For the Maintenance Required Indicator (wrench symbol):
This is typically reset using the odometer/trip meter controls. The exact steps can vary a tiny bit, but generally follow this process:
1. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (without starting the engine).
2. Locate the odometer/trip meter reset button. It's usually a small button on the instrument cluster, often near the trip meter buttons.
3. Press and hold the trip meter reset button. Some models require you to press and *hold* it for a specific time (5-10 seconds is common), others require multiple presses or a specific sequence.
4. While holding (or pressing repeatedly), turn the ignition to the "OFF" position.
5. Release the button.
You may see the maintenance light blink a few times to confirm reset. If not, try repeating the process. If the light remains on after several attempts, it may indicate a more serious problem and you should consult your owner's manual or a mechanic.
For the Oil Change Indicator (oil can symbol):
The oil change light often requires a similar procedure, but sometimes it might involve slightly different button sequences. Refer to your owner's manual, as the exact steps are model specific. However, the general process will likely be close to the one described above.
If you're unsure:
* Consult your owner's manual: This is the most accurate source of information for your specific vehicle.
* Search online for a video tutorial: YouTube videos often show the process visually, making it easier to understand. Search for "2003 Honda Accord maintenance light reset."
Important Note: Resetting the maintenance light doesn't actually perform the maintenance. Make sure you've completed all necessary scheduled maintenance (oil change, tire rotation, etc.) before resetting the light. Ignoring necessary maintenance can lead to more serious and costly repairs down the line.
