How to reset the maintenance wrench light on Honda Inspire?
3 Answers
First, start the Honda Inspire vehicle to perform the maintenance light reset. To start the vehicle, simply press the start button once. The maintenance reminder will appear on the Honda Inspire's instrument panel. Then, press the SET button on the steering wheel. Press the cancel button on the Honda Inspire's steering wheel to reset the maintenance light.
I also drive a Honda Inspire. Last month after maintenance, the wrench light came on, and I cleared it myself. First, park the car in a spot and turn off the engine to ensure safety—don’t move it. Take out the key, and while the lights are off, press and hold the SELECT button on the right side of the steering wheel without releasing it. Then turn the key to the ON position, which is the ignition position where the electronics start but the engine doesn’t fire up. Keep holding the button for about 10 to 15 seconds, and the wrench light will flash a few times before turning off. Once done, turn off the key and start the engine again to check—it should be gone. This reminder is a timer set after maintenance; if not reset, it will falsely indicate the next service time, which can be quite annoying. I recommend doing this every time after maintenance to make it a habit. Stay focused during the process—don’t get distracted or attempt it while driving, as that’s dangerous.
I used to help friends with this issue frequently. Resetting the wrench light on Honda models like the Inspire is quite simple. After parking and turning off the engine, locate and hold the SELECT button on the steering wheel. Turn the key to the ON position to power up the dashboard without starting the engine. Continue holding the button for about 10 seconds, and the light will reset automatically. If it doesn't work the first time, trying once more usually does the trick. Actually, the maintenance reminder light is just a timer set to ensure regular servicing - resetting it restarts the countdown without causing false alerts. Remember to perform this operation safely, never on the road. While button placement may vary slightly in newer models, the method remains universally applicable. Doing it yourself saves time and effort.
