Keyless buttons intermittent
My keyless buttons are getting worse about sometimes taking several presses to operate, both lock and unlock (the led is not coming on until it finally does work)
If I change out the 72147-SNA-A01 "keyless module assy" would this also affect immobilizer as well ??
Thanks,

Try changing the battery or taking your key fob apart and cleaning the contacts first?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: Keyless buttons intermittent
Craig, yours is a 10?
Take a key apart. Find the transponder (RFID) chip. Gray rectangle 17mmx3mm.
One type is embedded in the head of the key outside of the transmitter, next to the shaft of the key.
The newer type has the transponder bar soldered onto the remote circuit board, plainly visible next to the battery area once you take the back off to see the battery
===============================================
Initial SWAG was this:
Without actually having one in front of me to look, I'm gonna say it must be programmed by the HDS for the immobilizer, and the transmitter is automatically registered at the same time during the process.
You know how to program transmitters on older cars, right? Key on, push a button, repeat until locks cycle etc.... Try that with your car. If it will enter the programming mode manually, that should answer your question. I'm pretty sure it won't enter that mode.

Needs an HDS to program, or maybe a locksmith that has the ability to program Hondas Immobi keys. Either way, it is not a DIY.

Take the board out of the rubber boot. See what you can do?
