Default Re: maintenance req'd light on

The Maintenance Required Indicator is just mileage based and needs to be reset. It comes on and stays on after 7,500 miles, if it was not reset since the last time.

The indicator reminds you when it is time for scheduled maintenance, it is only a mileage counter. It can't really tell when oil or other items needs to be changed, as it has no sensors.

See page 58 on how to reset it: http://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/p...u/AC0000OM.pdf
