PROGRAMMING TRANSMITTER
- Remove the rear cover from the old transmitter and the new one. See Fig 3 .
- Remove the ROM chip from the old transmitter by sliding its socket holder toward the ROM chip.
- Insert a new ROM chip into the socket holder, then slide the socket holder toward the socket to lock the chip into place.

- Reinstall the rear covers on the transmitters.
- Remove the security system control unit from under the driver's seat. See Fig 4 .
- Open the access cover on the control unit, and replace the ROM chip. See Fig 4 . (Use the same procedure as in steps 2 and 3.)
- Close the access cover, and reinstall the control unit.
If you are replacing a damaged transmitter, don't replace the ROM chips in the transmitters and the control unit; just remove the chip from the old transmitter, and install it in the new one.
ORDERING TRANSMITTER
Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Honda Dealers. Order them from American Honda using normal parts ordering procedures.
If your customer wants to add a third transmitter to the system, you need to order a four ROM chip set directly from Alpine Electronics of America. The Alpine part number for the four ROM chip set is 8319. For each set ordered, send a dealer check for $24.00 (payable to Alpine of America), to this address:
Alpine Electronics of America
ATTN: Al Sula (Parts)
19145 Gramercy Place
Torrance, CA 90501
Alpine's ROM chip set does not come with a transmitter. Additional transmitters can be ordered from American Honda using normal parts ordering procedures.
If you have questions on how to order the four ROM chip set, call Alpine's Parts Department at (800) 421-2284, extension 8885.
BATTERIES FOR TRANSMITTER

1991-93 ACCORD WAGON EX
PROGRAMMING TRANSMITTER
This transmitter is not programmable. See Fig 5 .
ORDERING TRANSMITTER
Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Honda Dealers. To order a transmitter, you need the vehicle's VIN, the code number from the power door lock control unit, and the ignition key code number.
The power door lock code number is a five-digit number etched into the plastic case of the control unit (mounted under the driver's seat). The ignition key code number is a four-digit number stamped on the metal shank of all five original keys delivered with the car.
Replacement transmitters are manufactured to match the code of the keyless entry system. The new ignition key is cut to match the vehicle's ignition switch, front door locks, tailgate lock, and glove compartment lock.
To order this transmitter, use the controlled parts ordering screen on the HONDANET 2000 system. The transmitters are manufactured in Japan; delivery takes 4 to 6 weeks.
BATTERIES FOR TRANSMITTER
The battery is not replaceable.

PROGRAMMING TRANSMITTER
NOTES:
- The system uses a stacking-type memory that accepts up to four transmitters. See Fig 7 . If you program a fifth transmitter, the system's memory for the first transmitter is pushed out, and it will no longer work.
- To clear a lost or stolen transmitter from the system's memory, program a transmitter four times. This will remove the missing transmitter from memory, since only four transmitter codes can be accepted.
- Another way to clear a lost or stolen transmitter is to erase
all transmitter codes and then reprogram them. To do this, refer to
the security system owner's manual.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Press and hold the Valet-Disarm button on the dashboard lower cover. (Continue to hold the button during the procedure, or programming will be canceled.) The LED on the upper steering wheel cover flashes when the system is in the programming mode.
- Press the top button on the transmitter. Check that the parking lights flash to confirm that the transmitter's code was accepted.
- Press the top button on each of the remaining transmitters. Check that the parking lights flash after each transmitter code is accepted.
- Release the Valet-Disarm button to exit the programming mode.
ORDERING TRANSMITTER
Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Honda Dealers. Order them from American Honda using normal parts ordering procedures.

1998 PASSPORT
PROGRAMMING TRANSMITTER
To program transmitters, use one of these two procedures: See Fig 20 .
- The first procedure cancels all learned transmitter codes and adds one new transmitter. None of the previously programmed transmitters will work. Use this programming procedure only if all transmitters were lost or stolen, or if a new control unit has been installed.
- The second procedure adds additional transmitters without canceling any of the previously learned ones. The system will accept up to four transmitters.
Procedure One (cancels all codes; adds one new transmitter)
- Open the driver's door.
- Turn the ignition key to the ACC (I) position and then to the OFF (0) position three times. (This step must be completed within 10 seconds, or the system will exit the programming mode.)
- Within 10 seconds, close and open the door two times.
- Turn the ignition key to the ACC (I) position and then to the OFF (0) position five times. Close and open the door. (Complete this procedure within 10 seconds.) Check that the power door locks cycle once to confirm you're in the programming mode.
- Within 20 seconds, press the "LOCK" button of the transmitter you're programming. Make sure the door locks cycle once.
- Within 20 seconds, press the "UNLOCK" button of the transmitter. Make sure the door locks cycle once to confirm that the system has accepted the transmitter's code.
Procedure Two (adds transmitters)
- Open the driver's door.
- Turn the ignition key to the ACC (I) position and then to the OFF (0) position three times. (This step must be completed within 10 seconds, or the system will exit the programming mode.)
- Within 10 seconds, close and open the door two times.
- Turn the ignition key to the ACC (I) position and then to the OFF (0) position three times. Close and open the door. (Complete this procedure within 10 seconds.) Check that the power door locks cycle twice to confirm you're in the programming mode.
- Within 20 seconds, press the "LOCK" button of the transmitter you're programming. Make sure the door locks cycle once.
- Within 20 seconds, press the "UNLOCK" button of the transmitter. Make sure the door locks cycle once to confirm that the system has accepted the transmitter's code.
TURNING AUDIBLE CHIRP ON/OFF
- Open the driver's door, and insert the key in the driver's door lock.
- Turn the key to the "LOCK" position, and then to the "UNLOCK" position; do this two more times. (Complete this procedure within 10 seconds.)
- Within 10 seconds, close and open the door two times.
- Within 10 seconds, turn the key to the lock position, and then to the unlock position three times. Close and open the door once. The power door locks will cycle once to confirm the chirp has been turned on/off.
