few months. I watched this video and then sent it to my husband. He quickly called our Honda dealership. They told us there was a recall for this problem. They told us to bring it right in and they fixed it for no cost at all!!
I never comment on CZcams videos, but this was the only one that I found that perfectly addressed the problem I was experiencing and gave a great step by step tutorial that was clear and concise. Got the whole thing fixed in less than 10minutes. Thank you!
Thank you. This was my first ever CZcams upload so I'm glad it was helpful.
@@brianmeza7354 Thanks for the "how to" video Brian. Worked perfectly! What's alarming is the failure rate everyone is having. I have a 2016 Pilot so this appears to be a defective product. I had an engine start button on my previous car and never had an issue.
I am a Honda Pilot owner 2016 touring with same issue I am gonna try to do this repair myself but a little worried
Didn't work for me. Very informative and helpful video. I got the part switched out very easily following your instructions, but still getting the same error message.
@@joshuagratopp8040 the internet says that this issue should be fixed by replacing the BCM. A lot of cases were fixed by this procedure
I never thought I could do this on my own. Never tried to fix a car problem before. This is a very helpful video that guided me through step by step. I had to pause the video several times. I resolved the issue within 15 minutes. No more keyless issue signal and worries about whether the car can be started or not next time. Thank you so much for the help.
Yes. It is really this easy. Ordered the part on-line. Had it installed and working in less than 10-minutes after the part showed up at my door. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Brian...took me 5 minutes to change in my 2016 Pilot. Everything now seems fine. Appreciate you taking the time to share this simple fix with us. Saved me some dollars.
Just replaced mine with the help of your video! Probably took 10 minutes tops. I was a little hesitant on pulling so hard on the panels to pop them out. But they came out and back in just fine. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Thank you!!! The push start was giving me problems for months. I ordered the push start from here months ago but was hesitant to install it. Then the warning message came on yesterday and it stayed on. So I sent this video to my husband and it took him 10 mins to install it for me and problem solved!!!! I’m soo happy...this headache went away! Thank you!
I just did this in 5 minutes!!! Thank you. Ordered the part from your link in description and replaced myself on my 2016 pilot elite! Dealership wanted $400! Part was only $70 plus shipping. Labor was free 😀 Well I’ll pay myself later with a new dress from the money I saved!
Thank you for this video. I went to the parts department to get one and they informed me that they extended the warranty on these for 9 years. Check with your dealer before you look to change this.
Thank you , Brian for this video and clear instructions! We took into the dealer who installed some other part and charged us $300 only to have the keyless starter light continue to come back on. Instead of taking it back to the dealer (would have charged couple of hundred dollars...) we ordered the part and followed the video and finished at the same time (about 7 minutes). It worked~thank you again!
OMG! I just did it! I was so afraid but in order to save the money I was determined to try, it took me 10 minutes!
Thank you , thank you you saved me $370. It’s only $370 because the dealer charged me $130 when I told them NOPE you will not fix my car, when I heard that $500 quote. Oh well lesson learned, I’m staying away from the dealer.
Thank you Brian for this. This fixed my problem and it only took less than a few minutes to replace.
One thing to note for other's experience this issue, first replace your FOB battery as this will cause this issue too. Then if you are experience the problem still, then follow Brian's instructional video
Thank you so much! Just fixed my 2016 pilot! SO easy by pulling and pushing in the exact same places you did! Very sad that so many people have this issue and it’s not yet a service bulletin, clearly they had issues.
Thank you so much. Had problem for months and after a simple fix all my headaches went away. You are a life saver!
Thank you. Nice how such a big problem can be fixed so easily!
Brian - thank you for posting. It really was as simple as you say it is. Dealer wanted over $400 for repair. Part was $65 online, but I didn’t want to wait to replace so paid steep $104 at dealer for part. To anyone else watching this and is unsure... yes you can do it.
Thank you Brian bought the switch on eBay and had auto sound install it saved me big bucks. You are a life saver for us who have this problem.
Thank you Brian for this video! I know nothing about cars and fixed this issue in ten minutes! One of the best instructional CZcams videos out there!
In and out in 10 min! Works perfect! Wish all the jobs could be this easy! Thank you again for the video!!
I’ve had this issue for many months, with the engine light in stating a fab issue. While it still worked I was concerned with the upcoming State inspection. So I followed your tutorial and damned if didn’t work in the first attempt. This video was on the money, and I thank you.
I followed your instructions and saved over $280 in labor from the dealer!!! Many thanks! Awesome job!
I never comment on videos, but I replaced the part for $50 and did it in less than 10 minutes. I am NOT a car guy and you made it very easy. Thank you.
I have the same problem with my wife's car! Thanks for the video. I know it is hard to film and work at the same time!
You just saved me a bunch of money and frustration. Thanks for making such a clear and concise video.
Life changing video right here! I can’t thank you enough! For years I drove my car with the stupid “remote keyless start” error issue crap always resetting the battery to make it go away. This is the video I was looking for and it sure made a huge difference. Easy to do DIY, totally worth it!! 💯🙌🏼
Thank you for posting this video. I ordered the part & installed in less then 10 min. The Honda dealer wanted close to $400 for part and labor for what they said may be a 2 day job!
Thanks Brian this was a money saver, your tutorial is easy to understand and went to the point! Took me 5 minutes after I saw your video. Thanks again
I also would like to say thank you It took about 10 to 15 minutes. As other people have said you feel a little strange yanking on the plastic but no problems whatsoever thank you again
Thanks for making this video! I have a 2016 Pilot that had this issue for months. I took it to the dealer and they wanted to charge $500.00. I paid $74.25 (including expedited shipping) online and made the repair in no more than 10 min. No reprogramming keys necessary either. Thanks again!
Great!! It is shocking that the dealer adds $425 for part cost markup and 10 minutes of labor. Good job!
I have the same problem. I ordered the switch today. It only cost me $65 after shipping. Thanks for sharing this simple fix with us!
Where did you order from ? My local dealer wants $115
Thanks for your video. It took me 3 minutes to replace it. Even my daughter watch me doing it and was amazed. Thank you.
Rarely comment on videos but literally took my 5 minutes..great info way easier than the time I relied on CZcams to replace my alternator lol thanks again
Just ordered the part which is on sale under your description link $70 .....I have the exact same model as you 2016 EX-L Honda Pilot. Thanks for the video..... looking forward to replacing it as soon as it arrives.
Fine job Fella! You saved me some money and from being robbed at the dealer! Thank you.
Thank you, I appreciate the video. Following this, I was able to fix mine in less than 10 minutes. I couldn't believe it was actually as easy as you made it look!
Thats awesome, good job to you!
Just did this this on my 2016 Pilot and keyless system problem code went away but as someone said here the walk-away auto-door lock feature was not working until I let it sit little over 30 min after removing battery wire. Took me like 5min to change it out 👍🏻👍🏻 thanks again!
I got the extended warranty notice but The dealer didn’t want to do it since my car has salvage title so this vid was helpful and cost me total $87 (used the link in description to purchase the part)
Thank you for your clear and concise instructions - seriously, it takes longer to watch the video than to actually replace the switch - and I'm not knocking the length of your video by any means.
Thanks! It took me around 5 minutes!! Never thought I could do this. My wife was impressed! Thanks again from Chile.
In the US, Honda is now offering a warranty extension on this part to 9 years. If you get a "Keyless Start System Error" take it to the dealer for a free diagnostic and replacement if you have a 2016-2017 Pilot and 2017 Ridgeline. You can get reimbursed for a prior fix if you already replaced it. Now I just need to find my receipt from when I followed your tutorial to fix this.
Received a letter from Honda today indicating that this is an issue. They will fix it at the dealership. I'm going to try to submit for reimbursement of the part since I did it myself with the help of this video.
Very clear and concise! Bonus for showing how to put everything back together! Thanks so much!!
Thank you, Brian!!! Your video is very helpful to fix this problem. I wouldn't have the confident as I did without viewing your video. Awesome works!!!
Absolutely PERFECT fix. Worked like a charm. Thanks so much!
Amazing work from a licensed mechanic
Thank you Same problem from past 4 months !! resolved !!
Thanks for the video! Evidently Honda will replace this for free now..they are extending the warranty on the 2016 pilot to 125,000 miles
or 9 years. Service Bulletin 20-117 I've read on Piloteers that this doesn't make it go way, that there is a control module
behind the glove box that may need to be replaced. Honda should make this a recall!
Thank you so much! I recently sat working and I needed to save a lot of save money this video save me a bunch thank you for your hard work and posting this online so that other people can learn from your experience exclamation part
Great video straight and to the point. Dealership charged me $107 for the part and wanted another $150 in Labor.
Thanks a lot. Ordered a new part 35881-TG7-A04. It appears A04 superceded A03 and A02 by my research. The OEM part costs more but rest assured. It took only 5 mins! Thanks again Brian!
Sir, thank you so much for uploading this video.
I replaced the button, in less than 15 minutes.
You have saved me $$$.
👏👏👏👏👏👏

Just changed mines in 5 mins, great video!
we had the same problem, and it's now fixed by following your video. thank you!
5 min fix thanks, got my genéric switch on amz $51 bucks , followed your instructions and done. Tks for posting
Outstanding!!! Honda wanted to charge me $350+ to do this job that took me 12 minutes by following this video. Only had to pay $70 for the part. Very helpful video.
I have a 2016 Honda Pilot and am thinking about giving this fix a try. I have the dreaded “Keyless Start Problem” error message. This doesn’t have any impact on the key fob, does it?
No way thanks
No impact to key fobs. Still working great
.
Brian, you're the man. Thank you for posting this.
Just fixed it and it worked perfectly. Thanks!
June 2023 and my 2016 pilot start button started to act up. Took me 8 minutes to complete. Thank you for the video.
Thank you so much. I just fixed my husbands car. Of course he didn't believe me, when I told him I would fix it. :) It was just as easy as in your video and it isn't hard to unhook the cover from the dashboard either. Thanks again :)
That's great! Congrats and good job in getting it fixed!
Thank you for your user-friendly video. I was able to complete the change in less than 20 minutes.
Hey Bud, thanks for making this video. I had the same issue and just replaced the button in about 5 mins. Thanks a lot for the tips. The keyless start system error has gone for now. Let’s see if it comes back.
Thank you!!! This was so easy and took minutes. Total life saver!!!!! If anyone is unsure about this, just follow the video and it goes super smooth. Just be careful getting the first panel off, you don't want to scratch the plastic. Thanks again.
James Kelly does your walk away lock feature still work. Can you please let me know James kelly.
@@gabrielmendoza1978 I have not noticed. I will check and get back to you.
@@gabrielmendoza1978 It's been 2 weeks and every function works as new
Thanks for the tutorial Brother. Your video saved me couple of hundred bucks in diagnostics and labor services! I appreciate it!
Big thank you for this video!! There’s no way I could have fixed the issue without your video!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Glad to hear, thanks!
Brian you da man! My 2016 Pilot Elite same issue, 3 minute fix, just awesome! Thanks for posting!
Thank you.... This was my first ever CZcams video so I am happy to know it was helpful to so many people.
Thanks so much for this video. It worked like a charm. One minor suggestion. Removing the left side panel first made it even easier.
Thank you very much. Dealer quoted $230 labor and literally took ten minutes from start to finish.
2017 Honda Pilot Touring. Worked like a charm. Thanks!
Same comments as many others... thank you! Great video with perfect instructions. This worked perfectly and saved its big $$$!
This video saved me soooo much money and time. Fixed the issue! THANK YOU!
So I see this is an issue that all Honda pilots have!! This should be a recall, but thank you much, my husband, and I will be doing this...
Thank you for this clear and easy video!! I feel like I can absolutely do this myself. :)
Thanks! Took me less than 5 minutes works like magic. Great video!
Amazingly easy. I just did this in a parking lot while waiting for my takeout!! Thanks so much!!!
Great!! And how was the food?
Ha!!! I’m still waiting!!!
Thank you. People like you are lifesaver
Dude! You're a life saver! You saved me $400! Thank you!
Great video. I finally opened up the dashboard myself. I took out the switch. I was under an impression that I could repair the switch after watching another youtube video for a different Honda vehicle. I did open up the switch and found it to have a different switch construction. So I put the switch back together. I reconnected the same switch back and the error message went away...... Let's see if it stays that way.
Wow I had same problem ordered part online and it was like 5 minutes job very helpful I did it my self went to Honda dealers and they want it like $500+ do it ur self guys u will save a lots of money
This video was so helpful. Gave me confidence to tackle the job myself. It worked perfectly! Thanks so much.
Good to hear, thanks!
Just changed mine. Problem fixed. Thanks for the video.
You saved me $$$. Great video that gave me the confidence to DIY. Less than 5 minutes. Thank you thank you thank yo!!
Thanks for the video. Very informative. I will add there's no need for the screwdriver. You dont have to take out the screw. Everything pops out.
Thanks for the video. I just swapped out my ignition switch that was failing and giving us the same keyless error message, as well as the inability to start on every attempt.
What a phenomenal video. Great job. Explaining and guiding through
Mine broke too. HRV ex 2016. Seem like a common problem. Thanks for showing us
I used this video to change the switch on my 2017 Honda Ridgeline. The only difference is that there are *two* screws on the left side. Thank you!
Thank you for this video! I salute you for doing this in 97 degree weather!
Good observation. It was H.O.T. that day!!
Just want to say thanks for the video. Took 5-10 min. Following your direction, $80 for the switch...done!
Thats great, glad to hear it. Feels good to save money.
Amazing!! Super easy and fixed it right up. Thanks, bud!
Thanks for your help! My car showed this message and on the next trip it wouldn't start. I had to wait about 30 min for it to start and went straight to the dealer. $103 after taxes unfortunately.
U got a deal. Most want 400/600
I thank you so much for the help on changing this out. it was a great step by step video. Thanks again brotha🙏🤘
I received a letter from Honda about a month ago that I think was about this issue and they are extending the warranty to 150,000 miles or 10 years. I have a 2016 EX-L with NAV and have the same error. I also have the MIL issue that I also received a warranty extension letter today and Honda recommends having both repaired ASAP. Gonna call my dealer to have both repairs done under warranty.
Fantastic video! This is exactly what I needed.
For those that have this warning and it does not accompany a code, Honda will deem it not covered under the extended warranty. For clarification, this is not a recall error. If you take it to a Honda dealership, you will be subject to paying the $179 diagnostic fee, which can be applied to fixing the problem. In other words, if you do not have the code, follow the guidance of this video.
Why isn't this a recall? Interesting how it seems to be a problem within 15k miles after the warranty expires. Seems like so many people are having this problem that Honda should fix it for free.
Thank you for this video Brian. Im having the same issue. I was curious and called Honda to get a quote for this issue and was told they can only give a average quote. They quote $400 - $600 lmao! I asked what is the price for just the part and was told they dont sell this item. I guess because you can get it for around $50 in Amazon lol!
Thanks a lot for posting this video! Came in real handy just now...
I agree with other commenters, I NEVER comment on videos but this was concise and to the point step-by-step directions. 5 - 10 minutes at most to fix. Dealership would have probably charged another $20 for the part and $70-100 labor. You saved me time driving there and at least $100. Thanks Brian!!!!!
I have same problem,.... and since it has become a recognized problem with Honda it is now under warranty extension. Great video btw
You just saved me $600. Thanks for sharing this!!!🎉
Wow thanks for the video. It took between 5-10 minutes to do it. I saved some money. Thanks
Thats great!! Congrats!!
Awesome video and so well explained! Cheers mate!
