This document describes the installation and features of a Keyless Entry System designed for the Honda Pilot, identified by part number 08E61-S84-100 for the kit and 08E65-S9V-100 for the attachment kit. The installation instructions are intended for skilled technicians with proper tools, equipment, and training, and should not be attempted by "do-it-yourselfers."

Function Description:

The Keyless Entry System provides remote control functionality for vehicle access, allowing users to lock and unlock the vehicle without using a physical key. It integrates with the vehicle's existing electrical system, including the interior light switch, fuse box, and various connectors, to enable remote operation. The system includes a control unit, a dedicated wiring harness, and two remote controls for user interaction. It also incorporates a relay for proper electrical operation and a unit bracket for secure mounting within the vehicle's dashboard area.

Important Technical Specifications:

Part Numbers:
- Keyless Entry Kit: P/N 08E61-S84-100
- Attachment Kit: P/N 08E65-S9V-100
Components:
- Control unit
- Keyless entry harness
- 2 Remote controls
- Unit bracket
- Relay
- Owner's Manual
- Fuse labels (5A and 2A)
- Ground bolt
- 2 Flange nuts
- 2 Washer-screws (4 x 30 mm)
- 8 Wire ties
- 2 Wire ties with clip
- 2 Cushion tapes
Electrical Connections: The system connects to various vehicle components via specific connectors:
- 22-pin connector to the control unit.
- 3-pin connector to the parking brake pedal bracket.
- 6-pin connectors between the interior light switch and its harness.
- 10-pin connectors between the vehicle's fuse box and its harness.
- 2-pin connectors (gray and brown) located near the fuse box.
- 4-pin connector located under the fuse box.
- 1-pin connectors located under the fuse box.
Mounting: The control unit is secured to a unit bracket, which is then attached to the steering hanger beam bracket using a bolt.
Torque Specification: The bolt securing the unit bracket to the steering hanger beam bracket should be torqued to 19 to 24 N·m (14 to 18 lb-ft).
Antenna: The control unit features an antenna that requires cushion tape wrapping and specific routing through the unit bracket for optimal signal reception.
Fuse Ratings: The keyless entry harness includes fuse cases with specified ratings (5A and 2A), which are labeled for identification.

Usage Features:

Remote Control Operation: Users interact with the system via two supplied remote controls to lock and unlock the vehicle.
Owner's Manual: An Owner's Manual is included to guide users on the proper operation of the keyless entry system.
Anti-theft Code: Before installation, users are advised to note the radio's anti-theft code and preset frequencies, as disconnecting the battery may require re-entry of this information.
Automatic Window Function: After battery disconnection, the driver's window AUTO function is disabled and requires a re-initialization procedure (fully opening and closing the window, then holding the switch for 2 seconds).
PCM Idle Learn Procedure: Following installation and battery reconnection, a PCM (Powertrain Control Module) idle learn procedure is required to ensure proper engine operation. This involves running the engine at 3,000 rpm until the radiator fan comes on, then idling for 5 minutes with all electrical items off.

Maintenance Features:
