Honda Pilot: Keyless Access System Description - Components

Engine Start/Stop Switch

Pressing the engine start/stop switch changes the vehicle mode to OFF (LOCK), ACCESSORY, ON, or START mode. The engine start/stop switch also includes an LF antenna. When operating the backup function engine start/stop switch receives the immobilizer signal from the remote, and sends an immobilizer signal to the keyless access/TPMS control unit.

LF (Low Frequency) Antennas

The front interior, rear interior, left/right-front, and left/right-rear LF antennas send the signals to the remote inside and outside of the vehicle.

Door Touch Sensors and Outer Handle Lock Switches

The door touch sensors and the outer handle lock switches are built into the driver's and front passenger's door outer handles. The tailgate outer handle switch is built into the tailgate outer handle. To operate the door locks without the built-in key while carrying the remote, grip the door outer handle to unlock the doors and press the outer handle lock switch on the door outer handle to lock the doors.

Remote

The remote is equipped with a keyless transmitter, and all the doors can be locked and unlocked by a lock/unlock button operation, even from a remote distance from the vehicle. When the lock button or unlock button is pressed, the keyless transmitter sends the applicable switch signal to the keyless access/TPMS control unit. After receiving authentication the keyless access/TPMS control unit, the door lock/unlock signals are sent to the MICU through the B-CAN.

Keyless Buzzer

The keyless buzzer located inside the rear bumper sounds when smart entry functions.
