How to reset the maintenance reminder for Honda URV?

[VanKaden]

Honda URV maintenance reminder reset method is as follows: 1. Turn off the ignition switch, insert the ignition key into the slot below the tachometer for reset. 2. Press and hold the button below the instrument panel on the right side of the steering column for 3 seconds to complete the reset operation. 3. Hold down the SELECT and RESET buttons on the right side of the combination instrument panel, turn on the ignition switch, release the buttons after 10 seconds, and the reset is completed. Below is an introduction to the Honda URV: 1. The URV is a product of Dongfeng Honda. The URV continues Honda's family-style design, with the headlights and grille connected under a chrome trim strip, featuring almost identical headlight assemblies. At the rear, the URV adopts a full-width taillight design, giving it a more premium look. 2. Interior: The overall design is quite neat, with a relatively simple central console layout. Additionally, the new car features the same digital instrument panel and three-spoke multifunction steering wheel as the all-new Civic. 3. Powertrain: The Honda URV is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, paired with either a 6-speed manual or CVT continuously variable transmission; maximum power is 143KW (193PS), with a peak torque of 243N·m.

Last time when I helped my brother-in-law reset the maintenance light on his URV, I noticed the procedure varies slightly by model year. For the older 2017 model, it's straightforward using just the steering wheel controls: after turning off the ignition, hold down the small black stalk on the instrument panel without releasing, then power on the electronics until you see the maintenance light flash a few times and turn yellow before letting go and waiting for it to go out. The newer post-2020 models are a bit more complicated: first turn off the engine, then repeatedly press the start button to power up the electronics without starting the engine. Once the instrument cluster fully lights up, immediately press and hold the black stalk for over 10 seconds until you see the prompt change, indicating success. After completing the procedure, remember to lock the car and wait a few minutes before restarting to check—some owners reported failure occurs when the system isn't fully powered down. If it still doesn't work, you might need to check if there's poor contact in the fuse.

As a mechanic with ten years of experience, there are three key points to pay special attention to when resetting the URV maintenance light. First, use the dashboard buttons: for 2017-2019 models, turn the key to position II and hold the TRIP button for 15 seconds; for 2020 models, hold TRIP immediately after powering on until the progress bar completes. Second, if the button method fails, check if the battery voltage is stable—ECU reset after power loss is a common cause. Finally, for newer models with full LCD dashboards, you may need to access the engineering menu: press the steering wheel track-change button, volume-down button, and call button simultaneously for 10 seconds to reveal hidden options. If all else fails, spend 50 yuan to borrow a diagnostic tool—plug it into the OBD port, select Honda’s special function, and it’ll be done in 30 seconds.

Just manually reset the maintenance light on my 2020 URV, and the five-step method proved effective: With the car completely turned off (don't press the brake), press the start button twice to power on → the yellow wrench icon appears on the dashboard → quickly press and hold the small black cylinder at the bottom right of the dashboard → watch for the wrench to turn yellow and start flashing, then begin counting → release at exactly 10 seconds → if the prompt disappears, it means success. The key is to press the button immediately upon powering on; even a 1-second delay may cause failure. Last month, I was lazy and didn't reset it in time, and as a result, the warning popped up every time I started the car, which was really annoying.

Attention all URV owners: Don't underestimate the importance of resetting maintenance reminders. Some owners couldn't clear it using physical buttons, which was actually caused by battery drain leading to ECU malfunction. Personal experience shows that using emergency jump-start power first, then performing standard reset procedures succeeded. Specific operation: For post-2020 models, power on in P gear without pressing brake, and long-press TRIP button before instrument self-test completes until setup menu appears. More troublesome for those with modified center screens - may trigger anti-theft lock preventing reset, requiring 5-minute battery negative terminal disconnection for forced reset.

Here's a tested and proven universal method: First, turn off and power down all URV models. For older models, power on and long-press the TRIP button on the steering wheel for 20 seconds. For newer models, power on and immediately press both the TRIP and steering wheel volume buttons simultaneously until the prompt disappears. Do not press the brake pedal during the process! If it fails, it's likely due to rushing the steps—wait for the self-check to complete before proceeding. Some owners have succeeded only after five attempts. A hidden tip: Press the start button three times consecutively until the dashboard fully lights up, then hold the TRIP button for better results. Remember, the system must be locked and put to sleep after completion for the changes to take effect.
