reseting the little indicator thing

[daniel2453_]

ok this is kinda a dumb question but meh, i have a 96 civic coupe vti and i was wondering how do i reset the little maintenance required indicator?

[bennjamin]

you mean the yellow ECU light on the dash ? or is it a (!) sign on the dash ?

[daniel2453_]

nah its not a light, its about the size of a match head and its in the speedo window

is it that little orange/yellow square?

[bennjamin]

i didnt think any 2000 and below hondas had this function. All analogue dials and only lights to tell if something wrong.
exact location and colour ?

try pulling out the backup fuse for 10sec and put it back in and start up your car and let it run for awhile in another word resetting your ecu.. if that dont work think you might have an em1 cluster cause im pretty sure ej8 doesnt have them maintenance light

from memory i think i've seen an em1 with it. basically it comes on after a certrin amount of kms to let u know ur due for service

wat u do is stick a key in the little black slot near maintenance required icon. that is the reset button for it. it is tripped every 5000km to remind u that u it needs a service. it should be vertical black thing on the cluster and from memory to the left of the indicator

its the maintenance as said above
i havent seen myn move... well barely?

It goes amber at 10000 K, still waiting for mine to go red, doing a service next so'll reset it then.

Do all MY2000+ honda's have this function? Ive never noticed it in the Euro

my 98 ej8 has it.

red means you gotta service it? and amber = normal
