i need help idk why my car every time i turn it on the maintain required lights blinks 10 times...is there a code for that

 

yeah, code 10 means you need to tell us WHAT YEAR the accord is

 

When the maintenance required light blinks that just tells you that your car hasn't had the maintenance required light reset for 3500 miles or so. In another 1500 miles or so it will stay on all the time. This doesn't really mean anything is wrong with the car. You can usually reset it by holding in the odometer reset button as you turn the car on, depending on year.

 

its 6gen 98 v4...

 

my car does this too... 1998 honda accord coupe ex v6

 

Maintenance reqd. light is just a reminder based on mileage. For '98 it comes on every 7500 miles to remind you to change oil & whatever other scheduled maintenance. Couple hundred miles early it flashes but doesn't stay on.

Reset it...
- Key OFF
- Press & hold the odometer reset button
- While holding that button, turn key ON (don't need to start engine)
- Continue holding that button (seems like forever)
- Lamp will blink a few times & finally it'll go out.

 

oh okay ima go do that. cuz i changed the oil about 1 month ago. like 1000 miles. probl the only maintain it may need it the antifreeze flush, what other things might i need to chk?

But like I said, that light is just a reminder based on mileage. It simply goes off again 7500 miles after you reset it. It DOES NOT measure anything and it doesn't "KNOW" what you have or have not done for maintenance.

I change oil more often than 7500 miles, so that lamp is just a nuisance. You can't reset it until it comes on. I rely on my own records for maintenance & I just reset the lamp whenever it comes on.

 

oh ok good thanks
