You can't reset that light...there is no such thing as a 2002 Honda Element...they didn't come out until 2003.
How do you reset 2008 honda element service light?
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
Here is how you reset it on an Accord so I would think it would be the same on an Element. Push and hold the odometer reset button while at the same time turning the ignition on without starting the engine. After 5 seconds the light will reset.
its not a light,reset with your key
One way to reset a 2005 Honda Element check engine light is to disconnect the battery. The battery will need to be disconnected for about 5 minutes for the light to reset.
To turn off the maintenance required light on a 2006 Honda Element, first, turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine. Then, press the gas pedal three times within five seconds. After this, the maintenance light should reset and turn off. If it doesn't, check if the vehicle requires any actual maintenance or consult the owner's manual for further troubleshooting.
In my experience with modern cars you don't. The mechanics set it and it will be reset when you take it in.
This is how it is done on a Honda Accord and your Element should be the same. Push and hold the odometer reset button in while at the same time turning the ignition switch to the on position without starting the engine. After 5 seconds the light will reset.
It must be reset by a Honda Dealer. The light is on because there is a problem with the system. I am sure you do not want the airbag to not function as it should or prematurely deploy.
Get your oil changed, and have the service reminder reset.
see you tube...theres a fix on there
