What does Honda HISS mean?
1 Answers
Here is an introduction about Honda HISS: 1. Introduction: HISS stands for "Honda Ignition Security System", which is an electronic anti-theft system consisting of three main components: a microchip transponder embedded in the key handle, internally programmed with a serial number and authentication key; an ECU engine control computer module; and a sensing coil located at the lock position. After normal shutdown, a flashing red light from HISS indicates that the chip anti-theft function is active. 2. Function: The purpose of HISS is to prevent thieves from starting the vehicle. If a thief were to hotwire or use lock-picking tools to connect the vehicle's main circuit, the anti-theft program in the ECU would immediately read the microchip information in the key via the sensing coil.
