20 Most Recent 1999 Honda Accord Questions & Answers

Your battery must have gone dead or you replaced it.
Your car’s audio system will disable itself if it is disconnected from electrical power for any reason. To make it work again, you must enter a specific five-digit code in the Preset buttons. Because there are hundreds of number combinations possible from five digits, making the system work without knowing the exact code is nearly impossible.
You should have received a card with your manual(if you have one) that lists your audio system’s code number and serial number. If you don't have the card, you can get the code number from your Honda dealer, but to do this, you will need the system’s serial number, or maybe the accord's vin number.
If your car’s battery is disconnected or goes dead, or the radio fuse is removed, the audio system will disable itself. If this happens, you will see ‘‘Code’’ in the frequency display the next time you turn on the system. Use the Preset buttons to enter the five-digit code. If it is entered correctly, the radio will start playing.
Hope this is helpful.

I replaced the pump on my 1999 Accord EX V6 and didn't have to reset a thing. The only problem is that the low fuel light doesn't come on every time it should. The poor idling sounds like a different problem like your TPS or the IAC solenoids. Have your local parts store pull codes for you for free if you have a check engine light on.

A replaced water pump will not cause this problem unless the bearing has failed and the pump is putting an excessive drag on the crankshaft. A more common problem is that a sensor was removed or a sensor connector was disconnected to install it and was damaged, or not reinstalled or reconnected properly.

Wow, often people have no clues or details as to what is wrong....well you sir win the "covered all my bases" medal as far as I am concerned.....Sorry I can't help.

there should be a code that you can get from the dealer but they will require the VIN number and the serial number of the radio. Before you do that try to find the code on your car. Common places where the code is found are the glove box. the bottom of the ash tray, the door jamb.

No the maintenance light comes on at a set mileage interval to remind you that your vehicle will be do for oil or some other scheduled maintenance. Low brakes will not trigger the light. If there is a serious problem with the braking system it will trigger the red brake light on the dash.

Great news, you can program a 1999 Honda Accord Key Fob yourself. Simply follow these instructions: Obtain all remote transmitters for this vehicle and read the instructions prior to programming. Entering programming mode will erase all previously programmed remotes for this vehicle. You must have all remotes available for programming including working ones.

• Enter vehicle and close all doors

• Each of the following steps must be completed within five seconds of completing the previous step. If you take longer than five seconds or make a mistake, you must start the entire procedure over.

• Insert the key into the ignition, hold one remote in your left hand with additional remotes close by. We recommend taking remotes off the key ring to perform the procedure. When the instructions say to press the LOCK button, you should press the LOCK button on the remote for approximately one second then release it.

Perform each of the next three steps in order, then repeat all three steps two more times for a total of three times each.

1. Turn the ignition to the ON position, marked II.
2. Press the LOCK button on the remote.
3. Turn the ignition to the OFF position, marked I. (Do steps 1-3 three times)

Next, turn the ignition switch to ON position, marked II. 4. Using the same remote, press the LOCK button again. The door locks should cycle indicating the vehicle has ENTERED programming mode. 5. Using the same remote, press the LOCK button again. The door locks should cycle indicating the vehicle has PROGRAMMED that remote. If you have other remotes to program then repeat step 5 with each additional remote one after another. Step 5 must be completed within ten seconds for each additional remote. You may program up to three remotes. 6. Turn the ignition to OFF. Test all remotes. If your remote has a trunk button you will need to hold that button down for several seconds for that function to operate.

Assuming you don't have the Anti-Theft Code and Serial Number that is found on the credit card sized Anti-Theft Radio Identification Card that comes with the vehicle at the time of purchase and is usually found in the glove compartment....

You have FREE options to retrieve that code by phone or on the internet BUT, the RADIO SERIAL NUMBER is REQUIRED (no matter what). (see bottom about removing ERROR E3)

4. Hold down the preset buttons 1 and 6 at the same time.
5. Turn the radio on while pressing down both the 1 and 6 buttons.(***IF your Honda doesn't have preset buttons on the radio then hold down the top part of the 'Seek/Skip' button AND the top part of the 'Change Disk' button instead.*** )
6. Write down the 4 numbers you see first and then 4 more that display. These eight numbers are the SERIAL NUMBER. This is NOT your CODE.
7. Make sure your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is handy to get the unlock code. (can be found on your insurance card, driver's side door jam, small plate on dashboard by registration and inspection stickers, etc)

1. Go to https://radio-navicode.honda.com/ (YES, it's run BY HONDA and IT'S FREE)

* REMOVING ERROR E3

****If you entered too many wrong codes and got an ERROR E3 message displaying you'll need to do an additional step for even the correct unlock code to work.****

Disconnect your negative battery terminal (or pull the radio fuse out if that's easier for you) for 30 seconds then reconnect it and then the radio will say "CODE" again and you can put in your correct unlock code.

So what happened to begin with?

If the power from your battery to the Honda radio is interrupted the Anti-Theft feature kicks in, the radio is rendered inoperable and the screen reads 'CODE'. You must enter in the Anti-Theft Radio Unlock Code (usually 5 digits) to make it operational again. You know that much by now.

Means that it is requesting the code (anti theft) to reactivate the radio. In all probability, the vehicle battery was disconnected and the anti theft tripped.

Return to the dealership for warranty if it failed in a day and half, that means they haven't repaired it for the price you paid.

Did you check and make sure the cable hasn't just popped of and if is has it is really easy to put back on just take a look under the dash where the handle is.

So all of your dashboard lights come on, you can hear the fuel pump prime itself, but yet the engine doesn't start? Have your starter tested, to see if it is good. If you can get the starter off, you can bring it into a Autozone, a Napa, or any other local auto parts stores in your area; and they can hook it up to a test machine. This will tell you whether your starter is the problem or not.

check idling and front engine mount

Sounds like the ignition switch going bad.
