How to Cancel the Wrench Symbol on the 10th Generation Accord?
3 Answers
The process to eliminate the small wrench symbol is the same; just repeat the operation a few more times. The "small wrench" is a maintenance indicator, reminding the driver to perform timely maintenance. Here is more information about car maintenance: 1. Introduction: Car maintenance, also known as car servicing, refers to the regular preventive work of inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car. 2. Purpose: To keep the car clean and tidy, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, and extend the service life. 3. Types: Regular maintenance is divided into three aspects: body maintenance, interior maintenance, and body refurbishment.
A few days ago, my car also lit up this wrench light—what a scare! This is the maintenance reminder indicator for the 10th-generation Accord, not a fault alarm. It simply tells you it's time for an oil change or service. Canceling it isn’t hard: First, get in the car without pressing the brake, press the start button twice to put the car in ON mode (but don’t start the engine). Then, use the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to toggle left and right until you find the settings menu on the dashboard. Select the maintenance option and confirm the oil life reset—done! But if the operation doesn’t go smoothly or the light keeps flashing, you’ll likely need to visit an authorized 4S shop for a professional tool reset. Don’t force it—I’ve tried doing it myself too many times and ended up messing up the system, wasting more time. Remember, even if the light goes off, don’t skip the maintenance, or your car’s fuel consumption will increase, the engine will wear out faster, and repairs will cost you more.
Last time I drove my Accord, the wrench light came on, which gave me a bit of a scare. After checking, I realized it was just the service reminder light. Canceling it is simple: turn the key to the ACC position without starting the engine, then use the multi-function steering wheel's up and down buttons to navigate to the maintenance menu, select the oil life reset option, and confirm. I often tinker with these things myself because the Accord's system is user-friendly—even beginners can give it a try. But if the light keeps flashing or doesn’t respond to the steps, it’s likely a system issue or the last service wasn’t logged. In that case, don’t force it—just drive to a repair shop and let a technician handle it to avoid any mishaps that might affect the dashboard. By the way, the maintenance light is actually there for your safety, reminding you to change the oil and get regular check-ups. Ignoring it could lead to oil leaks or engine overheating, so make sure to address it before any long trips.
