BAN please until NOOB can search LMAO

I'm not being a dick but hell you can even read the car manual in the glove box or search the oh so many pointless threads created like this one answering the same questions.

IT'S A DUMMY LIGHT. Now please search to learn how to turn it off

Press/hold the trip odometer for a few seconds while turning the ignition on. Its a lot easier to just answer the question sometimes.

You can also go to Pep boys...or places like auto-zone and they can do a check engine light diagnostics test...usually free I believe.

Maintenance required light is not, or like the check engine light. It's simply a light that comes on after I believe every 5k miles from being reset to let you know to get an oil change. No need for a diagnostic check.

Wat!!?!? Someone asks the same question that has been answered a million times before like everyweek or every other week. It will be about the stoopidest crap ever like a damn maintence light or what suspension should i get or what part should i buy!! No one uses the damn search on this site. Someone will always answer the noobs question in the thread instead making them search. Its mad beat!!

People are just lazy and figure that asking is easier than searching and then we tell them to search but they just bitch or wait until some one answers it instead of searching so they figure they can do that everytime or they are noobs and have never been on a forum!!

lol very true...touche...but I guess people are noobs to that too...even though I think this website would be harder to figure out than hitting a search button...so who knows...but no matter what anyone says or does, there will always be people out there doing stupid Sh*t...but that's life lol...you guys seem to be doing a good job at keeping it off of Honda-Tech though...every other thread contains somebody getting their *** chewed to pieces...lol

I think Honda-Tech mods should monitor noobs for the first month or so... to avoid this... I also think a test should be given making sure they read the god damn rules of the forum! Whoever fails can't try again for another week!

I am fed up and where are the mods??? They have been nowhere to be found!
