How to Reset the Maintenance Light on the 10th Generation Accord?
2 Answers
The method 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 information to the warning message page, and then press the scroll wheel to successfully reset the maintenance light. When the maintenance light on the vehicle's dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle requires maintenance. Routine vehicle maintenance involves changing the engine oil and other fluids, replacing the oil filter, air filter, and other consumable rubber parts and slowly wearing components. In addition to replacing these parts, the vehicle should also be inspected. Maintenance intervals and mileage are not fixed; owners can schedule maintenance based on their own circumstances. If the vehicle is typically used in favorable conditions and driven gently, maintenance can be appropriately delayed. If the vehicle is often used in harsh conditions, driven aggressively, or roughly, it may be advisable to perform maintenance earlier. Regular inspections and maintenance are essential to maintaining the vehicle's optimal performance and ensuring driving safety.
I've been driving my 10th-generation Accord for over two years now, and resetting the maintenance light is something I can easily do myself. First, completely turn off the car and locate the TRIP button on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. Press and hold it down. Then, turn the key to the ON position (or press the start button twice for keyless start models) to power up the instrument panel—just make sure not to press the brake to start the engine. Keep holding the TRIP button for about 10 seconds until you see the yellow wrench icon on the dashboard flash a few times and disappear. If it doesn’t work the first time, you might not have held it long enough—just try again. Doing these small tasks yourself is pretty fun and saves a trip to the dealership. Just remember to reset it after every service, or the system will keep reminding you.
