Understanding the "Maintenance Required" Light:
* This light is not a simple reminder for an oil change. It's tied to a complex system that tracks your car's mileage and usage.
* The "Maintenance Required" light indicates it's time for various services like oil changes, tire rotations, and other recommended maintenance based on your driving conditions.
Resetting the "Maintenance Required" Light:
1. Perform the Required Maintenance: First and foremost, complete the recommended maintenance that triggered the light. This includes an oil change, tire rotation, and any other scheduled services.
2. Turn Ignition ON: With the engine off, turn the ignition key to the "ON" position (the position where the dashboard lights come on).
3. Press and Hold the Trip Reset Button: Locate the button that resets your trip odometer (usually found on the instrument cluster). Press and hold this button for at least 5 seconds.
4. Release Button: Release the button. The light should go out, and the display should show "Maintenance Required Reset."
Additional Tips:
* Check your Owner's Manual: Your owner's manual should have detailed instructions on how to reset the light for your specific model.
* Consult a Mechanic: If you're unsure about any of the steps or your light doesn't reset, it's best to consult a Honda-trained mechanic. They can ensure all necessary maintenance is performed correctly.
Important Note: Resetting the light without performing the required maintenance will not solve the underlying issue and could lead to further problems with your vehicle.
