How to reset the wrench light on the 10th generation Accord?

Here are the specific steps to reset the wrench light on the 10th generation Accord: 1. Turn on the ignition switch, press the reset button on the instrument panel until the odometer displays 0. (Note: Before the car has been serviced, do not perform the reset operation just because the maintenance light is on. This will cause the accumulated maintenance mileage to be incorrect, and the maintenance light will lose its function of reminding you of maintenance.) 2. Turn off the ignition switch, insert the ignition key into the slot below the tachometer for reset. 3. 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. 4. Press and hold the SELECT and RESET buttons on the right side of the combination meter, turn on the ignition switch, release the buttons after 10 seconds, and the reset is completed.
My tenth-generation Accord has been running for over a year, and the little wrench light occasionally comes on to remind me it's time for maintenance. Actually, resetting it is quite simple. After starting the car normally, don't press the brake pedal—first turn the ignition switch to the second position (where the dashboard lights up but the engine doesn't start). Then, press and hold the selection button on the right side of the dashboard for about ten seconds, and the wrench light will disappear. Remember, always do this after maintenance; otherwise, the next reminder might not be accurate. I tried it myself once—it saved me a trip to the dealership and taught me a little car maintenance trick. I recommend checking the oil and filters periodically to prevent issues. This method works for most Honda models, but make sure to close the doors securely before operating for safety.
