2 Answers
To reset the maintenance wrench on the new Accord, follow these steps: 1. With the vehicle completely stopped, set the power mode to ON. 2. After the dashboard lights up, use the left selector wheel on the steering wheel to switch the dashboard display to the warning message. 3. Finally, press the left selector wheel to complete the reset, and the maintenance wrench will be successfully reset. Additional information: 1. The Accord is a mid-size car under Honda. Its body dimensions are 4893mm × 1862mm × 1449mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm. 2. It comes in two versions: a fuel-powered model and a hybrid model. The fuel-powered model is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine in high and low versions, with maximum power outputs of 130kw and 143kw, and peak torques of 230Nm and 260Nm.
I recently tried resetting the maintenance wrench light myself, and it's super easy on the new Accord—perfect for young car owners like us to play around with. Here's how: First, sit in the driver's seat, turn the key to the ON position (don't start the engine), just enough to light up the dashboard. Then locate the select button or multifunction button near the steering wheel, hold it down for about 5 to 10 seconds, and watch the maintenance indicator—the little wrench icon will blink and then turn off, indicating success. The whole process takes just a minute or two, saving you a trip to the dealership. By the way, I do this after every scheduled maintenance because leaving the light on for too long can lead to misleading reminders and affect your driving mood. Remember, the key to keeping your engine healthy is changing the oil on time—don't slack off. There are also plenty of intuitive video tutorials online—just search and you can give it a try, it's pretty fun. This method works for newer models—my car bought last year had no issues.
