Locking and unlocking our 05 Pilot's doors with the wireless key has changed.

What used to require two pushes of the button to unlock and lock all doors,
now requires three. The first push does nothing.

Why the sudden change in the way it works..? The owner's manual says nothing
about it, other than how it's supposed to normally work.

Hi,
Try new battery for the fob.

Thanks. Didn't consider that, since it does work, just not correctly.

Do you hit the remote from a distance? It might be that you're just a
little too far away the first time. And when you lock it, you're
usually standing right next to the thing, so you wouldn't notice it.

This assumes that the battery is low. I was able to unlock my 96
Civic from a distance that was just a little too far for me to walk at
a reasonable pace before it relocked. I haven't tried it with the
Fit.

No, all from within a few feet, even right next to the car.
