So a couple weeks ago my car wouldnt start, no click or anything, so i pulled the key out and put it back in and it started and i thought nothing of it. This past Weds, i went to pick up some food for dinner and came back out and now it wont start at all. I replaced the key in the fob since it was about 3 years old, even though it unlocked the doors just fine.
So, the key light stays blinking during this and the TC light stays lit the whole time (this is abnormal to me). I dont know why the fob would just undo it self from the car in 15 mins, so im wondering if its maybe the clutch switch or something else. Car has just under 120k on it.
Should i bother trying to associate it with the car again? I had to buy a new one three years ago and the dealer had to do it with their computer since the normal procedure wouldnt work. Also the door locking has never worked as long as ive owned it.
1. He is curious.
2. He has the same problem and hoping to resolve it.
3. He wants to advertise his website, Kingz & Queenz Car Club, without actually advertising it.

First time for me was BCM this time was PATS system. @Archerfish nah I don't wanna plug KQ here lol i know better than plugging my own club in another group.
ACURA AND HONDA SECURITY SYSTEM RESET INFORMATION Call to the dealer and this was their response: Unlock the car with the key fob then get into the car and close the door. Insert the key into the ignition and turn the key on and wait for 90 seconds.
After approx. 60 seconds the immobilizer light stopped flashing. At 90 seconds the check engine light turned off and back on.
So the issue has been reoccurring. Last two times the trick posted above fixed it but not now. Car is dead.
Took the battery to have it tested and it passed. Just bought a new Energizer Alkaline battery for the fob and will again a bit later.
Any ideas on what to check? Mechanic that tested the battery said it could be the BCM/ECM.
Can someone please check under the dash, driver's side, upwards of the pedals to see where does this green wire goes?
Looks like a ground wire but maybe for something aftermarket.
My 6 has been at the shop for a week now. Mechanic took a look at it and the ECU is not communicating.
I also could not connect my BT OBDII reader to it the night it broke down.
My mechanic thinks it could be a loose/corroded wire somewhere, finding it will take time so I decided to not put any pressure on him and let him work on it whenever he has spare time.
I hope he finds the issue before the bill climbs to a point where it is not worth fixing. I've never scrapped a car in my life and definitely don't want this one to be the first. It would be sad to see a perfectly running car with absolutely no issues other than this one, go to the scrapyard.
The irony is that since my son started using it, I recently replaced pads and rotors all around, new exhaust and fixed an oil pan leak.
Mechanic called me last night and said he had found the issue... my son was supper happy to hear that.
Picked it up today, all is good now.
The base/connector for the fuel pump fuse melted. This fuse also feeds the ECU. He replaced it with an aftermarket fuse and fuse holder. They charged me three hours of labor, I know they spent more than that troubleshooting.
Glad to see it running again.
