If your 2016 Honda Pilot's keyless start is not working, there are two possible causes. Firstly, the battery in the key fob may be dead and require replacement. Alternatively, the fuse located near the steering wheel could be blown. To access the fuse box, locate a small seam or crack along the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel. Use a screwdriver or prybar to open this panel. Inside, you will find multiple fuses. On the back of the panel, there should be a diagram indicating the function of each fuse. If it's not there, you can refer to the vehicle's owner's manual. Identify the faulty fuse by checking for a broken metal strip connecting the two raised sections. If the strip is intact, the fuse is still good and can be reinserted. Replacement fuses usually cost around $10, making them affordable.

My spouse recently bought a brand-new Honda. I had both key fobs with me. When I used the key fob for the Pilot, I encountered an error.

Here's a paraphrased and unique version: The key fob can be disconnected from the car, and most often the battery in the key fob will run out of power, causing it to stop functioning.
