Step 1: Understanding Honda’s Maintenance Minder System 

The Maintenance Minder System is like a built-in service assistant. It monitors key factors such as speed, engine temperature, and driving conditions to determine when your car needs an oil change or other maintenance. Instead of relying on a fixed schedule, it gives alerts based on actual vehicle use. When maintenance is due, your dashboard will display a service code, letting you know what needs attention. 

Step 2: Resetting the Maintenance Minder Light 

Once the service is complete, you may need to reset the light manually. Here’s how: 

For Most Honda Models (Using Steering Wheel Controls): 

  • Turn the ignition to “On” (do not start the engine).Ā 
  • Use the steering wheel buttons to navigate to the Maintenance Minder screen.Ā 
  • Press and hold the Enter button until the display blinks.Ā 
  • Select ā€œResetā€ and confirm.Ā 

For Older Models (Using the Trip Button): 

  • Turn the key to the “On” position.Ā 
  • Press the trip reset button until the oil life percentage appears.Ā 
  • Hold the button for about 10 seconds until the display blinks.Ā 
  • Release and press it again to confirm the reset.Ā 

Step 3: When to Visit a Certified Honda Service Center 

If the light doesn’t turn off after following these steps, it could mean that the system needs a deeper look. The certified technicians at Flagship Honda can diagnose and resolve any lingering issues. Even after resetting the light, regular maintenance is still key to keeping your Honda running strong.
