I have a 2001 Civic LX and the maintenace required light stays on while driving and blinks maybe 5 times while starting.

I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death but i thought since this is a 2001 the procedure may be a little different.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

 

check out www.jdmfan.com and www.c-speedracing.com for a tutorial on how to diagnose the problem.

 

Something may not be registering with the cars ECU. Unplug the battery for like 20 minutes, then plug it back in, start the car and let it Idle for about 15. This will reset the ECU, and hopefully fix the problem.

 

You people have no idea what you're talking about.

To reset your ECU you just remove the 7.5 amp fuse from the fuse box inside the engine bay. You take it out for like 2 minutes and put it back in. This will reset your ECU.

 

Either or will work. appreciate the sarcasm though

 

:chuckles: :fawk:

i like the fuse idea... cuz you don't have to reset your HU to your settings each time u do it.. thats a bish todo

 

Dude, there are two 7.5amp fuses in the engine bay, which one.

One says "Radio Backup" and one is "courtesy light".

 

Thanks for the replies, I am going to take it to the Honda dealership, I couldn't find the tutorial on those sites.
