Default Can't get my fing maint req'd light off...

Does anybody know how to do this? The book says "To reset the maintenance required indicator, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position, then press and hold the trip meter reset button until the indicator resets."

I did this...however the maint req'd light is still on and I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. Anybody have a better way to explain it than in the Honda Owners manual. It's a 2000 S if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance.

Keep trying! It may take more than a few times to get it right. Mine is also flashing, but I'm too lazy to look in the manual to see how to make it disappear.

You're supposed to hold the button that says "Trip" right? How long is long enough? 1 minute...2 minutes...? The ignition is not supposed to be on, correct? Is there a beep for me to know that it turns off or should I just guess?

I thought that you put it on the lock position hold the trip themturn the ignition to the on position. Then wait till the light goes off !?

Yep, that's how you do it. Went to Honda dealer, had them show me how. Also had my taillights replaced due to a recall. Rock out.
