Just got it tainted this morning with the exact problem. Did your go away?
yeah it went away later that evening. Must have been some moisture on the sensor. Give it a day or so, maybe leave it parked in the sun to help warm it up and dry up any left over moisture

When I get back to the vehicle and put my hand in the handle to open the car it does not recognize my hand. It's like the car has gone to sleep.... However, if I use a lock button once it does work. It's been like this from day one.
Exact same issue here with my new 2017 Civic.

This happened to me today. The first time it went away on its own then the second time, I shut the car off and it started to flicker. After I tried to restart it, that's when the error came on. On top of it all just like most of you, I just got my windows tinted today and it started.

Got windows tinted yesterday had the warning on when I got the car back. I thought it was because I had both keys in car .
I'm hoping it will dry out and be ok . Problem is had snow last night and is cold
Update it took 4 days for the light to go off . Now everything works as did before tint .

Wanted to add that this exact same thing happened to me.

But instead of getting windows tinted, I had a 2-ch dashcam system installed.
I am assuming it is because my installer had to take the panel off the hatch like when tinting the back window.

It took 2-days for the problem to fix itself.

Exact same issues as everyone has described on my 1 week only 2018. It did storm last night. My hatch keeps popping up , not opening but lifting so I have to slam it down to unlock. I did notice the remote start would not work this morning (after rain before tint) thought it was because I had locked the spare key in it the night before. Does anyone know if remote start works with a key locked inside and using the other fob? Still hoping issues go away soon. Thanks

It won't start using the remote if one if your find is in there. I always thinking it isn't working right to find out my wife has left her keys in the car,once again. She can't get it through her head,that anyone can just drive off without when she does this,lol

Can confirm, also happened to me post-tint AND the instrument cluster is flickering when the car is off.

Seems we have something super sensitive to water in the interior, either in the front or rear.

Car will not lock if it detects fob inside the car.

I just got my windows tinted on my 2019CTR
Same thing is happening to me. Hopefully it goes away, this thing is bugging the crap out of me! Also sucks that Honda service is closed on Sundays

Any update?

Just did mine this morning and sure enough, got the error.

Remote start doesn't work. Lock away lock doesn't work. Hatch trunk lock randomly spazzing out trying to lock unlock. And now my car alarm just randomly went off with it parked right in front of my house - lol.. this is ridiculous.
