Question Remote part works, but the car won't start (green key light)

Hi,

I have a 2010 Honda Civic. I've reprogrammed my lost remote key to match my current keys (1 master and 1 remote, both work fine), but my problem is that the "lost" key only locks and unlocks. The green key light turns on when I put the key in position 2 (it doesn't flash until I take it out), and of course, the car doesn't start. Did I do this wrong? Would I have to go to dealer? I just paid to reprogram the keys because of the lost key (a week ago).

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Sounds like the Dealer needs to program the keys to the immobilizer system. Take all the keys and remotes with you.

Maybe they will give you a break since you were just there for this a week ago.

Oh, darn it. Let's hope for that. Toyota wanted to charge me for my other car for all my keys (1 master, 2 keys, 2 remotes), which also got reprogrammed last week. Luckily, Toyota's was a lot easier to reprogram for the lost ones. Thanks.

Paul, this thread is a few years old. Haha. What year is your car?! That's not fair. I had to go to the dealership and pay to get it redone.
