Best Answer

The maintenance light automatically starts flashing when you reach a certain mileage. It does not mean that you need to do maintenance (although scheduled maintenance is recommended), it is just a reminder. Additionally, it is a reminder to change your oil. If you reset it each time you change you oil, then supposedly based on how you drive it the car will tell you to when to change the oil.

To reset your maintenance light, follow this procedure

Odometer reset button procedure # Turn the key to the II position (but not to III, or START) # Turn the key to the 0 (OFF) position, then push -- and hold -- the trip odometer reset button

# Turn the key back to the II position, while still holding the button # After about 10-15 seconds, the light should go off # Release button and turn key to 0. (source: http:/www.tegger.com/hondafaq/maintenance-reqd-light.html )
