2001 Acura CL
Key Made On-Site - Best Price in Ventura County

Q: Do I need to tow my 2001 Acura CL to the dealer for a new key?

Nope. That is exactly what mobile locksmith service exists for. The dealer will tell you to tow it in because they need it in their bay to connect their HDS tool and run the immobilizer procedure. We do the same programming through the 16-pin diagnostic port under your dash, just with our own equipment, at your location. You skip the tow bill, skip the half-day wait at the service counter, and get the same result: a transponder key cut and coded to your CL's ECM.

Q: What do I need to prove I own the vehicle before you make a key?

Valid photo ID and proof of ownership. Registration, title, or insurance card showing the VIN. We also verify the VIN from the dashboard plate or door jamb sticker on your CL to confirm the key specs match. Same standard whether you go through a locksmith or a dealer. The difference is we handle it on site in minutes instead of you standing at a parts counter.

Q: My 2001 CL cranks but won't start and the green key light keeps blinking. Is my key bad?

Maybe, but probably not. A continuously blinking green key light means the immobilizer is not recognizing the transponder signal. On these second-gen CLs, that is often the PGM-FI main relay (part number 39400-S84-003) with cracked solder joints rather than a failed key. The relay controls power to the ECM and fuel pump, and when it sticks, the immobilizer module shuts down and the fuel pump won't prime. If you turn the key to ON and don't hear the fuel pump hum at all, that relay is worth checking before you assume the Megamos chip in your key has failed.

Q: I lost every key for my 2001 Acura CL. Can a replacement still be made?

Yes. The 2001 CL uses Honda's Type 2 immobilizer, which means all-keys-lost does not require replacing the ECU. We cut a new HD106-PT key by code, connect to the OBD port, and write fresh transponder codes to the ECM. Any old lost keys get erased from memory so they can no longer start the car. It takes a bit longer than a standard spare, but it is a routine job we handle on site.

🔧 PRO TIP

The 2001 CL runs a Megamos ID 13 transponder chip in an HD106-PT key blank, part of Honda's Type 2 immobilizer system. That system does not erase your key data when the 12V battery dies. If your CL cranks but won't fire after a dead battery, check the green key indicator light on the dash first. Solid green that shuts off after a few seconds means the immobilizer still recognizes your key. The problem is voltage, not lost programming. Charge the battery before assuming the worst.

2001 Acura CL Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Got a call from a woman at a medical office over in Pleasant Valley Fields. She needed a spare transponder key for her 2001 Acura CL and had already called the Acura dealer about it. They quoted her a number split across four line items: key blank, cutting, programming labor, and a shop fee. That assumed she could leave the car there for half a day.

She could not leave the car. She's a dental hygienist and her lunch break is her lunch break.

I drove out and parked next to her CL. Plugged the IM608 into the 16-pin DLC under her dash and started the programming sequence through IMMOBI while she went inside to eat. The Megamos ID 13 chip registered to her ECM without any drama. Cut the HD106-PT blank on my machine right there in the lot. Whole thing took about 20 minutes.

She came back out, tested the key in the ignition, watched the green immobilizer light on the cluster come on and then shut off the way it should, and that was it. Working transponder key, done on site during a lunch break, for a fraction of what the dealer wanted. One line on the receipt. No four-way split, no half-day wait, no tow.
