This is from the Service Manual for both spare key-fob programming and the emergency start procedure - I have done both and they work - if you do not have the Honda Shorting connecter - use a bent paper clip and short the Light Green/Green wires. I'm not sure it works without a registered key, but maybe if you do the emergency starting procedure so the ignition is on it will work.

 

I do have the jumper, but I have been following the procedure on a later page called "Honda SMART Key Registration procedure when Alll Honda SMART keys were lost"

 

I didn't look that far after I found what I needed - now I am curious and will look that procedure up

 

I lost my FOB on a ride last week.

Are you the original owner?

 

I am the original owner

 

Are you plugging your shorting plug into the correct connector - the registration connector next to the battery on the left, not the DTC connector on the right. Also, I think the left saddle bag has to remain open

This would be the procedure you should be following if you currently have no working fob...

The above procedure for when all smart keys are lost. Step 4 says to turn the ignition on with the main key. How can you do this if all of the keys are lost? What am I missing here?

 

I am 100% positive I am plugging the jumper into the correct connector. I am following that procedure as shown above. All the things beep like they should, but at the end, when I am all done, the bike does not have any ignition. Like I posted at first, it says "Prepare a new Honda SMART key" and I am not sure if there is something to do there.

Has anyone that replied lost your key and had to do this?

Adding a second Key Fob

Here is how to program in a second key FOB. The cost of another FOB is about $90. Honda calls out a special tool, PN 070PZ-ZY30100 This is essentially a shorting connector, just like what is used for the TPMS sensor programing connector on the older bikes. However, there is a catch. The...

Thanks, but this only orks if you still have the original. Mine is lost

 

I can't comment on not having the original to do the process.

However I did the procedure several times (4 I think) and it wouldn't register the new fob. I had the new fob sitting on the rear seat. When I put it on the front seat and followed the procedure again it worked. Don't know if it had anything to do with it but I think this bike has a very weak communication signal. Yes I did it the same each time.

 

OK, I finally got this thing to work. I had been skipping step 5, called "if you have another" smart key because it looked like it was talking about what you need to do to program a 2nd, third, fourth etc, Evidently, it was considering what I was doing to be programming a second. I hit the left open saddlebag button, got the 3 beeps, and was good to go.

Thanks. I just went out a tried it, I put the FOB right by the ignition switch. I think I had it on the front seat before Anyway, no difference.

If you are using a paper clip instead of a shorting block make sure you're shorting the correct two wires. Find Fred's video and follow it step by step while actually doing the install. Is there any chance the bike has had four fobs programed to it as four is the max number of fobs to the ecu.
Bill

 

Yes, and the correct two wires are the Light Green / Green wires.

 

I am trying to set up my key fob. worked once and now not. Can you erase old programs and set up new program. Maybe the bike has too many in the program.

 

Welcome to the forum. IIRC, no more than 4 fobs can be programmed. More than 4 needs a new ECU, and ECUs are not cheap. Whether or not a fob that lost it's connection and is programmed a second time is one of the 4, no one has ever confirmed.

Maybe this vid will help.
