How do you reset the maitenance reminder light on a 2001 Honda Accord?

Question

I just purchased this 2001 Accord EX coupe, and I usually change my own oil .. How do I reset the Maintenance Requires light ??

Answer 1

You have a button that sticks out of the odometer that is used to reset the trip odometer on that car. The button is labeled "trip/reset". The reset is for the maintenance light.

to reset the light, put the key in the ignition but do not turn it on yet. with your right hand, push in and hold the trip/reset button. Keep holding the button in and use your other hand to turn the ignition key ON so that the lights on the instrument panel come on (you don't have to start the engine, just turn it so the warning lights come on). Keep holding the trip/reset button in while you watch the maintance required light. Hold the button in until that light goes out (15-30 seconds). When the maintenance required light goes out, turn the ignition key OFF then release the trip/reset button. The maintenance required light will be reset for another 3500 miles or so, whatever the oil change maintanence interval on that car was (3,750 miles for the V-6 or 5,000 miles for the 4 cylinder)

hope that answers your question
