98 3.0L/AT Maintenance Light will not STAY reset. Not CEL. Maintenance.
Hi Accord owners, I'm working on a 99 Accord with a 3L and auto trans. The maintenance light is lit. I'm not an idiot, I follow the procedure to reset, and it resets - Until you take your finger off the Trip/Odometer button, at which point it immediately relights. As this thing is mileage based, I have no idea what could be causing this. I checked TSBs and couldn't find anything, so now I'm appealing to the accord gods to have mercy on me. Anyone?

You continued to hold the reset button while it flashes & continued to hold it until it goes out before releasing the button?

is the door closed when you try to reset it ??,if not close the doors and retry it
|
Really? I probably always had the door closed when I did that, but I never realized it matters.

Just thought I'd come back and say, DesertHonda was spot on. Light won't reset with door open. Closed door, reset perfectly. What a silly schematic that thing must use. Thanks Again.

Yeah, SILLY. Thanks for letting us know - I never realized that the door had to be closed.
