aristoBrat 06-11-2003, 08:32 PM Was wondering if anyone else's E key was warm to-the-touch when it comes out of the ignition? Driving to work and back (a 30-minute each-way trip), I've noticed it's quite toasty sometimes. Weird?! eMass 06-11-2003, 09:45 PM [quote:166f3006bf="aristoBrat"]Was wondering if anyone else's E key was warm to-the-touch when it comes out of the ignition?

I'm over-simplifying a little but the Element has an anti-theft system with a chip embedded in the key that has to match a certain voltage signature in order to start the car. So it's my understanding that there's always a little juice running thru it and I suspect the warm key is a by-product of this. :) mikeyl 07-12-2003, 08:38 AM this is a normal characteristic of honda "immobilizier" system no changes can be done to prevent.....just don't grab the metal part! | ||
