The method to reset the maintenance light on the 10th-generation Accord is to press and hold the reset button on the dashboard. Taking the 2021 10th-generation Accord as an example, it is a mid-size sedan with body dimensions of 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, 1449mm in height, a wheelbase of 2830mm, a minimum ground clearance of 150mm, and a curb weight of 1495kg. The 2021 10th-generation Accord is equipped with a 1.5T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 194PS, a maximum torque of 260Nm, and a maximum power of 143kW, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
When I used to drive the 10th-gen Accord, the maintenance light coming on was quite annoying, but the reset method is simple and can be done by yourself. First, make sure the car is parked and turned off, with the key in the fully off position. Then, press and hold the round TRIP button on the dashboard without letting go. Next, turn the key to the ON position—do not start the engine, just power it on. Wait patiently for about ten seconds, and the maintenance indicator light on the dashboard will blink a few times and gradually turn off. If it doesn’t work the first time, try two or three more times—it usually works fine. Starting from the 10th generation, the Accord’s design is very user-friendly, allowing even regular owners like me to handle it easily. After resetting, don’t ignore the regular maintenance reminders—change the oil and check the filters on time to keep the car running long. Honda’s maintenance reminder system is very practical, so don’t take it lightly.
