Default Maintenance required indicator

Well for starters I am new to the Honda family and Accord Forum. I have a 92 Accord LX 4cyl. This indiacator is located in the botom of the tack. Today it turned from green to yellow. Is this something that is tripped by mileage or is there a problem with my car? It looks like I can stick my key in the hole next to it to reset it but wanted to know what everyone thinks first. Thanks for the help!

I think your year Hondahas the main't flag come on every 7,500 miles, the main't schedule is in the owners manual.
It's no big deal if you just want to reset it; I have a feeling the car is out from under warranty by now. LOL

Yes, it'll turn red. There's a slot nearby for you to push in with the end of a key. That resets the maintenance flag,kinda like the button for a trip odometer.

Umm... I'm not sure. I thought itgoesred at 7500 & yellow sometime(?) before that as an early warning. Now I'm not so sure.
