So I've owned my EP3 about a month now and really enjoy driving it when I drive it.

So when I got it I had around 95.5k on the clock.

I now have roughly 97k on the clock.

Over the weekend the maintenance required light flashed.

Well this morning it came on and stayed on.

What kind of stuff is required at 97k or 100k?

I'm guessing the 100k is a tune up etc.

When I got it I changed the plugs out, oil change etc.

So what is due?

How do I check? Is it through the obdo port?

And how do I get rid of the light. Is there a trick.

I'm pretty capable of working on my own cars.

I tinker on EF civics and crx's as well do all the maintenance on our Land Rover.

So I can turn a wrench.

Thanks
Richard

That should give you what you need to reset it. It comes on at regular intervals, regardless of what your car needs.

Cool on that one.

Is the 100k stuff in a service manual on what I need to do?

Well read the code last night.

P0138. primary bank o2 sensor.

So looking online I find one that is sitting near the cat and and air fuel in front of the o2 sensor called a secondary heated sensor.

So i have 2 O2 sensors and an air fuel sensor?

The primary sensor, the front one, prior to the cat, is called both primary o2 sensor, or the A/F sensor. The secondary o2 sensor is there only to detect that there is a operable cat installed and it is either in the center of a large cat or at it's exit.
