do a search for "maintenance light" and you should be able to figure out how to reset it... there's a little button on the driver's side near where your knee would be...

Re: check engine light on (xintegra01)
please clarify whether you are talkin about the maintenance required light or the check engine light.
Maintenance Required - this is something that goes off at preset mileage levels to let you know its about time for a scheduled maintenance, it does not by any means indicate a problem or anything so don't worrie, nothing is wrong. The maintenance required at each mileage level varies a bit so let us kno what mileage your at if you want to kno what the factory maintenance schedule dictates for your car... and if you want to reset the light as the dealership does after it services your car, there is a small box mounted under your steering area down closer to your feet and on it is a small button that you hold down rite after you've started your car and the car is idling... hold it down for like couple secs and you can see the maint. req light go off... simple as that.
Check engine light (CEL) - indicates ur ECU senses something is wrong and is throwing a code. In order to figure out what is wrong, you can check out what code it is by sticking a paperclip or wire into the small harness near teh passenger kick panel, pictures of this an descriptions of this procedure can be found on team-integra.net and restart your car once you've got that clip or wire in, and watch for how many times the cel blinks to decipher the code. Then just look up the code on team-integra.net's site or check ur helms manual.
ok.. that was a long *** reply... does that sufficiently answer your question?
