How do you turn off the check engine light on a 2001 honda accord?
With the ignition switch off, press and hold the odometer reset button in, then turn the ignition switch to the on position but do not start the engine. After around 5 seconds the maintenance required light will go out.
When a 2001 Civic maintenance light is on the ECU is reporting that a specific service is needed on the vehicle. To reset the light the computer of the car needs to be flashed with a diagnostic tool.
In my experience with modern cars you don't. The mechanics set it and it will be reset when you take it in.
To reset the MAINTENANCE REQUIRED light:- Have key inserted in ignition but in the OFF or LOCKED position.- Push and hold the trip reset button on the right bottom corner of your gauge clutster. (this is the same button that you use to reset your mileage counter)- Turn key to full ON position and continue holding the button till the light goes off. (at least 10 seconds) The above is true for Honda accord models upto 2001 and possibly for newer ones too.
The easiest way is to disconnect the battery for 15-30 minutes.
# Turn off the engine. # Press and hold the select/reset button in the instrument panel, then turn the ignition switch ON (II) # Hold the buttons for about tenseconds, until the indicator resets. John
Have the SRS problem repaired by a professional and he will reset the light. This is not a DIY repair. Working on the air bags can be dangerous. Take it to a pro.
