How to reset the Matenence Light

Does anyone know how to reset the Matenance Light on a 2000 Honda Accord LX

 

This is in the owners manual. Press and hold the trip reset button on the
dash. Turn the key to the II position while holding the reset button in for
about 10 seconds.

 

That's the DUMBEST thing you could do. By resetting the computer you have
erased all the data stored in the ECU and thereby necessitating the OBD-II
program to "re-learn" itself.

It's a simple task involving pushing the trip reset and holding it for 10
seconds with the key on.

 

(just a joke ) put a sticker on it

It really amazes me that people will NOT read their Owners Manual, but, will
read the responses to their questions here.

 

Its just like any other computer. Its good for it to reboot, and redetect
the settings once in a while.

I didn't have that option on my last 2 cars, so I just simply disconnected
the battery for a while, and it cleared it up. I've used it several times
when my cars started to run a little tempermental, like a ruff start in the
morning. Of course that would usually be followed by the maintenance light.

 

I think you are confusing the maintenance light, which on Hondas simply
comes on based on mileage to remind you to change the oil, with a fault
light.

This is a Honda specific thing. There is nothing like it on any other make
of car that I know if. It is not a fault light and you do not want to reset
the computer to clear it. The way to reset it varies on different model
Hondas (but is always described in the owner's manual).

D'oh!

 

Ok, thanks for the information.
