'98 Civic Maintenance indicator
 

Hi all.


I followed the manual's instructions to reset the Maintenance indicator on
my 98 Civic. Pretty simple. All it said was insert key in slot. Kinda like
resetting the trip odometer.

But it didn't work.

Am I missing something? Anyone know how to reset this indicator?

Thanks!

I believe you insert a key, turn the ignition on while keeping it pressed in
until you see the indicator go out.

Tried it earlier...didn't work. Just FYI, the indicator is not a light.
It's kind a like an odometer thingy just moves from neutral to yellow to red
in color as the car is driven.

Thanks.

Try it with engine off--if that don't work--try it with engine running.
It's possible that the reset mechanism is broke. Remember Murphy's law can
kick in at any time--even with Hondas. If it's broke--just ignore it or
put a piece of black tape over it.

If it is the setup with the slot in the bottom of the instrument cluster,
you just push the key into it and the indicator color should change back to
green. If it doesn't, the mechanism is broken.

It has no effect on vehicle operation - just ignore it.
