So if it cannot be bypassed is the only option is to take it to a Honda mechanic?

No try to reset it first especially if you replaced the battery or if it was dead then charged. look online for your car. any mechanic with a pro scanner can check it to see what is wrong.

I know what is wrong. I am trying to figure out how to bypass the anti-theft in the ignition switch. I am getting it started, but it will not stay running due to wiring in the switch needs jumped out. I do not know which wires it is.
