Did you read the thread before you making that post?
NEWARK-aveP-NJ I dont know whats the problem might be.Maintanace Required light turned off when i just held down on trip meter before you turn on the car. Light "should" be gone when you do that but i guess not. Try couple more times. if that doesnt work . Call local honda and ask them about it. I am sure they have some solution to turn off that light.

There might be something wrong with your car, lift up the hood and see if your hamster is still alive.

do what iluvbritney said. You have to hold the button BEFORE you start the car, not after

I thought NEWARK-aveP-NJ did that already.
Well this is what you have to do.
1 make sure the car is off.
2 hold the odometer reset **** in(the black long button from your speedo guage if you guys have it).
3 turn the car on.
4 let go of the button after a few seconds.

I thought he meant turning on the car while he holding down trip meter.

it is in the book. follow the directions and it should work. If not, take it to Honda and they should fix it under warrenty.
