reset engine light

hi, how to reset the maintaince light for 02 TL-S. thx

**Bones21** · 03-16-2005, 06:33 PM

try disconnecting the battery for about 10 seconds, then it should reset. But if the problem that triggered the code hasnt been fixed, or you have an engine swap, it will just come on again.

well, we've done the service already, just not tho the dealership. so we need the reset the engine light without going to dealership.....that's all....

besides disconnec the battery, is there any other way to reset it??

Is it the "check engine light" or the "maintenance required" box that turns red at a certain mileage?

**bighead2267** · 03-17-2005, 10:03 PM

the maintaince required light.....
is anyway you can reset it without disconnect it and reset it???

**CivicDXR** · 03-17-2005, 10:26 PM

maintenance required light can be reset, it should tell you how to do it in the owners manual...

**BokCh0y** · 03-17-2005, 11:22 PM

check the manual. my accord has info on this in there. I can't remember but I think this is how I did it.

The MAINTENANCE LIGHT can be reset by holding down the odometer while turning the key.

Correct me if I'm wrong been a while.

I dunno about the TL, but my CL has a little slot right next to the light. Just poke your key in it, should reset back to green.

**bighead2267** · 03-19-2005, 01:43 AM

i know what u guys talk about the slot to put the key in. but the TL is a actual light shows maintaince required. not the green turn to red kind..........

just like the DC style 4DR integra, it have a maintance required light in dashboard.

is anyone know how to turn that light off besides disconnect the battery or unplug the fuse?

**Bones21** · 03-19-2005, 08:28 PM

why dont you just disconnect the batt and get it over with?

**bighead2267** · 03-20-2005, 12:18 AM

i know that will work, but i'm just wondering is anyone know the proper way to reset that light.......b'coz i dont' think dealership need any tools to reset it either........

Do you have two buttons to the right side of your dashboard? if so HOLD BOTH OF THE BUTTONS DOWN. While holding them down with your left hand, turn the key to the accessory/on position WITHOUT starting the car. The light should go out after about 1 minute and you're set, start the car and you're on your way.

just disconnect the battery. and start up again. it will reset. Honda's and acura's also have problems with their gas cap sensors. so when u fill up, twist 4-5 times. i have this problem with my odyssey and civic.

**HTN SWCHS** · 03-20-2005, 01:42 PM

turn the car on, hold the button down, turn the car off right away for at least 20 seconds, turn the car back on, it might work this works for the chev ventures and trucks

**bighead2267** · 03-20-2005, 09:26 PM

BerserkerCatsp................thx for the info. that's all i wanna know. i'll give a try......tonight

**bighead2267** · 03-25-2005, 12:32 AM

guess what i unplug the battery, try push and hold the buttom................it's not work........

the maintaince light still on...............no idea...........no clue..

**Jenova** · 03-25-2005, 03:20 AM

That Probably Means something is still broken

Here’s the full procedure to reset the MID display.

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON

2. Select Trip A or Trip B (You can use either one, so if you are using one to record data for something, use the other one to reset the Oil Life Indicator).

3. Press the < or > button repeatedly until the oil life is displayed.

4. Press and hold the Select/Reset button for 10 seconds. The Multi-Information Display will ask for a confirmation.

a. If you are sure you want to reset the display, press the Select/Reset button for 10 seconds again.

b. If you do not want to reset the display, press the < or > button to select “Cancel”

Hope this helps

**bighead2267** · 03-27-2005, 07:55 PM

they have the trip A & B feature. but i never see any arrow sign like < or >

i can try to again hold either one buttom tonight and let you know how it turn out............

Jenova, i need to reset the maintaince required light..........not the engine light. as i know. only time something not working is turn the engine light on not the maintaince light .........correct me if i'm wrong
