Instructions are located on Page 59 of the Owner's Manual for a 2004 CR-V (Instrument Panel section, under Maintenance Required Indicator).
1) Turn off the engine
2) Press & hold the Select/Reset button on the instrument panel (the bar-type button to the bottom right of the speedometer), then turn the ignition switch to on.
3) Continue to hold the button for about 10 seconds until the indicator light goes off.
I've got a 2004 model myself. This works like a charm.
Good luck!
It normally means you need to change the oil/filter. But it can also mean other maintenance is required. Refer to your owner's manual.
It means there is scheduled maintenance required based on your mileage. Can be just an oil change or can be something else like you need to replace the cam belt. Open your owner's manual and it will tell you exactly what is needed.
Permanent filter in the fuel tank. No regular maintenance required.
Press 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 go out.
How do you reset the maintenance required light on a 2004 Honda CRV Do you take it to the dealer This is 60K plus miles.?" Hold Down the trip counter button make sure it is on miles as you hold it down and have it down slowly turn on the key and that should reset it or just take the battery cable off if you don't want to go through all that.
It is a permanent filter mounted in the fuel tank. No maintenance is required.
My guess is that it means there is some maintenance required. The light usually comes at certain milage intervals unless there is a failure somewhere in the engine or related systems. You might go to an AutoZone auto parts store and they will be able to determine the failure code. Some times they can advise you of the necessary replacemment part. Other times you'll just have to go to the Honda dealer.
If you have done the required work to correct the problem, all you then have to do is remove the battery cables from the battery, wait 10 seconds then replace them. This will reset the check engine light. The above answer is incorrect. Removing the battery cable will not reset the check engine light. This must be done with an OBD2 scan tool. You said maintenance required light. Are you referring to the light that reminds you to change the oil. If so, you can reset this light according to instructions found in your owner's manual.
This information is listed in your owners manual. Try holding the odometer reset button in while turning on the ignition. Wait for the light to go out. This may or may not work. It works on my 2004 Accord.
Read the owners manual. It has step-by-step instructions.
No, the timing chain should last the life of the engine. No maintenance is required.
Turn off the engine. Press and hold the select/reset button in the instrument panel, then turn the ignition switch ON (II). Hold the button until the indicator resets (approximately ten seconds).
