- EDIT: Forget to mention in video car would also at times die while driving without warning causing the green key light to flash replacing this part also resolved this part of the issue!
Issue solved! No crank no start, no green light key on dashboard. Replacing pgmfi main relay solved the issue and saved me hundreds ...hope this helps someone! Fixing honda accord with pgmfi relay green key issue - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Just saved me $$$$ and fixed my problems. Had the exact issues, even dying on me while driving on the road. Thank you!
Awesome love to hear this helping so many people!!
THANKS PROBLEM FIXED
You are the Man, after 3 months of dealing with this problem and changed few things, tried to find your video and today thank God I found it,a mechanic supposed to change the ignition switch tomorrow but guess what? Not any more cause you fixed it for me pretty much...My very sincere big Thank you 😊😊😊😊😊👍
I am trying to get Miley car fixed I got the same problem
Hi there! I also have a 2001 Honda Accord Coupe V6 and my problem was my green key light would come on while I was driving, and my car would die. It was getting worse and worse to where it happened 5 times in one day no matter where I was. Then I had to wait to start it again because when I tried, my green key light would not come on just like in your video. Was told by several mechanics that it was my fuel pump or a faulty key or faulty ignition, but I knew better. i've been searching this problem for weeks and prayed for God for Wisdom and to llead me to someone who knows what is going on. Then I found your video and it was almost exactly what my problem was. I changed out mine just like you did and drove it all day yesterday, and didn't have any problems. The amazing thing is that just like me, you are not a mechanic! Thank God I found your video. Well done!!
Ha that's awesome! So glad this was helpful! I was told the exact same issues and my car would also die with the green light coming on would spook me sometimes especially when it would die on the freeway with nowhere to pull off!
Also just want to say since replacing this approx. 6 months ago the issue has not come back :) best part was it was free to see if replacing part would resolve issue thanks to autozone
@@kahn9950 Oh okay. I wasn't sure your card died like mine did because you didn't mention it, but when you said the green key light wouldn't come on I knew I was on to something! I've been driving it steady since I put it in yesterday and have had no issues since!! These auto shops would of charged hundreds of dollars and Honda more than a grand and I bet they wouldn't have figured it out!! Thanks again!!
Where van i buy this part
AutoZone has it
Amit is also correct if you can’t afford $60 at this time. I just tap lightly on the underside of my steering box cover, and the green key appears. This has worked well now for a few weeks while I search for answer to problem with my work truck. It also has began happening less often than before. Good luck.
That works until it doesn’t 😭
Thank you so much for this information. I have been experiencing this issue for the last year and my mechanic request that I replace the fuse box that would have cost me over $1K or it was the crank shaft sensor that is all over $500.00 to replace. So many examples but not the issue and you have me the answer. I will go and have this replaced today.
Very happy to hear :)
I have this exact problem! I sure will try replacing this module. Thank you for posting this, as it's been a very troublesome issue!
Best of luck! Hope it works out, let me know! Seems to be solving the issue for a lot more people than I had imagined
Thank you sir for sharing your video. I've been working on this issue for 3 months trying to avoid mechanic bill and you're the first one is actually had any relevance in regard to the green light not coming on.
You are very welcome glad it helped !
Can you tell me where is the obd port of this car?
Works like a charm
Mine has been doing this for awhile now and I took the ignition assembly out and missed and bumped the little circuit board that's around the key against the metal and burnt the dang circuit. I wish I had seen your video before I tore into my ignition because I think the relay is bad. Now I'll probably have to buy another assembly unless I can figure out how to eliminate the key altogether and just put a switch in it's place.
Just tap under the cover of steering wheel maybe it’s work.
Hello, where is the obd port of this car?
Yes ! For the 2001 accord 4 cyl. The OBD is located DIRECTLY above the hood release lever. I'm unsure how to send a photo on here. I have seen some older models where its actually behind the shifter so you must turn the key to pos. 2 & pull the shifter all the way back & it will be behind an ashtray. I have also seen on a different year the OBD being located behind a patch of carpet on the passenger side. For the 2001 it's %100 above the latch release though!
🎉❤
Thanks bro your video saved the day because my car would not want to start and turned off on me twice on the freeway and was very dangerous you saved my life lol
Hahaha super glad I helped out yeah that happened to me scared me as well LOL I'm amazed at how many people have had success with this video I thought no one would even see it
@@kahn9950 it is super scary ,you saved a lot of lives bro I think your video is the only one that is really helpful thank you for your videos keep up the good work 👍🏼
Bros! Same issue to a T. Car wouldn’t start and I noticed once the green key on the dash came on the car would start. This morning on my way to work, car shut off completely but tuned again once the green dash key lit up. Been on a sick one trying to figure this out. Thank you for the vid, I’ll let you know if changing the main relay was the problem. I’m 99% sure it is.
@robg951 hah! Awesome I'm super glad this video seems to be helping a lot of people, I searched for hours on end...days perhaps before stumbling on a Honda forum that was archived from like 2006 to figure this out lol. I'd suggest just swapping it out in autozone parking lot & if it doesn't fix issue they can refund you right there
@@kahn9950 so far so sure dude. I’m ecstatic! I’ll be back in a week for the update.
Hey my check light it's on and my green light keep cutting on and of
In a 02 Honda Accord
Yeah that's the same issue I was having before this fix. It started by the green light not showing when trying to turn over the ignition resulting in the car to not start. It then got worse each day to where I would have to turn key back and forth 100 times before it would show the light THEN the car actually started dying while I was driving causing the green light to blink before it died....did you try to replace the part I showed in video??
BUT let me say my check engine light was NOT ON when I was having this issue so possibly something else?
I have a 91 accord thats Not doing anything When i put my Key In it now , i tryed to jump start it and i still get nothing so i bought a new battery Still nothing 🤦♂️ But the Horn works Blinkers Come On 😮💨
My car can drive but it would shut off and do the exact same thing yours is doing, hopefully that fixes the problem
yes i had same issue of car cutting off while driving and the key light would flash on dashboard (even at high speeds, very dangerous) I forgot to mention that the issue also happened while I was driving NOT just idle
Can you help? I replaced my main relay. I'm not getting my green key quick flashes in on. I get green key flashing after I take the key out.
hmmm first I just want to say If I remember correctly I had the issue both ways also would cut off while driving or not start at all. If you have already replaced the relay I cannot recommend anything else since I am defiantly not a mechanic BUT I can say some things a few different mechanics told me may be suspect would be immobilizer unit, faulty wiring, need new key etc.. Best of luck hope you get it working :) Also check all fuses
I'm pretty 😢. I will get another new main relay in case the one I bought 3 months ago was bad. I now get the quick green key flash in on mode and I hear a click under dash now. Next up might replace immobilizer unit.
I’m having the same issue you are, me and my dad are thinking it’s the ignition switch but we’re still not sure. If you figure anything out please let me know
@@shanetorres187 I talked to another mechanic. He said it looks like the ignition switch might be the issue for my 2001 Honda Accord. The switch should be 60. And the labor for a mechanic might be 180. But do research. It's not hard to replace. Your car ya might haveta get the full ignition switch with wiring.
My mechanic is now looking into my computer. He thinks it got wet and I think something shorted. This should fix my car after 4 months, lok
Location relay???
The relay is located just above the brake pedal ( I point up to it with my foot in video, you will need to lay on your back to access) I also show what the part looks like in the video , also it's easy to see as it's a larger part and easy to spot ! Hope this helps if you need anymore help feel free to comment again hope this helps
Will you just tell us
PGMFI Main relay ( I used duralast) - located under steering well directly above the brake pedal. Good luck, also there is a fast forward button fyi OR scroll through the comments if you dont have the patience for a few minute video 😎
@@kahn9950 I actually seen this earlier today before I watched your video very helpful tried to pull it out but didn't know it had to be released a certain way
How was it free? Lmao
At the time of filming this as I said it's free to test and see if replacing the relay solves your issue or not. You can go to autozone and install the part in the parking lot to see if it fixes your issue, if not, you can return the part right then and there for free. Be sure to ask your local part store to confirm but yes, its free to try
