"Maintenance Required" light
Hi,
My Honda Civic just rolled passed 8000 miles yesterday, and the "Maintenance Required" light started coming on every time I started my engine. I turned up at my dealer when I had 4700 miles on the clock for my oil change, but apparently he was fully booked for oil changes for the next 2 weeks. Instead, I went to the local Jiffy Lube for my oil change (and kept all the receipts). I'm just wondering if the "Maintenance Required" switch should have been reset when I had my oil (and other fluids) checked, or if I actually need to schedule some "Maintenance Work". I don't know why I'm putting everying in "inverted commas" - probably something to with "LAY-SERS" </Dr. Evil> Any input, anyone? Cheers! Lee |
Re: "Maintenance Required" light
In my integra, there's a button under the dash, u can push it to reset the
maint. lite button. that's for if u do it urself. then it goes every wutever kms for oil change n stuff.

Re: "Maintenance Required" light
I RTFM AH, but it doesn't mention whether or not the switch is reset
after an oil change. It says that it comes on after 8000 miles - not "8000 miles after your last oil change", hence my curiosity fueling my honda newsgroup posting. Yes, I went to Jiffy Lube or Oil Lube or Lube Express or whatever it is these chains are called. I didn't have much of a choice seeing as I couldn't wait 3 weeks for an appointment to my oil changed. Your name's Robert?!? ha ha ha ha - you_are_kidding, right? |

Believe me, that's the first place I looked. Page 57 if memory serves,
titled "My Maintenance Light Flashes". Is _ it _ because _ the _ computer _ thinks _ I _ haven't _ had _ an _ oil _change _ in _ 8000 _ miles? Paul Bielec wrote: > I had the same issue when I owned a 2001 Civic and I found the answer within > a minute in the owner's manual. |

Re: "Maintenance Required" light
I have a 2003 Honda Civic LX and to reset the Mant. Req light you have to have the key turned off and push and hold the reset button on your dash, keep holding it while you turn your key past the key to the on postition. Should take about 20 at the most, but the light should go out. Its took about 15 secs. on my car. Now all I need to know is how to turn the damn SRS light off. -- Ghost33 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via RealCarAudio.com - The checkmate of the car audio community. http://www.realcaraudio.com Ghost33's Profile: http://www.realcaraudio.com/forums/m...fo&userid=1665 View this thread: http://www.realcaraudio.com/forums/s...?threadid=8770 |
