My maintenance required light is on and my car seems to be running great only 51,600 miles on it and it's a 2004 Civic EX coupe. I disconnected the negative battery cable and that did nothing....any suggestions on reseting it?

 

o yeah dude i posted this up not to long ago but hey all u need to do is shut off ur car and press that button where u reset ur miles when you refill on gass but hold down that button untill u start it up for about 10 sec or so it should shut off by itself..

When are people going to learn that on these cars, the only thing disconnecting the battery cable does is kick you out of the radio and makes you have to put in the code to get it to work again.

Shut car off
press trip odometer reset button
turn ignition key to ON position
hold odometer button for 10 seconds
You are done.

 

Thanks a lot man i went outside and did that just now and it worked like a charm!


In reference to the other guys post i have an aftermarket stereo and it didn't affect it at all, didn't even have to save my favorite stations or anything

I used to disconnect my '99 civic's battery all the time to reset my CEL and it worked fine. Either way, case solved.

 

ur main't light is gonan come on about every 10k i believe...not sure but nothing major or n e thing

 

so is that just a ploy to get me to take it into the dealership to give Honda more $$$$?
