Avancier transport mode issue

I'm stumped. Just picked up a 2003 Honda Avancier with a gasoline engine, and it seems to think it's still on the factory floor! I'm getting a 'transport mode active' message, which is causing a general electrical malfunction and my navigation system is totally dead. Any ideas how to disable this thing? The car has 238905 km on the clock.

Summary of the thread

A 2003 Honda Avancier is experiencing a 'transport mode active' message, leading to electrical malfunctions and a non-functional navigation system. This issue may be related to a protective mode similar to one experienced by another vehicle after a battery issue. Suggested solutions include attempting a key fob reset or visiting a workshop to use diagnostic tools to reset the ECU and clear the transport mode.

Whoa, that's weird! I had a similar issue with my old Renault Megane after the battery died. It was stuck in some kind of protected mode. Have you checked the key fob? Sometimes a weird sequence of button presses can trigger it. Maybe try googling 'Honda Avancier key fob reset'?

Yeah, I tried the key fob thing – holding buttons, praying to the car gods, the whole nine yards. No luck. When your Megane was doing that, were the symptoms the same? Like, totally dead navigation and electrical gremlins?

Yep, pretty much the same! Navigation was toast, and the electrical system was acting funky. I ended up taking it to a workshop. They had to use some diagnostic tool to reset the ECU and clear the transport mode. I would go there if I were you.

Ugh, that's what I was afraid of. Sounds like a trip to the shop is in order. Thanks for the info! At least I know I'm not completely crazy.
