my friend was messing around and stuck the key in the cluster slot, and made the maintenance required indicator light on (green) any one know what green means? and how to turn it off?? its getting me worried driving with that light on

 

it clicks around with the odometer
as long as maint. is kept up to date there is no need for it

yup
and also green is the neutral color, its when its yellow or red that you have to worry about... usually it means you need some maintenance

 

If its green then you reset it. It should turn red in about 3-5k miles.

 

I mean, NO you broke that cluster. It is NO GOOD now.

I'll but it from you for a REALLY good price since its broken.

is it really broken?

 

YES its broken

(......no)

 

^^no need

well how to i reset it? and mine is like that as well its only green when the lights are one, when there off, its blank

 

you did reset it, thats why its green (its just a sticker, it doesnt turn on or off)
Its only connected to the odometer to remind dumb people to have their oil changed.

Why do people think this is a big deal...
19t, I think youre confused

Helms or chiltons are you best friend

 

its a million times less complicated than you think it is...
How many miles has it been since your last oil change? When was the last time ANY maintenance done on the car?

Now, a big tip:
forget you even have that little colored wheel in the cluster and keep track on your own

 

i just recently got the car so im not sure, but i should change it any ways, but how much oil do i need? thanks for all the help

 

look in your owners manual

 

Holy moly. Lol.

Your question is simple and has already been answered. The light isnt a big deal. All you did was reset it so its Nuetral now. As if you just got maintanance done. Green = Good Orange = Not so bad Red = Bad. Bad being bad for you you haven't done maintanance to your car recently. The light is not a big deal at all.

All it means is that the "service Reminder Light" (which is what that thing is) has been reset. THAT IS ALL. It is just a litle rotating thing that is run off the odometer. It does nnot have any mechanical or electrical input from ANYTHING else in your car.

Seriously man, if you have to hae a little green button remind you that you need your oil changed......

And yes, its totally broken. I'll give you $150 for the cluster.

 

oh, well I'm on top of the maintenance

I just never noticed it before, so I got worried, thanks

 

i was gonna be a dick and just tell you its broken but its not. since your new to the whole honda thing i'll help you out. your ok the green light is on. IT WILL GO AWAY. make sure u keep up with maintenence or that lil green light will turn red on you
