Here are the specific steps to reset the maintenance light on a 2019 CR-V: 1. Power on: Insert the key, but do not turn it. Hold the trip meter reset button for 5-10 seconds, then turn the key to the "ON" position. 2. Continue holding: After another 5-10 seconds, start the engine while keeping the button pressed. 3. Repeat if needed: If the wrench indicator doesn't disappear, repeat the process several times. Note that maintenance intervals vary by manufacturer and model - refer to your owner's manual for specific maintenance schedule. After service completion, technicians can reset the maintenance light through proper procedures.
For my 2019 CR-V, I always clear the wrench warning light myself, and it's super easy: First, don't press the brake pedal, just press the start button twice to illuminate all dashboard indicators (without starting the engine). Then, use your left hand to press the small arrow button on the steering wheel to navigate to the settings menu, while simultaneously holding down the long rectangular button on the right side of the dashboard with your right hand. Release when the 'Maintenance Reset' prompt appears. Confirm the selection, and the wrench symbol will disappear immediately. The key is to perform this operation with the ignition on - if you get the sequence wrong, you'll have to start over. After clearing the warning, don't forget to actually get your maintenance done. My car has 100,000 kilometers on it and stays reliable precisely because I never miss scheduled maintenance.
The 2019 CRV's maintenance reminder reset varies by trim. Mine has the high-end digital instrument cluster. With the engine off, hold the 'Home' button on the right side of the steering wheel for 5 seconds until the engineering menu appears. Select 'Vehicle Maintenance', scroll with the volume wheel to 'Reset Oil Life', and confirm. For base models, you need to press and hold the trip meter button on the instrument cluster for 10 seconds with the ignition on. Once I accidentally activated the wipers - you just need to keep the ignition on while pressing the button, no need to turn the key. New owners should keep kids from randomly pressing buttons while seated in the car.
