Default check engine light came on the other night

so the light came on but ive been told by many that its just a mileage thing in most cases that sets that lil bastard off... just to make sure im ok, what usually is scheduled for the teg at around 111,000 miles on it? tune up? timing belt? anyways i had my buddy help me find the switch cuz that shyt was getting annoying, but i want to know if its something i should look into or just keep driving. The car isnt acting up in any way so i think i should be ok but i dont want to run until somethin goes really bad either.

thanks in advance.....

Are you talking about the "required maintenance" light? If you do in fact have a check engine light, post up the code and I could give you some feedback on it.

check engine light means something isn't working.

Pull the code and find out what's wrong

I figured that's what you were talking about. This is the 112,500 mi. recommended service for a Integra:

Replace engine oil and filter.
Inspect front and rear brakes.
Check pads and discs for wear (thickness) and damage.
Check calipers for leaks and check tightness of mount bolts.
Inspect tie-rod ends, steering gearbox and rack boots.
Check steering linkage for looseness.
Check fluid lines for damage and leaks.
Check condition of rack boots.
Inspect suspension components.
Check bolts for tightness.
Check condition of ball joint boots for deterioration and damage.
Inspect driveshaft for cracks and check boot bands for tightness.

maint. req. light is to tell you to change the engine oil, once you change it you can reset it, the box is located under the plastic dash part that is under the sterring wheel on the bottom right hand side (while sitting on the drivers seat), there is a button you press and it will reset it...
