How to reset the maintenance light on Dongfeng Honda?
2 Answers
Dongfeng Honda maintenance light reset method: 1. Turn the vehicle ignition switch to ON mode. 2. Repeatedly press the SEL/RESET button until "Maintenance" appears on the display, then press the Enter button. The engine oil monitor information will then appear on the screen. 3. Hold the Enter button for about 10 seconds, and the maintenance light will be reset. Here is some relevant information: 1. The wrench symbol displayed on the car dashboard is set by the manufacturer to remind the owner to perform maintenance at regular intervals according to mileage. This means when this light stays on for a long time, you should go to a 4S shop for maintenance. Different vehicle models from different companies have different maintenance intervals, which should be based on the vehicle's user manual. 2. After maintenance is completed, there is a reset procedure to zero the maintenance light. If not reset, the indicator light will remain on even after maintenance is performed. 3. The vehicle's maintenance cycle is preset when the car leaves the factory, so the "small wrench" symbol will appear at certain mileage intervals to remind the driver to perform timely maintenance. Typically, our car maintenance cycle is every 5,000–8,000 kilometers, while the factory-set cycle is generally longer than 8,000 kilometers.
That maintenance light is so annoying. I've worked on cars for twenty years and seen many owners struggle with it. Actually, resetting the Dongfeng Honda maintenance light isn't difficult. Turn off the ignition without starting the engine, press and hold the ODO/TRIP button, then turn the ignition back on while keeping the button pressed for 5-10 seconds. Usually, the light will go off. This method works well for older models, but for newer ones, you might need to check the manual for specific instructions. Remember, when the light comes on, it's reminding you to do maintenance like changing the oil and filters. Don't delay these tasks as aged oil can damage the engine. Avoid using excessive force or improper methods, as you might end up with a light that won't turn off, possibly indicating a sensor issue. Resetting it promptly after maintenance can extend your car's lifespan. If all else fails, consider buying an OBD device or visiting a dealership to get it sorted in one go.
