hi, dont know why the Maintenance light still on even though already changed the oil. anyone help please.

 

It can sometimes be as simple as the gas cap not being tightened properly.....

 

for what car? on my si it comes on like every 9-10k miles to let you know that you need an oil change tire rotation. the only way to clear it is to get a computer and over right it.

 

acura rsx s.
should i bring to the dealer?

 

the only way to clear it is with the computer. you can buy one or take it to the dealer but the dealer is gonna charge you alot. try going to some shops to see if they have one. all you have to do is plug the computer n under the dash and then over right the maint light. take only a couple of seconds. if you wanna buy a computer they sell for like 130? up

 

Yea , That Problem Can Only Be Solved By The Honda Computer... Yo, My Boy Is Manager Of The Parts And Service Department At My Local Ac Dealer.. He Told Me That When That Light Comes On, Only Their Computer Can Troubleshoot The Problem,let You Know What The Problem Is , When It Came About To What Rev You Was At When It Happened... Its Like A 4k Piece Of Equipment.. Pretty Hot.. But You Check Out Ya Local Honda Or Ac Dealer To Help You Out

 

naw the computer isnt 4k its only a couple hundred dollers you can get it at northern or any place like that just make sure you get the right one for you car they use diffrent models for imports and domestic cars and by years of the car.

 

oh word? ok ima check into that..

maybe my boy can hook me up with that computer you are talkin about chubbs

 

To get rid of the maintenance light you DO NOT need a computer. Try reading your owners manual and it will tell you how to reset it. I have done this with my 04 Type-S. This is how to turn it off. Its a simple as turn off your car, with the keys out of the ignition, push and hold down the Select, and Reset button for your odometer. While holding them down put your keys in and turn the car to the run position but don't turn the car on. The (MRL) will blinks once, and the wait about another 5-10 seconds and the light will then turn off. You can now release the to buttons. Now just turn the car back to the off position, and go ahead and start the car up. The Maintenance Required Light will now be off. This is also in the OWNERS MANUAL.

The computer is how they get you to pay for something you don't need. That is the price you pay for not reading the information that came with the car I guess.

 

haha dam im gonna try it then on my car... ya i didnt even read one page n my owners manual haha. reading sucks. everything should be in pictures
