scorps Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Sounds like a ECU/Immobiliser problem, needs to go in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Hello To be honest electronics is not something this club is renowned for, have you asked in the Honda Accord owners club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazz33 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 If you take it to a honda garage or someone with an OBD reader it should throw up a fault code.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon.l Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 If it's a stock alarm/immobiliser then it will be built into the ECU, you'll notice a green picture of a key flashing when you take the key out after stopping the engine. If it's this type as mentioned above the easiest way is to plug an OBD2 reader into the car, if there is a fault it should be displayed. It may have a separate system (normally on the older stuff but I wouldn't be surprised to see otherwise) that is linked in a different way. Certainly on those ones water can find it's way into the siren and screw things up. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
