When the maintenance light comes on, you should go to an authorized service center for maintenance as soon as possible. The technicians there will use a car diagnostic tool to reset the maintenance light. However, if the light does not reset after maintenance, you will need to follow the steps mentioned above to reset it. Resetting the CR-V maintenance light is essential for ensuring the accuracy of the next maintenance data, making this step very necessary.
I always reset the maintenance light on my 2018 CRV by myself. First, completely turn off the engine, then press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard. Next, turn the key to the ignition-on position without starting the engine. You'll see the maintenance reminder light flashing continuously. Wait about 10 seconds before releasing the button, then immediately press the TRIP button once more to turn off the light. This method works for most Honda models—just two minutes of DIY work saves a trip to the dealership. Keep your hands steady during the process; pressing too briefly may fail. As a reminder, after resetting, stick to timely oil changes—the CRV is quite sensitive to oil quality, and 0W-20 low-viscosity oil better protects the engine.
