How to Reset the Oil Maintenance Light on Honda CRV?
2 Answers
Press and hold the "A" button without releasing it, while simultaneously stepping on the brake pedal. Do not start the engine, but ensure the vehicle's power is turned on. Continue holding the "A" button, and "..." will appear on the dashboard. The illuminated maintenance light indicates that the vehicle requires servicing. Release the brake pedal and the "A" button. The reset process is now complete; turn off the power. Although the mechanical lifespan of vehicles has become longer than before.
I remember helping a friend with the CRV maintenance light at the 4S shop last time. Turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, and when the yellow exclamation mark appears on the dashboard, hold down the trip reset button. Wait about 15 seconds until a menu pops up on the dashboard, then select the oil life option and confirm. The key is timing accuracy—I've seen many owners release too quickly and have to repeat the process three times. Older models without a center console knob require using the steering wheel buttons to access the settings menu and reset it under the vehicle maintenance option. Newer models with LCD screens are simpler—just use the right directional button on the steering wheel to find the maintenance info interface and reset it. If you do it yourself, turn off the power and try twice, otherwise, the light suddenly coming on during highway driving can be very annoying.
