Maint Req light

#1

All,
The maintenance required light on my 2004 Accord is flashing again (10
times) and the reset procedure is not working to eliminate it. In the past I
have been able to reset it with no problem. I must have tried 20 times to
reset this thing, is there a reason it will not allow a reset? Thanks in
advance.

Are ALL the car's lights OFF when you try the procedure?

Why would I want to do that? :-{

I didn't get your response Tegger but it was with Tooomy's. The lights off
did the trick.
Thanks

You're welcome.

The lights-off thing even fools dealership techs.

There's no codes involved, the maintenance light is not the check engine
light. Its just a reminder to change the oil. A little piece of Honda
wierdness.

I'm pretty sure Toyotas have that feature too. And chances are that other
car makers have it as well.
