so awhile back my ac belt snapped and i never got around to replacing it, and every
time i start my car the maintenance required light flashes several times then goes away.
so last night i put my winter tires on my car, and this morning it was a constant, no
flashing and remains on (only reason i mention the changing of the tires is it was the last thing i did to the car before the light remained constant). the car is not acting differently or sounding differently. no other belts or anything noticeable like that have failed. the reason for the light remaining constant puzzles me. any insight would be appretiated.

thankyou.

 

I think the light is suppose to come on every 7,500 miles to remind you to change your oil.

Just hit the reset button

 

just changed the oil like a few weeks ago, which reset button?

 

The answer to your question in in the FAQ.

Your computer doesn't know when you change your oil....

its going to come on every 7.500miles the reset button its under the dash pretty much above ur right knee ,just hold it down till it flashes than ill go away

 

but it's not just for your oil

it's for honda's suggested scheduled maintenance thing....when it was implemented the intention was to have the dealer ONLY be the one to turn it off after service was complete (pretty dumb on Honda to think the vehicle owners wouldn't turn it off themselves)

 

i wish ill take my car to the dealer every time the light comes on that would be expensive as hell how dumb of honda

 

thanks for the feed back

do i have to remove any parts of the dash? I've looked for this button and cant seem to find it if someone has a picture or diagram of where this button is supposed to be id appreciate it if they would enlighten me on its whereabouts.

 

stick your head under the driver side dash. Attached onto the plastic dash cover, you'll see a black box with a blue button. Hold it down for a few seconds and you're done.

 

oh and by the way....
