What Causes the Wrench Light to Illuminate in a CR-V?
2 Answers
CR-V wrench indicator light illuminates to remind the owner to perform vehicle maintenance. Below is relevant information about vehicle maintenance: 1. Minor Maintenance: Minor maintenance generally refers to routine maintenance tasks performed at intervals specified by the manufacturer in terms of time or mileage to ensure vehicle performance. It mainly includes changing the engine oil and oil filter. The timing of minor maintenance depends on the effective duration or mileage of the engine oil and oil filter used. 2. Major Maintenance: Major maintenance refers to routine maintenance performed at intervals specified by the manufacturer in terms of time or mileage, involving the replacement of engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter.
A few days ago, my old CRV also had this light come on. It's actually just a reminder for maintenance. Honda's wrench light is a maintenance reminder symbol related to oil life. After each service, the technician resets the counter with a computer. If you forget to reset it after changing the oil yourself or if the mileage reaches the limit, this light automatically pops up. Don't worry, no need to stop immediately; just schedule your next maintenance as usual. I usually press the button on the left side of the steering wheel to flip to the maintenance info page, where I can see the countdown mileage to the next service, which gives me a better idea. A friend of mine once thought it was a fault light and ended up making an unnecessary trip to the dealership.
