maintenance required light - 9/14/2004 11:06:12 AM    azdrake   Posts: 1 Joined: 9/14/2004 Status: offline Hi, I’m a new owner of a 93 accord wagon. There is a maintenance required box at the bottom of the tachometer. When I got it was green, now it is yellow. What does that mean? Thanks Post #: 1

The OBD test passed, and there was no faults located, so I went to my local Honda dealership and told them of the issue. They told me it was a routine maintenace light that went on signaling normal maintenace. I told them that I had my brakes done, and they told me how ot reset it. here is what you do: put the key in the ignition (but do not turn it) Then push and hold the odometer reset button. Turn the key to the On position while holding the odometer reset button(knob) Hold for 10 seceonds and then turn the key off. You may start your car now and the light should change/stop blinking. _____________________________ Have a nice day. Dr. Sparke (in reply to WheelBrokerAng) Post #: 3

The maint. light is a reminder light to perform scheduled maintenance, unlike the check engine light which signifies a problem. If not reset it will turn red and stay on all the time. < Message edited by RTexasF -- 11/16/2004 12:22:34 PM > (in reply to Csparke) Post #: 4
