Hello i just got my civic a few weeks ago. last weekend i drove it a few hundred miles and my maintaince required light came on. does this mean i need to take it to a mechanic or is it like an oil change light. also is there a way to turn it off. if anyone know i would appreciate it.
Thanks[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Boy are you going to get it.

Try searching it helps.
BTW: No you don't need to take it to a mechanic

another reason to get that manual [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG]

every X amount of miles, the light will come on. reset by holding the odometer button and then putting your car in start.

FYI...Hold down the trip button and turn the key to the second postion(no need to start it)...Keep holding it down until all the lights turn off on the dash(most of them will...you'll know)...Keep holding it and turn key back...Then let go of the trip button...YOU'RE ALL SET!!

Mine came on @ 13,500 and my service advisor showed me how to reset it...Hope this helps

for a few hundred miles? that's wierd. just like somebody suggested, go back to your dealership and ask them to check the engine. the maintenance required shouldn't lit that fast. good luck.

I believe that it is a USED vic...(?)
Probably more than just a few hundred miles on it...maybe that's why it came on...

the light first come on for 2 second when you start you car if you didnt have a service in like 5,000 then it blinks a couple of time after you start your car if you didnt have maitance for 8,000 and then it stays on the whole time if you did not have maintance for 10,000!!!! By the way tx for the pit on how to turbn it off i hade my service done yester day and they didnt not reset the light nor did they give me a sticker on when my next service and oilchange is nor did they refill all engine fluids i'm never going to coggin honda again lol!!!
