holy shit...we should make this a damn sticky....reset it, it's just telling you that maintanence is required soon...and I know, you don't know how to, when the car is turned off, hold down the trip odometer button...turn the car to on, but don't start it, the light will blink for a couple seconds then go off...you're good to go

flashes at 8k and stays steady at 10k. you reset it now and 8k from now it will flash and at 10k it stays steady. the light is there to remind you that a major(10k) service is coming up. it is a cycle. it's not fucking rocket science dumbshits. :confused:

Dorko? Holy crapballs!

No jk, but I think it's all in the manual. Read under the maint. light. It tells you everything if you just open it. P.61 If you are really that lazy...

Really, this does need to be a sticky. Then again maybe not. How many times did we cover the whole "mid-pipe" topic? HAHAHAHAHAH

quick fix.

1. With the car off, hold down the trip button.
2. Start the car, still holding the trip button down. (for 10 seconds).
3. Done, problem solved


BTW, honda dealers will charge you 180 bucks for this.

Just send me a check for 20!:D

I was being serious! Somebody send me some money. I just saved these fools 180 bucks. Hell I'll even change their oil and wash and wax their car for 180 bucks.

if anyone would bother to look in the cars manual, it tells you how do reset that light within the first few pages...

but that only costs you 20k. because thats what you paid for the car.
