Honda ignition problems have been prevalent since Honda changed their conventional cut keys to high security key (also known as laser cut keys) in 2002. Before 2002 Honda used a standard key that is cut on both sides that can be copied by a conventional key cutting machine, like in a hardware store. The change to high security key was brought by the fact that Hondas were one of the most stolen cars in America. In 1998 Honda introduced a microchip that was embedded into the key to prevent unauthorized users to start the car. Upon detecting a foreign object or incorrect key the Immobilizer systems cuts the fuel delivery to the engine. In 2002, Honda upgraded to the high security laser cut key with a microchip embedded into it to prevent any kind of attempt to steal the vehicle.

Honda Ignition Problems – High Security Keys: Advantages & Disadvantages

Honda ignition problems are common.  The advantages to upgrading to a high security laser cut key with a microchip are obvious. First, reduces the probability of the car being stolen. Second, lowers the chances of someone duplicating your key at a local hardware store. There are also some minor disadvantages that can be minimized with proper maintenance. First, because the key tumblers are split and are half the size for high security keys, after years of usage, the key gradually wears out. Second, the tumblers eventually slip out of position and causes the ignition to lock. Both of these issues can be avoided with proper maintenance. Try to keep you ignition clean by spraying some electric cleanser or dust removal in the key slot. Also keep your car key on a separate key chain and not with the rest of your keys. Many times a heavy key chain misaligned the position of the key and gradually wears out the first tumblers.

If automatic transmission, it is likely that your gear shift is not all the way in park.  Check if there are any objects obstructing the gear shift; turn the ignition to ON, shift the gear to drive and then firmly shift the gear to the park position, you will now be able to remove your key from the ignition.

3. My Honda key goes into the ignition but doesn’t turn – steering wheel is locked, no movement.
Sometimes this situation is due to parking on a hill, pressure builds on the wheels which is transferred to the steering wheel.  Try turning the steering wheel in the same direction of the wheels while turning the key into the ignition.  Again, please do not use excessive force, you will damage your ignition.
