On my 2019 Odyssey EXL, I have been having issues with a intermittent Keyless Start System error and intermittent issues with the Start/Stop button, where the dash says that I need to hold the key fob close to the Start/Stop button in order to start the car.
The battery in the key fob is fine. This happens sometimes with my other key fob too, battery in that fob is also fine. The walk away auto lock feature does not work even though the setting is set correctly in the settings menu. I read that the 2016-17 Honda Pilot had a recall for the Start/Stop button. That's what I suspect is wrong with mine. I saw a Youtube video where an owner of a Pilot mentioned that once you see the Keyless Start System error, the walk away auto lock feature will stop working until you disconnect the battery for 20 minutes. I can confirm this. I disconnected the battery for 20 minutes and then hooked it back up. The walk away auto lock feature started working again. But a couple days later, I got the Keyless Start System error and again the walk away auto lock feature stopped working.
I called my dealer asking if Honda has any extended warranty on the Start/Stop button like they do for the Pilot. They said no.
Wondering if anyone else has seem this Keyless Start System error? I guess my next step is to replace the button myself. I saw a Youtube video where a device is installed to disable the auto idle stop, which shows me how to take a part the dash to get to the start/stop button.
