How do I resync my Acura key fob?
If your Acura key fob is not working properly, it may need to be resynced with your vehicle. This is a simple process that can be done at home without the need for a trip to the dealership. In this article, we'll guide you through the steps to resync your Acura key fob and get it working again.
Why Resync Your Acura Key Fob?
There are a few common reasons why you may need to resync your Acura key fob:
- The key fob's battery has been replaced, causing it to lose its sync with the vehicle.
- The key fob has been dropped or damaged, disrupting the communication between the fob and the vehicle.
- The key fob has been programmed to a different vehicle, and needs to be reprogrammed to your Acura.
Resyncing the key fob is a simple process that can restore the communication between the fob and your Acura, allowing you to regain full functionality of your key.
Steps to Resync Your Acura Key Fob
Locate the emergency key inside your key fob. This is usually a small, removable metal key that can be used to unlock your Acura's doors manually.
Insert the emergency key into the driver's side door lock and turn it to the unlock position.
Within 5 seconds, press and hold the lock and unlock buttons on your key fob simultaneously until the door locks cycle (usually about 5 seconds).
Remove the emergency key from the door lock. Your key fob should now be resynced with your Acura.
If the key fob still does not work after following these steps, you may need to replace the battery or have the key fob reprogrammed by a professional. However, in most cases, this simple resyncing process should restore the functionality of your Acura key fob.
