Re: Why does Engine Restart when put in Park?
I hope that this statement is due to minor differences in our cars. Mine definitely has all-door unlock which is programmable for when you switch to Park or when you turn off the engine. There are like 5 and 7 different options for auto lock and auto unlock on my 2007 HCH-II in Canada. Plus immobilizer and car alarm built in...
Please double-check your manual to see if it's there.

1. Driver door unlocks whenever you turn the ignition switch to the ACCESSORY position.
2. Auto Door unlocking is deactivated all the time (Default)
3. Driver's door unlocks when you move the shifter lever to the Park Position.
I dont think I remember looking at any other option ?
On your model, what steps do you take to unlock ALL doors ?

Instead of holding the unlock button and waiting for the first click, continue holding for the second click at double the wait time. First click does the driver's door; Second click does all doors. Can't hurt to try and you might get lucky. (To the passive lurker, don't construe this as the complete unlock programming procedure, because it is not)

^Yah. That's how you do it. I guess it's worth a try in an 06 and couldn't hurt anything.

Well to be honest, I have not tried it. When ever I figure out how to get FREE time in my life... I will try it. The second click (according to the manual) is suppose to just unlock the driver door.
Next time I try it, I will just hold it for that much longer and see if something magical happens.

Yes, it does. Pull out your owner's manual. It says point-blank that AS will only engage when the transmission is in neutral or drive. Reverse is neither, and therefore AS mode is terminated when the transmission handle enters the 'R' position. I agree that it's pretty stupid to re-engage the engine despite still having your foot on the brake, but that's how the thing is both programmed and documented.
For what it is worth, I don't buy what the service guy said anyway. They have scan tools that connect to the obd2 port on cars for putting cars in diagnosis mode. Maybe an independent guy or a Saturday mechanic guy might benefit, but a Honda dealer? I think not
