This works for a 2000 Honda Odyssey - it may also work for a 2002...try it.
Of course you are free to have the service performed anywhere you like. It is not required that the services be performed at the dealer. As for the Maintenance Required Light, you, or your mechanic, can reset it. Here's how to reset the light:
That's all there is to it.
i tried all procedures, and mine still won't go off!
get your brakes fixed....
How do you reset the maintenance light on a 2001 Honda accord ex I found some options at http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/maintenance-reqd-light.html#why
its not a light,reset with your key
Resetting the maintenance light on a 1998 Odyssey is very easy to do. All you need to do is hold the reset button down and then turn the ignition on at the same time. The button will need to be held for 10 seconds.
You can't reset that light...there is no such thing as a 2002 Honda Element...they didn't come out until 2003.
If the Odyssey uses the same routine as a Toyota, reset is accomplished by setting the mileage meter to total [as opposed to Trip A, Trip B] and then turning the ignition key to off. Then, holding the mileage reset button down, turning the ignition switch back on...continuing to hold the reset button .... in 5-10 seconds the maintenance 'reminder' light should go out.
In my experience with modern cars you don't. The mechanics set it and it will be reset when you take it in.
First have the problem that turned the light on repaired. Then use an OBD2 scan tool to reset the light.
Get your oil changed, and have the service reminder reset.
see you tube...theres a fix on there
You can reset it with your OBD reader or you can disconnect the negative battery cable for a couple of minutes to reset the check engine light.
