Default cant reset oil maint light

flew down for my cousins graduation...

he owns an 09 civic, and the oil change mileage is at like -6700. as per following the service manuals instructions on resetting it, it doesn't work.

it keeps flashing the mileage and wont let us scroll to the oil life percentage screen.


any thoughts?

Since the oil meter has gone down to the negative, that's the oil light meter.

Reset as usual.

Make sure the headlights are off when trying to reset the maintenance minder.

If the instructions from the owner's manual doesn't work, your cousin may have to go to the Honda dealer to reset the maintenance minder using the HDS-Honda Diagnostic System.
