my gf just bought this 99 accordex v6 and the light keeps coming on when she starts up the car...is there anything perticular i should maintain??? i changed oil, spark plugs, wires, and tires...what else is this car talking about with this annoying maintainance required??

 

That's a reminder based simply on miles (7500 miles). Gotta reset it yourself when you do scheduled maintenance.

- Turn car completely OFF.
- Press & hold the odometer-reset button.
- Turn key to 'ON', you don't have to actually start the engine.
- Continue holding the button for 20 seconds or so.
Lamp will flash & then go out. And then it'll come back on in another 7500 miles.

 

thanks, i did a search and i remembered that if f spell maintainance correctly it will give me results!

 

Thet woud werk if all teh people hoo postd befor u have speld at riigt.

 

ok this was Ironic because I was about to post the same question.. only i have a 92 accord LX and the maintenance required isnt a light it looks like one of these mechanical guages that goes from plain to orange. its been there since I got the car and alwyas wondered how to reset it, iis it the same as the 99? or what do I do differently

 

My 91 Accord has a slot next to the maintenance req'd indicator and you just push the ignition key into the slot and it resets the indicator to green. I use it as an oil change reminder.

 

cajun is correct, you should see a little slow to the lower left hand side of that gauge "light/indicator" just put the key in there and it should reset to green, mine's about to do the same thing....

 

thanks guys that did it.

 

Just re-read my post.... "...should see a little slow...." perhpas I'm a little slow today *LOL* mother of god....

 

hahahaha thats ok, I understood what you were trying to say, and yes I found it and reset my maintenance req'd guage, I'll use that from now on as to when to change my oil.
