Keyless start system problem appeared with no associated issues such as starting the vehicle. Error message was intermittent for 2-3 months. Ultimately it became a constant error. Mechanic performed diagnosis and reported that this error should be coupled with vehicle starting issues. The alarm was reset and came back within 48 hours. The vehicle had approximately 58k miles when the problem began. Honda Pilot forums indicate that this is a common problem with the 2016 Pilot. Owners have exhausted the root cause analysis (electronic switch replacement, ignition module replacement with dealerships). However, the problem does not always go away. My error appeared while starting the vehicle (stationary position).
