Maintenence Minder - Forced Activation Mode?
I understand that there is a way to force the Maintenance Minder to display what upcoming services will be required BEFORE the 15% oil life occurs. But I can't seem to find out how to do it on my Accord. I did see a post in a RidgeLine forum though.
Has anyone done this? It is apparently called "Forced Activation Mode".

Not sure of whether Honda really uses any dramatic "Forced Activation Mode" term for the Accord or any other Honda.
As long as someone did not reset the maintenance minder of all individual maintenance items, you would do the following:
The dealer can reset individual maintenance items with Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) instead of clearing and resetting everything via the Sel/Reset ****.
As long as someone did not reset the maintenance minder of all individual maintenance items, you would do the following:
- Turn the ignition to ON (III).
- If the oil life is more than 15%, press the Sel/Reset **** repeatedly until the engine oil life is displayed.
- Press the Sel/Reset **** for about 10 seconds. The engine oil life will display and the maintenance item code(s) will blink.
- If you want to reset the display and maintenance item code(s), then press the Sel/Reset **** for another 5 seconds. The maintenance item code(s) will disappear and the engine oil life will reset to 100%. --Do not do step 4 if you do not want to clear the maintenance item code(s) and reset the engine oil life to 100%.
