Anyone help me with this?
What is it and how do i make it go away?!


98 Accord 4dr EX 4cyl AT
Maint. Req.

WTF?!
just my day... check those original milse though!

 

What light is that? CEL or Maintenance Req'd light?

 

Maint req

 

That light comes on about every 3,000 miles or so to "remind" you that you need to change your oil or what have you. Sometimes the mechanic that changes your oil resets it for you. It's a simple procedure to reset it but if you've changed your oil, go ahead and follow these steps.

1. Push in and hold the odometer reset button.

2. While holding in the odometer reset button, insert the key into the ignition and hold for several seconds.

3. Turn key to "on" while still holding in the odometer reset button.

4. Hold in the odometer reset button until all of the warning lights have lit - after about 10 seconds the "maintenance required" light will go off.

Hope that helps! Feel free to respond in the thread with any more questions.

 

I figured it wasnt anything overly important.
Thank you Sweagle!!

I'll try it out later.

 

Ya man it's not big deal. Let me know how it goes.

 

On 1998 its every 7500 miles, to match the oilchange interval...
Step #2 wasn't necessary in my 1998, just turn it ON while holding the reset button.

 

Thanks for the correction man.

 

Yeah I just held the reset button while turning it to on.
Worked like a charm!
Thank you again guys... most helpful!

 

No problem man, anytime.
