The method to reset the wrench light on a CRV is: 1. Turn off the vehicle; 2. Press and hold the menu switch button on the steering wheel; 3. Insert the key and turn it to the ON position, and the light will reset after 5 seconds. Taking the 2019 CRV as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4585mm, width 1855mm, height 1679mm, wheelbase 2660mm, fuel tank capacity 53L, and curb weight 1642kg. The 2019 CRV features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, producing a maximum horsepower of 146PS, maximum power of 107kW, and maximum torque of 175Nm, paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission.
My CRV also had the wrench light come on before, and I managed to clear it myself. First, sit in the car without pressing the brake pedal, turn the key to the 'ON' position (dashboard lights up but don't start the engine). Then, press and hold the TRIP button behind the steering wheel while watching the dashboard. After about 10 seconds, you'll see the wrench light start flashing. Keep holding the button until the indicator completely disappears before releasing. Turn off the ignition and restart the engine – the light should be gone. This method works for most older CRV models. For post-2018 newer models, you might need to access the engineering mode via the infotainment screen to reset it. If attempting DIY, I recommend checking the owner's manual for your specific model year first, as designs vary slightly between years. If repeated attempts fail, it's likely the dealership didn't fully reset the system after the last maintenance, in which case you'll need to visit a repair shop again.
