If your Honda or Acura car alarm, when armed, is randomly and intermittently going off, or the dash lights are flashing or flickering or the headlights are intermittently turning on when the engine is off you are encountering a commonly reported failure and defect with Honda Ridgeline, Odyssey, and Pilot and Acura MDX and RDX models with keyless start. This video will show the Honda Motors manufacturing defect in the Keyless Access Control Unit (a.k.a. Smart Power Control Unit) that is causing this intermittent, battery draining behavior. It will show exactly what is failing, what is the Honda manufacturing defect, and how to fix it yourself (saving you $1000 in the process).
In a subsequent video (Part 2 link: • Honda / Acura Random, ... ) I will show you how to access the Keyless Access Control Unit located up in the dashboard above the glove box of a 2018 Acura MDX. I will show you how to disassemble and repair the control unit. It is a very simple fix and saves you from having to have a dealer or mechanic to register or pair the key fob to work with a new Keyless Access Control Unit.
Note that the key fob and Keyless Access Control Unit must be programmed to work together. Replacing, rather than repairing, the control unit does require this reprogramming.
A shout out to all of the Honda Odyssey, Ridgeline, and Pilot and Acura MDX and RDX Forums that made this video possible because of all of the questions, complaints, symptom descriptions, contributions, and shared experiences with dealing with this issue. Without you I would not have figured out, diagnosed, and repaired this issue to create and share this video.
