clear maint req'd lite ? - 11/16/2007 1:17:24 AM    zoominhuman   Posts: 7 Score: 0 Joined: 2/21/2007 Status: offline This question pertains to a 1998 4-dr Accord LX with a 4cyl/auto. The lite just came on yesterday & I'd like to clear it. What is the purpose of this ? I change my own oil & filter. Did a mileage number on the odometer trigger this or is this similar to a trouble code ? I searched for this in several forums & was unable to find anything.  Dave Post #: 1
