my father's 95 4 door integra (B18b) "maint reqd" light went on today and stayed on. i mean, it would go on everytime we start the car, but it would go off after.

what does it mean?

what can i do to fix it?

do i just reset the ECU? how?

 

there's a little button under the panel under the steering wheel by your right knee. turn the keys to "acc" and hold the button for a few seconds, and it will reset the light.
there's nothing wrong with your car, that's a reminder light to have your car inspected at a certain mileage interval.

 

thanks a lot! BTW, is this button covered by a panel in any way ? or is it out in the open ?

 

had the same prob. this summer. it comes on when ur supposed to change timing belt, get insp., ect. there is nothing wrong it is just a reminder. to the right of your steering wheel uner the dash reach under it and feel around. its a decent sized button. its not in the open but u can feel in like three seconds. turn to ac. hold for five seconds then turn the key to off then start the car and it should be gone. gl

 

Just hit the button for a few and it will go away. Just remember you oil changes and Tune Ups. That's why they have those silly lights.......its also so you'll go to the dealership so they can make $.

 

dealerships rip you off
do the **** yourself

 

thanks guys! i was looking around for the button but i couldn't seem to find it. btw, i live in canada. does it matter if its a CDN model ? i'll look again when my dad gets home

if anyone could post a pic that'd be great!

 

read this!

 

if someone would've told me that it was behind a panel instead of " feel around underneath the steering wheel " everything might've been a lot simpler

thanks for the help sabotage7!

 

lol...no problem!....its hard to find the spot your first time!
