approach the different types of service (e,g. openings key generation, lock repair, etc) from a broader perspective. Doing so, will allow you to approach any Honda with a greater degree of confidence without having to memorize &prt:ilk:s far e.nrh particular model. The following information covers mode! years 198ft (roughly) to 1993, For Hondas in these years, you will find one of two key code series. The 3001 4481 series started on the 19S2 Prelude and by 1984 included all Honda models. This series started with the XI 28 (Taylor dumber) key blank, but is now superseded by the X 181- The difference between the two blanks is the length of the blade. The X181 blank can be used for all of the vehicles using this eode series. The other code series used is the 5001 8442, using the XI 82 key blank. This blank supersedes all previous blanks for that series. Introduced on the 1988 CHX, this series now shares usage with the 3001 4181 series. A specification chart for both series will follow this article. It is very important that the latest version key blank be used. Modifications of the ignition cylinder made the shorter key-blank versions obsolete. Using the earlier shorter versions in later model vehicles will cause the ignition switch to jamb in the "Start" position and burn out

The first part of any auto service is being able to open the vehicle. Honda has been very gracious in this respect From 1986 to present they have used various designs for the lock buttons and latch handles, The two most common are the vertical (up and down) buttons {see pk&tagrapk J) and the horizontal (front

n code stamped on the housing, On some of the locks the code is prefaced by three or four digits. Disregard these numbers and use only the last four digits as the cade. Years and models vary when codes were stamped on the ignition. On many years the number is stamped on the housing near the column damp. Attain, this is a series of letters and numbers, the last four of which is the key code. On the 1S)93 we found the codes stamped on the ignition cylinder, and not accessible until the cylinder is removed. Being that like doing things the easy way lets go through a sequence for finding a code. After opening the vehicle start with the glovebox lack. There arc three typical styles that you may encounter. Two of these ar« part of thfi door, the other one is just above the door iii the dash. Of the two in the door styles, one will be have a paddle handle release and be held to the door with two screws (see photograph 6).

The code is stamped on the cylinder housing, Not all models will have glovebox locks, however. In fact, the only 1993 models we found with glovebox locks were the Accords, Before for this time, most models except the Civic and /or CRX had glovebox locks. If a glovebox lock is not found, check for an interior trunk/gas cap release lever lock. This will be down on the floor on the left side of the drivers seat (see photograph 9).
