I've had my car for a little less than 2 months now, and everything has been fine. I have a 1997 Prelude and just today the "Maintenance Required" status changed from green to yellow and I have no clue what could be wrong with it. I just got the oil and filter changed 400 miles ago and the only thing I could think of is that the battery may be running low because of my amp and subs, or that the O2 sensor may be off because I live at the beach. Any suggestions or should I just take it to an auto shop and let them look at it? Thanx.

 

if u just gave it a maintenance..... did u remember to reset the maintenance buttom? its right next to the box...stick a little stick in it n it will reset... that all u have to do...

 

yea it doesn't mean anything, it changes purely with mileage. a way for honda to make $ when people bring their cars in.

 

if you let it go it will again change from yellow to red..

 

Yah, I asked my friend about it and he just told me to stick my key in it..... so, yah, I'ma dumbass. Thanx for the help guys.

 

Just be glad it's not a BMW..... only the dealer can reset their maintainance computer.

 

Yah, my dad's got an '02 M3 and it's a pain in the ass when it's time.

 

my 98 changes to red every 7500miles and it's just to remind you to change the oil, not for maintenance. Just push your key in there everytime you change your oil.
