How to Reset the Maintenance Light on the 10th Generation Accord?
2 Answers
To reset the maintenance light on the 10th generation Accord: First, turn on the vehicle's power, then locate the scroll wheel on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel. Use the scroll wheel to navigate the instrument panel to the warning message page, and then press the scroll wheel to successfully reset the maintenance light. Here are some related details: 1. Meaning of the maintenance light: When the maintenance light appears on the vehicle's dashboard, it indicates that the vehicle requires maintenance. 2. Routine maintenance items: Routine maintenance involves replacing engine oil and other fluids, oil filters, air filters, as well as some wear-prone rubber parts and slowly wearing components. In addition to replacing these parts, the vehicle should also be inspected. 3. Maintenance intervals: Maintenance time and mileage are not fixed. Owners can schedule maintenance based on their usage. If the vehicle is used in a favorable environment and driven gently, maintenance can be delayed appropriately. If the vehicle is used in harsh conditions or driven aggressively, consider performing maintenance earlier. Regular checks and maintenance are essential to keep the vehicle running smoothly and ensure driving safety.
I just dealt with the maintenance light on my 10th-gen Accord last time, and resetting it was quite straightforward. First, make sure the car is turned off, then sit in the driver's seat and press and hold the TRIP button under the steering wheel with your left hand—don't let go. Next, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine; the dashboard will light up and display some information. Keep holding the TRIP button for about 10 seconds, and you'll see a prompt indicating that the maintenance light is resetting or the count is being zeroed—only then can you release the button. Turn off the power, wait a few seconds, and then start the engine to check; the light should be gone. Why do this? Because the light comes on every 5,000 km or so to remind you to change the oil. If you don't reset it after maintenance, it will keep flashing, which is annoying but doesn't affect driving safety. Make sure you've actually changed the oil before doing this step, or the system will still be counting the mileage. Experienced drivers like me, who've been driving for years, develop the habit of checking—no harm in that.
