So this was a maintenance required light, and you're driving a 2001+ civic? If so, and the car has been mantained, you can just turn it off. It comes on at a certain mileage to remind you to go get ripped off at the dealer for maintenance.

 

no it is on a 97 civic ex

 

It means the same thing. It's a colored wheels that is attached to the odometer. If you perform regular maintenance on your car, just reset it by sticking your key in the slot.

Things like the timing belt and other mileage related maintenace items is referenced in your owner's manual.

 

it means your car is going to blow up naw j/p what he said above ^^

 

you have a belt, not a chain.

 

yeah sorry bout the chain thing. thanks a lot guys

 

Are you sure it doesn't mean replace your engine?

Buy a service manual, it will be your best friend.

 

it goes off every 7500 i thought and the belt is like every 105 thou or somethin

 

It means you need to rotate your tires.
