Icon2 OBD2 and Engine Maintenance Light

I have a 2004 Honda Pilot.

The Maintenance Required Light came on. It wasn't for routine oil change. I tried to reset it first by pushing the trip reset button and turning key to ignition. The light went away and then came back on right away.

I hooked up Innova 3030 OBD2 reader and it showed GREEN light and 0 code. No icons were flashing. I tried to reset the onboard computer by erasing it using the Code reader. After that, the Code Reader light became Yellow and some icons were flashing.

However, after driving the car for 2 days. The OBD2 light is GREEN and icons are solid again. The Maintenance Required light is still on? How do I get rid of it? What problem do I have?

You have to hold the trip reset button for 10-15 seconds or it will come back on..

Did that work? I always hold in the trip button with the key on 2 clicks, keep holding and turn the car off, then turn back on 2 clicks and it should go away. Once gone, then you should be able to start the car and be on your way. Either way, hope you got it fixed....
